and in the Republic of Ireland in accordancce with the following 
codes of practice:

Avoid installing the boiler where the air inlet can be polluted 
by chemical products such as chlorine (swimming pool area), or 
ammonia (hair dresser), or alkalin products (launderette).

Flue
Detailed information on fl ue assembly can be found in the 
“Connecting the Flue” section.
The boiler must be installed so that the fl ue terminal is exposed 
to the free passage of external air at all times and must not be 
installed in a place likely to cause nuisance.  It must not be allowed 
to discharge into another room or space such as an outhouse or 
closed lean-to.

Condensing boilers have a tendency to form a plume of water 
vapour from the fl ue terminal due to the low temperature of 
the fl ue gasses.  The terminal should therefore be located with 
due regard for the damage or discolouration that may occur to 
building within the vicinity and consideration must also be given 
to adjacent boundaries, openable windows should also be taken 
into consideration when siting the fl ue.

The minimum acceptable clearances are shown below:

 - A Directly below an opening, window, etc 

300 mm

- B Horizontally to an opening, window, etc 

300 mm

- C Below gutters, soils pipes or drain pipes 

75 mm

- D Below eaves 

200 mm

- E From vertical drain pipe or soil pipe 

75 mm

- F From internal or external corner 

300 mm

- G Above ground, roof or balcony level 

300 mm

- H From a surface facing the terminal 

600 mm

- I   From a terminal facing a terminal 

1200 mm

- J  Vertically from a terminal on the same wall 

1500 mm

- K Horizontally from an terminal on the same wall 

300 mm

- L Fixed by vertical fl ue terminal

It may be necessary to protect the terminal with a guard, if this is 
the case it will be necessary to purchase a stainless steel terminal 
guard.  Reference should be made to the Building Regulations for 
guidance.

Ventilation
The room in which the boiler is installed does not require specifi c 
ventilation.  If the boiler is installed in a cupboard or compartment 
ventilation is not required for cooling purposes.
