3.4 Flue Connection
3.4.1 General notes
This appliance may be installed with a roof terminal (C31) or a wall terminal (C11).
This appliance may only be used with Balanced Flue (otherwise known as Concentric Flue) parts as specified by
Heat Design. The Heat Design specified flue parts have been approved with the appliance. If the appliance is
installed on non-Heat Design approved parts, Heat Design cannot guarantee or accept and responsibility for the
proper and safe working of the appliance.
The flue system must be constructed from the appliance upwards, with all joints being fully locked and sealed
using the Heat Design specified parts.
3.4.2 Timber Frame Construction
Whilst it is possible to install room-sealed appliances in timber frame properties, great care needs to be taken
to ensure that the flue assembly does not interfere with the weather proofing qualities of any outer wall which
it may penetrate. Before attempting this work, it is advisable to consult with a qualified installer.
3.4.3 Carport or Building Extension
Where a flue terminal is sited within a carport or building extension, it should have at least two completely
open and unobstructed sides. The distance between the lowest part of the roof and the top of the terminal
should be at least 600mm.
Note: A covered passageway should not be treated as a carport. Flues should not be sited in a covered
passageway between properties.
3.4.4 Basements, Lightwells and Retaining walls
Flue terminals should not be sited within the confines of a basement area, light well or external space formed
by a retaining wall, unless steps are taken to ensure the products of combustion can disperse safely at all times.
It may be possible to install this Balanced Flue system in such a location provided that it is not sited lower than
1m from the top level of that area to allow combustion products to disperse safely.
Flue terminals should be sited to ensure total clearance of the combustion products in accordance with the
included information.
When the products of combustion are discharged, they should not cause a nuisance to adjoining or adjacent
properties and they should be positioned so that damage cannot occur to other parts of the building. If the outer
wall surface is constructed of combustible material, a non-combustible plate should be fitted behind the
terminal projecting 25mm beyond the external edges of the terminal.
