4.3.1 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 appliancerelated, 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 least 0,5 m off:
à Corners of the building.
à Below eaves.
à 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.
