OPEN GAS FIREPLACE - Minimum Flue Clearances*
The Flue Terminal shall be
located so that wind from
any direction is not likely
to create a downdraught
in the flue. A Flue Cowl,
AGA approved to AS4566
(AG604) must be fitted to
the end of the flue pipe.
The minimum flue length
must not be shorter than
3.5 metres. Maintain a
minimum of 500mm from
the bottom of the flue
cowl to the nearest part
of the roof if the flue cowl
is at least 510mm from a
neighbouring structure. If
less than 510mm, the flue
terminal must be located
at least 500mm above that
structure. Refer to AS5601
- 2004 (AG601) sections
5.13.6.2 and 5.13.6.4 to
ensure that the location
of the flue terminal fully
complies for installations
with a trafficable roof, a
chimney, another flue
terminal or near any
openings into a building.
