INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS ((continued)
Avoid locating the terminal in close proximity to combustible materials, such as plastic drainpipes and fences. If
these are impossible to avoid, then a suitable metal deflector must be used if the flue gasses begin to heat the
object. For minimum standard dimensions of clearance see below.
Covered areas such as under car ports should be avoided but if no alternative is available the following notes
should be adhered to; The covered area should have at least two open sides (i.e. a roof and ONE supporting wall).
If more than one side is filled, then advice must be sought on the location’s suitability. Any openings into
dwellings such as doors, windows and air vents under the covered area must be at least 1200mm away from the
terminal position. If the roof is constructed from plastic material, great care must be taken with the installation as
there is no simple method of protecting this type of roof from heat build up.

A - 300mm above ground level/roof or balcony level.
B - 200mm below balconies or car ports.
C - 1500mm vertically between terminals.
D - 300mm horizontally between terminals on same wall.
E - 75mm below gutters, soil pipes or drain pipes.
F - 200mm below eaves.
G - 300mm from internal or external corners
H - 150mm from vertical drain pipes.
J - 300mm directly below an openable window or other opening e.g. air vent.
K - 1200mm from an opening into the building under a car port.
L - 600mm from a surface facing the terminal.
M - 1200mm from another terminal facing the terminal.
Care should also be taken with the terminal location relative to nearby plants, grass, or trees as the gases expelled
may be hot enough to damage them. At least 1000mm clearance is recommended.
