Keston K130 Installation And Servicing Instructions page 16

WD52/0/1997
The air inlet terminal must face upwards to prevent entry of rain into the air intake
pipework.
The flue outlet terminal is designed to face outwards but can, if desired, be
adapted to face in any direction BUT must not be directed in the region of the air
inlet.
The two terminals are subject to the requirements of BS 5440 Pt 1 for clearances
from features of the building although some can be decreased to the values
indicated.
If either the air inlet or the flue outlet terminate at a height of less than 2m (6ft)
above ground level the termination must be protected by a suitable guard. The K4
terminal guard, manufactured by Tower Flue Components Ltd, is suitable for this
purpose and can be obtained from Keston Boilers.
The Keston Condensing Boiler, as with any condensing boiler, will generate
a condensate "plume" from the flue terminal in all weather conditions.
Consideration must therefore be given to the effect of this "plume" when
selecting a location for the flue terminal.
It is advisable for horizontal flue terminals to place a 45
flue to direct the condensate plume up and away from the property.
2.8.5 Clearances From Wall
Flue outlet and air inlet terminations must be at least 60 mm and 95 mm
respectively from the wall face.
2.8.6 Distance Between Flue Outlet & Air Inlet
There is no maximum - the terminations can be on opposite sides of the dwelling
if desired.
A minimum clearance of at least 500 mm must be left between the terminations.
2.8.7 General Installations
All parts of the system must be constructed in accordance with BS 5440 Part 1,
except where specifically mentioned in these instructions.
All pipe work must be adequately supported.
