Vaillant eco TEC plus 415 Instructions Manual page 75

Important:
The flue outlet of the variable termi-
nation must face directly upwards.
Flue Terminal Clearances
Minimum flue terminal clearances
are defined in BS5440, and these
must apply unless the boiler manu-
facturer has received approval to
quote smaller clearances that are
not safety critical. Vaillant have re-
duced flue terminal clearances
approved and these are given in the
boiler installation instructions. These
are the minimum clearances that
must apply to all installations, except
when a Variable Termination Kit
(VTK) is fitted.
When a VTK is fitted to the horizon-
tal flue, the terminal clearances for
the air inlet are reduced. The termi-
nal clearances for the 'new' flue
outlet at the end of the VTK do not
change.
The minimum terminal clearances A,
B & C for the air inlet of the VTK are
reduced to 50 mm from an opening
such as a window, and 25mm from
an opening such as an airbrick. This
means that the terminal on the
horizontal flue becomes the air inlet
when a VTK is fitted, and hence can
be located less than 300mm from
an opening window or airbrick.
