Detailed information on flue assembly can be found in Section
4 "Fitting the Flue".
The appliance must be installed so that the flue terminal is
exposed to the free passage of external air at all times and
must not be installed in a place likely to cause nuisance. It
must not be allowed to discharge into another room or space
such as an outhouse or closed lean-to.
The terminal should be located with due regard for the dam-
age or discolouration that might occur to buildings in the vicin-
ity and consideration must also be given to adjacent bound-
aries.
In cold or humid weather, water vapour may condense on
leaving the flue terminal. The effect of such "pluming" must be
considered.
