Location
The appliance may be fitted to any suitable wall with the flue
passing through an outside wall and discharging to
atmosphere in a position permitting satisfactory removal of
combustion products and providing an adequate air supply.
The appliance should be fitted within the building unless
other-wise protected by a suitable enclosure ie. garage or
outhouse. The appliance may be fitted inside a cupboard
provided that ventilation requirements and combustible
material standards are adhered to.
If the appliance is fitted in a room containing a bath or
shower reference must be made to the Current I.E.E. Wiring
Regulations and Building Regulations. If the appliance is to
be fitted into a building of timber frame construction then
reference must be made to the current edition of Institute of
British Gas Engineers Publication IGE/UP/7 (Gas
Installations in Timber Framed Housing).
Recommendations for flues are given in BS 5440 Pt1.
Clearances
A flat vertical area is required for the installation of the boiler
measuring as shown. A space above the boiler should also
be left clear as indicated by the dotted lines.
These dimensions include the necessary clearances around
the appliance for case removal, spanner access and air
movement. Additional clearances may be required for the
passage of pipes around local obstructions such as joists
running parallel to the front face of the appliance.
If fitted inside a cupboard the clearance of 300mm shown is
only necessary when the cupboard door is open. A
3
clearance of 5mm ( / in) is required from the front of the
16
casing when the door is closed.

NOTE: On gravity applications a clearance of 80mm (3 / in)
8
is required from the top panel.
Flue Position
The following guide lines indicate the general requirements
for siting balanced flue terminals.
If the terminal is fitted within 1 metre (39in) of a plastic
gutter, within 500mm (19½ in) of a painted eave or a painted
gutter, an aluminium shield of at least 1 metre (39in) long
should be fitted to the underside of the gutter or painted
3
surface. An air space of 5mm ( / in) should be left between
16
shield and gutter.
If the terminal discharges onto a pathway or passageway,
check that combustion products will not cause a nuisance
and that the terminal will not obstruct the passageway.
If the outer surface of an outside wall is of combustible
material, it should be protected by fitting a non-combustible
plate so that it extends not less than 50mm (2in) around the
terminal.
