J
Above an opening, air brick, window etc.
K
Vertically from a terminal on the same wall
L
Horizontally from a terminal on the same wall
M Horizontally from an opening, air brick, window etc.
N
Minimum protrusion through a roof
O
From a vertical obstruction
P
From an openable window
Q
From an adjacent vertical terminal
R
From an opening in the car port (e.g. door, window) into the dwelling
S
Below a roof window
T
Terminal parallel to a boundary
*
In addition, the terminal should not be nearer than 150 mm to the framework of an opening into the building, i.e. a window surround or door surround.
** This clearance may be reduced to 25 mm without effecting the performance of the boiler. However, to ensure the condensate plume does not affect
adjacent surfaces a clearance of 300 mm is preferable.
*** These clearances may be reduced to 25 mm without effecting the performance of the boiler. However, to ensure the condensate plume does not affect
adjacent surfaces the terminal can be extended beyond gutters, pipes, eaves, balconies etc. by up to 500 mm. If the flue is extended more than 500 mm
outside, it should be boxed and insulated.
**** To reduce the possibility of nuisance to neighbouring buildings etc. it is recommended the terminal should not be less than 2500 mm from car parking
spaces, building boundary walls, fences etc.
