PLUME DIVERTER
TERMINAL INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.6.1
Plume Diverter Kit Part No: 956103
(For use with Standard horizontal flue kit - Part no 956083 - only)
This kit is provided to assist in fitting a condensing boiler with reduced
clearances when fitted in good practice according to the Guide to
Condensing Boiler Installation published by DEFRA/HMSO.
This kit allows the boiler flue outlet to be directed to the left or to the
right only.
Under certain operating conditions condensing appliances have a tendency
to form a plume of water vapour at the terminal. Therefore consideration
should be given when fitting the Plume Diverter in terms of plume
dispersal onto adjacent surfaces and neighbouring properties.
a)
Refer to section 2.5 for instructions on fitting the flue system.
Also see Figure 5 for all other clearances.
3h
The resistance of the diverter is equivalent to 0.5
metre of flue length. Ensure this is used when
calculating the maximum allowable flue length.
(maximum horizontal flue length restricted to 9.5
metres when using the plume diverter).
The diverter allows the terminal clearance to be reduced as follows (see
diagrams below):
Clearance H – From a surface facing the terminal - 600mm.
Clearance F – From internal or external clearances - 300mm.
b)
Choose the direction required to deflect the flue products
(left or right only)
c)
Push the diverter elbow onto the angled outlet of the flue terminal
in the desired rotational position and ensure the diverter is pushed
up to the shoulder to fully engage the rubber seal.
d)
Fix the diverter to the flue terminal with the self drilling screw
provided.
Do not use a power tool to fit screw.

Note.
The Plume Diverter terminal must not under any
circumstances deflect flue products downwards.
