5.2 Conventional Flues
The flue system should be designed in accordance with local
bye-laws and the Building Regulations. Draught stabilisers
are not recommended for oil fired boilers. Sharp bends
or horizontal runs should be avoided and the flue should
terminate 2 feet (600mm) above the ridge of the dwelling.
Terminals which restrict the discharge or allow ingress of
water should be avoided.
When connecting to an existing masonry chimney, a flexible
flue liner suitable for use with oil fired condensing boilers and
of an appropriate diameter must be used. The annular space
must be filled with insulation and sealed top and bottom.
The starter piece should be sealed into the conventional
flue adaptor using a high temperature silicone sealant, fire
cement must not be used.
Only proprietary flue systems designed specifically
for use with oil-fired condensing boilers may be used.
The flue system manufacturer’s installation instruction
must be followed.

5.3 Low Level Balanced Flue Terminal Positions
Attention should be given to the position of the flue discharge;
we recommend the following guidelines be adopted.
.
The flue should not discharge beneath opening windows or
near other accesses to the building.
2.
The flue should not discharge near internal/external corners
of the building where turbulent wind conditions could occur.
3.
A terminal guard must be fitted at all times.
4.
The terminal should not discharge over property boundaries.
5.
Discharge into narrow passageways should be avoided.
6.
The location of the terminal and routing of the flue should
be determined by the installer after consultation with the
householder.
7.
In positioning the flue the wind direction should be
considered.
Installation in exposed positions is not recommended.
8.
Account must be made of the pluming from the flue. If it is
likely to be a nuisance to the householder the use of a vertical
balanced flue or conventional flue should be considered.
