The flue terminal should be located so that the wind can blow freely
across it at all times and where any blockage due to leaves, snow, etc. is unlikely.
The minimum allowable distances from the terminal are shown in the
following table and figure 3.
Note: The distances are from the edge of the vertical exit
slots in the terminal
not from the edges of the rectangular box (See figure 3a).

This appliance is supplied with a terminal guard. In England and Wales,
the Building Regulations require that the terminal guard is fitted if the flue
terminal can come in contact with people near the building or be subject to
damage. Even if the regulations do not demand it, we recommend that the
guard is fitted to prevent damage or blockage of the flue system by leaves etc.
