It is absolutely ESSENTIAL to ensure, in practice, that products of combustion discharging from the terminal cannot Boiler size SE30FF SE40FF SE50FF SE60FF SE70FF SE80FF re-enter the building or any other adjacent building through ventilators, windows, doors, other sources of natural air infiltration, Boiler 11.7...
GENERAL all dimensions in mm (in.) OPEN VENT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS The system should be vented directly off the boiler flow pipe, as close to the boiler as possible. The cold feed entry should be inverted and MUST be positioned between the pump and the vent, and not more than 150mm (6") away from the vent connection.
