NOTES:
1
Where dimensions c, j or k cannot be achieved an equivalent horizontal distance
measured diagonally from the nearest discharge point of the terminal to the opening
may be deemed by the Technical Regulator to comply.
2
See Clause 6.9.4 for restrictions on a flue terminal under a covered area.
3
See Figure J3 for clearances required from a flue terminal to an LP Gas cylinder.
A flue terminal is considered to be a source of ignition.
