Terminal Position - Separate Twin
1. Both terminals must be on the same wall. It is also permissible to situate
the air inlet terminal in a ventilated uninhabited void or compartment (e.g.
loft space)
2.The terminals must not be closer than 120mm when measured between
the centrelines (Fig. A).
3. If this distance is up to 300mm the flue outlet duct must protrude
200mm from the wall face. The air inlet must protrude 60mm (Fig. A).
4. When the distance between centrelines is greater than 300mm the flue
outlet duct must protrude 100mm and the air inlet 60mm (Fig. B).
5. When the air inlet terminal is situated in a ventilated uninhabited void or
compartment there must be at least 300mm from the floor of this space
to the terminal. No obstructions must be placed within a 300mm radius of
the terminal.
