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.
4.3 - InstallatIon - flue regulatIons 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.

4.5 - InstallatIon - flue systems Condensate Plume disPersal When choosing the location for a condensing boiler, special consideration must be given to the positioning of the flue terminal. Care should be taken to locate it so as to prevent either the end user or their neighbours perceiving the plume to be a nuisance. It should be noted that the normal statutory clearances required around low level flue terminals may not be sufficient to cope with plume dispersal from a condensing boiler.
