4.3 - VENT REQUIREMENTS
BALANCED FLUE LOCATION
Notes: 1. The terminal should be positioned to avoid combustion products entering
the building or accumulating in stagnant pockets around buildings.
2. The terminal must be installed 7 ft above public walkway or in a
position where any person has access to it (i.e. a balcony).
3. A heat protection shield should be fitted if the terminal is less than 36” from
a plastic or painted gutter or less than 18” from painted eaves.
* FIREBIRD RECOMMENDS THAT THE FLUE SHOULD BE A MINIMUM DISTANCE
OF 4 FT FROM OPENINGS SO THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE A NUISANCE AND
PERMITS THE DISPERSAL OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR ANY BUILDING REGULATION AMENDMENTS WHICH MAY
HAVE BEEN ISSUED AFTER THE PUBLICATION OF THIS MANUAL
A. Horizontal from opening,
airbrick, opening window
etc.
B. From an internal or
external corner.
C. Below an opening,
airbrick, opening window
etc.
*Where the terminal is within 4 ft of any plastic material, such material should be protected from the
effects of combustion products of fuel. There are additional general requirements in most Regulations and
Standards that the flue must be positioned so that it does not cause a nuisance and permits the dispersal of
combustion products.
NOTE: The Buildings Regulations clearances shown above are minimum allowed. To take account of
prevailing site conditions it is advisable wherever necessary to follow the manufacturers preferred
recommendation. If in doubt contact manufacturer for advice.
