Any air intake terminal MUST be installed in accordance

with the appropriate regulation. 

As a guide, the BS5440 series of British Standards

deals with this issue and currently states that an air

intake must be at a minimum distance of 300mm from a

gas boiler balanced flue. Installers are advised to be

aware of the requirements of this standard when

installing ‘through the wall’ supply air ducting.

Similarly, supply and extract air grilles should be 

at least 300mm apart.

Installation cont. 

Before the unit is used

A bead of silicone is to be 

applied along the edge 

between the drip tray and 

the heat exchanger. 

This is to prevent any 

water from running down 

between the drip tray and 

the heat exchanger. If this 

seal is broken at any time in 

the future then it must be 

resealed with silicone. The fixing screw in the drip 

tray must also be sealed with silicone.

Condensate Drain

The condensate drain tube protrudes from the 

base of the unit (see figure 8). The condensate 

should be disposed of via a water 

trap connection to the outside of 

the property or connected to  

the house sewage system.

Spigot location and 
airflow:

Supply air to house - 

spigots 1, 5, and 7.

Extract air to outside - 

spigot 3.

Fresh air from outside - 

spigot 4.

Extract from kitchen/

bathroom etc - 

spigots 2, 6, 8 and 9.
