B(H) Balanced Horizontal flue
1   An opening means an openable 
element, such as an openable 
window, or a permanent opening 
such as a permanently open air vent.
Notwithstanding the dimensions 
above, a terminal should be at least 
300mm from combustible material, 
e.g. a window frame.
2  A way of providing protection of 
combustible material would be to fit 
a heat shield at least 750mm wide.
• Flue terminals must be positioned to avoid 
combustion products entering into buildings.
• The flue must be fitted and terminated in 
accordance with the recommendations of 
BS5410.
• The flue must not cause an obstruction.
• Discharge from the flue outlet must not be a 
nuisance.
• Flue gases have a tendency to plume and in 
certain weather conditions a white plume of 
condensation will be discharged from the flue
outlet which could be regarded as a          
nuisance, for example, near security lighting.
• There should be no restriction preventing the 
clearance of combustion products from the 
terminal.
• The air inlet/outlet duct and the terminal of 
the boiler must not be closer than 25mm to 
any combustible material. Detailed          
recommendations on protection of           
combustible materials are given in BS 5410:1
• A protective terminal guard must be fitted if 
the terminal is 2m or less above a surface 
where people have access.
Stainless steel terminal guard.
Part No: 7 716 190 050
• The following additional guidelines (from part 
L Exceptions Guidance Document) are 
recommended when determining the flue 
outlet position:
•  Avoid discharging flue gases into car ports 
or narrow passageways.
• *Minimum distance of the flue terminal from 
above ground is 2100mm where directed to a
public footpath, private access route or a 
frequently used area  and 2500mm from a 
car parking area.
