Flue
NOTE:
Due to the nature of the boiler a plume of water
vapour will be discharged from the flue. This should be
taken into account when siting the flue terminal.
1. The following guidelines indicate the general requirements
for siting balanced flue terminals. For GB recommendations
are given in BS 5440 Pt 1. For IE recommendations are given
in the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas
Installations”.
2. If the terminal discharges onto a pathway or passageway,
check that combustion products will not cause a nuisance
and that the terminal will not obstruct the passageway.
3. If a terminal is less than 2 metres above a balcony, above
ground or above a flat roof to which people have access,
then a suitable terminal guard must be provided.
IMPORTANT:
• Under car ports we recommend the use of the plume
displacement kit.
• The terminal position must ensure the safe and
nuisance - free dispersal of combustion products.
*4. Reduction to the boundary is possible down to 25mm
but flue deflector part no. 5111068 must be used.
