10. In dwellings where it is intended to install open-flue appliances and extract ventilation, the combustion appliance should
be able to operate safely, whether or not the fans are running. A way of showing compliance with The Building Regulations
in these circumstances would be to follow the installation guidance shown below, and to show by tests that combustion
appliances operate safely, whether or not the fans are running.
A. For gas appliances: where a room contains an open-flue appliance, the extract rate should not exceed
20l/s (72m³/h).
B. For oil appliances: where a room contains an open-flue appliance, the extract rate should be limited to
40l/s (144m³/h) for an appliance with a pressure jet burner and 20l/s (72m³/h) for an appliance with a
vaporising burner.
C. For solid fuel appliances: avoid installing extract ventilation in the same room.
Further reference should be made to Approved Document J of The Building Regulations.

14. Extract ceiling valves should be positioned at least 300mm from internal walls to allow airflow measuring equipment to
fit correctly over the valves.
15. Ducting should be insulated where it passes through unheated spaces and voids (e.g. loft spaces) to reduce the
possibility of condensation forming.
