The flue terminal must be exposed to the external air and the position must allow the free passage of air
across it at all times. In certain weather conditions the terminal may emit a plume of steam. Avoid position-
ing the terminal where this may cause a nuisance. If the terminal is fitted within 850 mm of a plastic or
painted gutter or 450 mm of painted eaves or 300 mm of a plastic car port roof, an aluminium shield at least
1 m long should be fitted to the underside of the gutter or painted surface. If the terminal is fitted less than 2
m above a surface to which people have access, the terminal must be protected by a terminal guard.
IMPORTANT— Failure to install flue systems correctly may lead to serious injury or death. Ensure
that:
•
Only flues specifically designed for condensing boilers and provided by RVR Energy Technology
Limited are used.
•
The flue slopes slightly towards the boiler by between 1 and 2 degrees to ensure any condensate
flows towards the boiler. Failure to do this will result in condensate dripping from the flue terminal.
•
The flue is adequately supported along it’s length so that it is straight and cannot be moved without
using a tool.
•
The flue system has no low points where condensate can collect.
•
All flue terminals are securely fixed.
•
No chemicals, detergents, solvents or liquids of any kind are used in the assembly of the flue system.
Talc may be used as a lubricant where necessary.
•
All joints and connections are properly assembled to prevent leakage and all seals are properly
seated.
•
The flue is thoroughly tested for leaks after installation.
