Flue
Detailed information on fl ue assembly can be found in the
"Connecting the Flue" section.
The boiler must be installed so that the fl ue 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.
Condensing boilers have a tendency to form a plume of water
vapour from the fl ue terminal due to the low temperature of
the fl ue gasses. The terminal should therefore be located with
due regard for the damage or discolouration that may occur
to building within the vicinity and consideration must also be
given to adjacent boundaries, openable windows should also
be taken into consideration when siting the fl ue.
The minimum acceptable clearances are shown below:
- A Directly below an opening, window, etc
- B Horizontally to an opening, window, etc
- C Below gutters, soils pipes or drain pipes
- D Below eaves
- E From vertical drain pipe or soil pipe
- F From internal or external corner
- G Above ground, roof or balcony level
- H From a surface facing the terminal
- I From a terminal facing a terminal
- J Vertically from a terminal on the same wall
- K Horizontally from an terminal on the same wall 300 mm
- L Fixed by vertical fl ue terminal
N : T
OTE HE FLUE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN A PLACE LIKELY TO CAUSE A
NUISANCE AND POSITIONED TO ENSURE THAT PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION DO
NOT DISCHARGE ACROSS A BOUNDARY
It may be necessary to protect the terminal with a guard, if this
is the case it will be necessary to purchase a stainless steel
terminal guard. Reference should be made to the Building
Regulations for guidance.
Ventilation
The room in which the boiler is installed does not require
specifi c ventilation. If the boiler is installed in a cupboard or
compartment ventilation is not required for cooling purposes.
