The terminal must be located so that the outlet is not obstructed. If
the flue terminal is located within 2 meters of a footway, path or
where people could come into contact with it then a suitable
terminal guard must be fitted.
Terminals located close to shared walkways, footpaths etc. could be
subject to legal constraints and this should be pointed out to the
customer before installation. If in any doubt about flue location
advice should be sought from local building control, or if appliance-
related, from the manufacturer including wherever possible a
dimensioned sketch.
Avoid locating the terminal in close proximity to plastic materials
such as gutters or other combustibles. If this is unavoidable then a
suitable deflector should be made.
Some important requirements for a good functioning are:
The wall-mounted terminal has to be at a distance of at least 0,5
meters off:
- Corners of the building.
- Below eaves.
- Balcony's etc. unless the duct is dragged to the front side of the
overhanging part.
The roof mounted terminal has to be at a distance of at least 0,5
meters of the sides of the roof, excluded the ridge.
