3.5 FLUE TERMINAL LOCATION - Figs. 4 and 5
N
Boundary
Notes:
1. 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.
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 can be extended beyond gutters, pipes, eaves,
balconies etc. by upto 500 mm. If the flue is xtended more than 500 mm outside, it should be boxed and insulated.
4. 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.
5. A terminal must not be sited under a car port roof.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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 ab ve 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.
