6 6.4 - FLUES REGULATIONS
Clearances advised by the BRITISH STANDARDS for Open Flues,
Low Level Balanced Flues and Balanced Flues fitted to Oil Fired Boilers.
THESE ARE ALSO THE BUILDING REGULATIONS FOR ENGLAND, WALES & SCOTLAND
Minimum distances to terminals in millimetres as measured from top of the chimney
APPLIANCE BURNER TYPE
A Directly below an opening, air brick, opening window etc *
B Horizontally to an opening, air brick, opening window etc *
C Below a gutter, eaves or balcony with protection *
D Below a gutter or a balcony without protection
E From vertical sanitary pipework
F From an internal or external corner or surface or boundary alongside the terminal
G Above ground or balcony level
H From a surface or boundary facing the terminal
J From a terminal facing the terminal
K Vertically from a terminal on the same wall
L Horizontally from a terminal on the same wall
M Above the highest point of an intersection with the roof
N From a vertical structure on the side of the terminal
0 Above a vertical structure less than 750mm from the side of the terminal
P From a ridge terminal to a vertical structure on the roof
1. Terminals should be positioned so as to avoid products of combustion accumulating in stagnant pockets
around the building or entering into buildings.
2. Appliances burning Class D oil have additional restrictions.(See 1.7.3 in Oftec Book 3 - Aug. 2002)
3 Vertical structure in N, 0 and P include tank or lift rooms, parapets, dormers etc.
4. Terminating positions A to L are only permitted for appliances that have been approved for low level flue
discharge when tested to OFS A100 or A101.
5. Terminating positions must be at least 1.8 metres distant from an oil storage tank unless a wall with at least
30 mins fire resistance and extending 300mm higher and wider than the tank is provided between the tank
and the terminating position.
6. Where a flue is terminated less than 600mm away from a projection above it and the projection consists
of plastic or has a combustible or painted surface, then a heat shield of at least 750mm wide should be
fitted to protect these surfaces.
7. For terminals used with vapourising burners, a horizontal distance of at least 2300mm is required between
the terminal and the roof line.
8. If the lowest part of the terminal is less than 2 metres above the ground, balcony, flat roof or other place to
which any person has access, the terminal must be protected by a guard.
9. Notwithstanding the dimensions given in the drawing and table, a terminal should not be sited closer
than 300mm to combustible material.
