Appendix Inspection and maintenance work – Overview The table below lists the manufacturer requirements with respect to minimum inspection and maintenance intervals. If na- tional regulations and directives require shorter inspection and maintenance intervals, you should observe these instead of the intervals listed in the table.
Appendix Opening in the air/flue pipe D, E Positioning of the opening of a fan-supported flue gas pipe Minimum dimen- Installation site sions Directly below an opening, air bricks, opening windows, etc., that can be opened. 300 mm Above an opening, air bricks, opening windows, etc., that can be opened. 300 mm Horizontally to an opening, air bricks, opening windows, etc., that can be opened.
Appendix Horizontal terminal positioning BS 5440-1 recommends that fanned flue chimney terminals should be positioned as follows: a) at least 2 m from an opening in the building directly opposite, and b) so that the products of combustion are not directed to discharge directly across a boundary if the products are likely to cause a nuisance to a neighbour or discharge over a walkway or patio.
