OPEN GAS FIREPLACE - Minimum Flue Height
Flue Termination
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 1m from a
neighbouring structure. If less than
1m, 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.
