3.5 FLUE TERMINAL LOCATION - Fig. 4
Fig. 4
Terminal position
A Directly below an opening, air brick, windows, etc.
B Below gutters, soil pipes or drain pipes
C Below eaves
D Below balconies
E From a vertical drain pipe or soil pipe
F From an internal or external corner
G Above ground, roof or balcony level
H From a surface facing the terminal
I From a terminal facing the terminal
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.
Note: A terminal must not be sited under a car port roof
Note: In certain weather conditions the terminal will emit a plume of steam. If possible avoid positioning the terminal where this may cause
a nuisance, i.e. positions A, D, G, H, J or M.
The flue terminal must be exposed to the external air and the position must allow the free passage of air across it at all times.
If the terminal is fitted within 850 mm of a plastic or painted gutter or 450 mm of painted eaves, an aluminium shield at least 1 m
long should be fitted to the underside of the gutter or painted surface. A terminal must not be sited below 2 m where people
have access to, such as public footpaths, access routes, patios etc. However, If the terminal is fitted less than 2 m above a
surface where there is no public access, the terminal must be protected by a terminal guard.
A suitable guard is available from Alpha Therm Ltd.
For further information refer to BS 5440 Pt1:2008.
3.6 BOILER LOCATION
The boiler is not suitable for external installation, unless it is installed within a purpose designed weatherproof building.
The boiler must be installed on a flat vertical wall which is capable of supporting the weight of the boiler. The boiler can be fitted
to or adjacent to a wall comprising of a combustible material without the need for a special thermal insulation barrier.
If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building, it should be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineers 'Guide
for Gas Installations in Timber Frame Housing', reference IGE/UP/7.
The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the
current IEE Wiring (BS7671) Regulations, and in Scotland, the electrical provisions of the Building Regulations applicable in
Scotland, with respect to the installation of the boiler in a room or internal space containing a bath or shower. Where a room-
sealed boiler is installed in a room containing a bath or shower, it must not be possible for a person using the bath or shower
to touch any electrical switch or boiler control utilising mains electricity.
The boiler may be installed in a cupboard or compartment, provided it is correctly designed for that purpose, i.e. complies with
the Building Regulations and the requirements of BS 6798.

than 150 mm to the framework of an
opening into the buiding, i.e. a window
surround or door surround.
2. 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.
3. 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 should be extended beyond gutters,
pipes, eaves, balconies etc.
4. It is recommended the terminal should not
be less than 2000 mm from boundary walls,
fences etc. if the plume is likely to cause a
nuisance.
5. This distance may be reduced to 300 mm if
terminal is not facing the boundary.
