The position of the flue outlet is one of the important points to be considered when determining
where to install the appliance. The flue outlets must be connected directly to the outer environment
and to places with air circulation.
Flue outlets must not be connected to;
• Passageways and corridors,
• Narrow eaves spaces,
• Ventilation and light spaces of buildings,
• Balconies (open or closed),
• Elevator cavities and to the underside of the protruding door parts that prevent waste gas
discharge,
• Openings that provide fresh air to other units,
• Courtyards between the buildings,
• Places that may be exposed to direct wind resistance.
• The distance from the front of the exterior roofing or wooden covering to the flue outlet must be
1,5m at least. (Figure 4a)
• Flue outlets should be protected with stainless or galvanized steel wire mesh cages in locations
where there is likely to be an impact to the flue outlet. This should be considered where there is
vehicle traffic. (Figure 4b)
• At places where people pass, for example on pavements, the flue outlet height should be at least
2m. (Figure 4c) For semi-basement buildings facing the sidewalks, this height can be at least 1m
provided that necessary safety precautions are taken.
• Where there is no human or vehicle traffic, it must be at least 0.3m high. (Figure 4d)
• For the apartments on the top floors of the buildings, conditions for the flue outlets of room sealed
appliances being directed to the light areas of the building are; the vertical direction should be
raised with original parts belonging to the manufacturer and the end point of the light area should
be reached. (The total length of the flue must remain within the permissible limits here.) In addition,
the distance between the exit point and the roof ridge, the number of apartments benefiting from
light, and the condition of the windows should be assessed.
