GENERAL INFORMATION
Conventional flue appliances require an
adequate supply of fresh air which must be
delivered to the boiler for combustion purposes
through a permanent inlet, such as an air brick,
into the area where the boiler is situated.
If a cupboard or compartment which is to be
used for storage or airing is built around the
appliance after installation there must be a
non-combustible partition around the boiler.
Further information can be found in BS 5410
which also describes venting requirements.
Venting compartments:
Ventilation must be provided for boilers fitted
into compartments as described in BS 5410
A minimum of 2 air vents must be fitted, one
at low level and another at high level onto
the same wall using the same air for
circulation.
Combustion air must not be taken from a
room or internal space containing a bath or
shower and must not communicate with a
protected area such as a hall, stairway,
landing, corridor, lobby, shaft etc.
Air vents must allow access for clean free air
and must be sited to comply with the flue
terminal position requirements.
Air ducting runs must not exceed 3m.
