4.1 Flue Options
There are various flue options to choose from as illustrated in
diagram 4.1. The flue lengths and installation are described in
section 10.

4.2 Flue Terminal Position

In GB the minimum acceptable siting dimensions for the
terminal from obstructions, other terminals and ventilation
openings are shown in diagram 4.2.
In IE the minimum distances for flue terminal positioning must
be those detailed in I.S.813 "Domestic Gas Installations".
The terminal must be exposed to the external air, allowing
free passage of air across it at all times.
Being a condensing boiler some pluming may occur from
the flue outlet. This should be taken into consideration when
selecting the position for the terminal.
Carports or similar extensions of a roof only, or a roof and
one wall, require special consideration with respect to any
openings, doors, vents or windows under the roof. Care is
required to protect the roof if made of plastic sheeting. If
the carport comprises of a roof and two or more walls, seek
advice from the local gas supply company before installing
the boiler.
H* and J* See diagram 4.2. These dimensions comply with
the building regulations, but they may need to be increased
300
to avoid wall staining and nuisance from pluming depending
on site conditions.

25
contact with the terminal or the terminal could be subject to
25
damage.

If a terminal guard is required, it must be positioned to
25
provide minimum of 50mm clearance from any part of the
