the clearances shown on this page. If you are unsure
about clearances not indicated here, in general refer
to AS/NZS 5601, or your local authority.

CAUTION
– All measurements are the minimum clearances
required.
– Terminals must be positioned so to avoid combustion
products entering the building.
– When the installer installs the flue through a
wall, the wall must be adequately sealed and the
hole must not affect the building structure or fire
resistance.
– Install a fire proof back board if installing on
combustible surfaces.
– The fixing method and the wall structure must be
sufficient to hold the weight of the boiler.
