HORIZONTAL FLUE TERMINAL INSTALLATION

When the Water Heater is installed as a Type C
1. Determine the location of the flue terminal, taking into account minimum distances as detailed in Section 10.4.1 And the
relevant British Standards.
2. Taking care to protect the appliance from debris and dust, drill a hole in the desired location. The diameter of the hole
should be no more than 10mm greater than the diameter of the air supply pipe of the terminal.
3. Determine the required length of the terminal and cut as necessary.
When determining the required length for the flue terminal, the outer wall plate or rosette should be flush
to the wall. (see 10.11.1 )
Once cut; remove all burrs and sharp edges
4. Insert the terminal into the drilled hole. The terminal section should be installed level or with a fall to outside (Max. 10mm
per metre) to prevent the ingress of water.
When inserting the terminal, ensure the air intake section is at the bottom.
5. Fill the void between the terminal and wall with water resistant sealant.
6. Fit the wall plates or rosette using appropriate fixings.
7. Install the remainder of the flue system working progressively away from the Water Heater supporting the pipes as
necessary.
