AIR SUPPLY
The following information is based on single boiler installations only. If more than one boiler is being used,
BS5440-2
or
BS6644
(as appropriate) should be consulted to calculate the necessary requirements.

COMBUSTION VENTILATION
When used as a Type C appliance, provided sufficient clearance is provided, ventilation for combustion is not
necessary as the combustion air is ducted directly from outside.
When used as a Type B appliance, the combustion air requirements are as follows:
