Diagrams 20a and 20b show clearances advised by BS 5410 Part 1: 2014.
  • Page 18 BALANCED FLUE BOILERS The Firebird boiler may be set for room-sealed flue operation using a Firebird condensing balanced flue kit. This kit does not draw combustion air from inside the room. It is drawn from outside, direct to the burner by an air pipe supplied with the boiler.
  • Page 19 4.4 - FLUE REGULATIONS - REGULATIONS & GUIDELINES Ventilation and Combustion Air Conventional Flue Boilers An adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air is essential for efficient and safe boiler operation and the openings for this should be positioned to cause least possible draught, with no possibility of being accidentally blocked.
