3.3.1 Terminal position
Verify if the required terminal position meets the local installation regulations regarding
disturbance, good functioning and ventilation (Also see: safety requirements).
Note:
The terminal must be located so that the outlet is not obstructed. If the flue terminal is
located within 2 meters of a footway, path or where people could come into contact with it
then a suitable terminal guard must be fitted.
Terminals located close to shared walkways, footpaths etc. could be subject to legal
constraints and this should be pointed out to the customer before installation. If in any
doubt about flue location advice should be sought from local building control, or if
appliance-related, from the manufacturer including wherever possible a dimensioned
sketch.
Avoid locating the terminal in close proximity to plastic materials such as gutters or other
combustibles. If this is unavoidable then a suitable deflector should be made.
Some important requirements for a good functioning are:
- The wall-mounted terminal has to be at a distance of at least 0.5 meters off:
o Corners of the building;
o Below eaves;
o Balcony's etc. unless the duct is dragged to the front side of the overhanging
part.
- The roof mounted terminal has to be at a distance of at least 0.5 meters of the sides
of the roof, excluded the ridge.
