Note. Detailed recommendations for flues are given in the
current issue of BS5440 Part 1.
2.1 Terminal Position
The minimum acceptable siting dimensions for the terminal
from obstructions, other terminals and ventilation openings are
shown in diagram 2.1.
The terminal must be exposed to the external air, the position
allowing free passage of air across it at all times.
Car ports or similar extensions of a roof only, or a roof and one
wall, require special consideration with respect to any openings,
doors, vents or windows under the roof. Care is required to
protect the roof if it is made of plastic sheeting. If the car port
consists of a roof and two or more walls, seek advice from the
local gas company before installing the boiler.
If the terminal is fitted within 600mm below plastic guttering or
painted soffit an aluminium shield 1500mm long should be fitted
immediately beneath the guttering or eaves. If the terminal is
fitted within 450mm below painted eaves or a painted gutter, an
aluminium shield 750mm long should be fitted immediately
beneath the guttering or eaves.
2.2 Terminal Guard
A terminal guard is required if persons could come into contact
with the terminal or the terminal could be subject to damage.
If a terminal guard is required, it must be positioned to provide
a minimum of 50mm clearance from any part of the terminal and
be central over the terminal.
A suitable guard, reference Type K3, can be obtained from:
