Flue system

The provision for satisfactory flue termination must
be made as described in BS 5440 part 1.
The appliance must be installed so that the flue ter-
minal is exposed to external air.
It must not be installed so that the terminal dis-
charges into an other room or space as an out-
house or lean--- to. It is important that the position
of the terminal allows a free passage of air across
at all times.
The terminal should be located with due regard for
the damage or discoloration that might occur to
building products in the vicinity.
In cold and/or humid weather water vapour may
condense on leaving the flue terminal; the effect of
such "steaming" must be considered.
Pluming may easily occur at the terminal. Where
possible, terminal position which could cause a
nuisance should be avoided.
The minimum acceptable spacing from the ter-
minal to obstructions and ventilation openings are
specified in Fig. 5.1.
