Plume Diver
ter Kit Part No: 956103
(For use with Standar
d horizontal flue kit - Part no 956083 - only)
This kit is provided to assist in fitting a condensing boiler with
reduced clearances when fitted in good practice according to the
Guide to Condensing Boiler Installation published by
DEFRA/HMSO.
This kit allows the boiler flue outlet to be directed to the left or to
the right only.
Under certain operating conditions condensing appliances have a
tendency to form a plume of water vapour at the terminal.
Therefore consideration should be given when fitting the Plume
Diverter in terms of plume dispersal onto adjacent surfaces and
neighbouring properties.
a)
Refer to section 2.5 for instr
uctions on fitting the flue system.
Also see Figure 5 for all other clearances.
INSTALLATION
PLUME DIVERTER TERMINAL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The diver
ter allows the terminal clearance to be reduced as
follows (see diagrams below):
Clearance H – F
rom a surface facing the terminal - 600mm.
Clearance F – From internal or external clearances - 300mm.
b)
Choose the dir
ection required to deflect the flue products
(left or right only)
c)
Push the diver
ter elbow onto the angled outlet of the flue
terminal in the desired rotational position and ensure the diverter
is pushed up to the shoulder to fully engage the rubber seal.
d)
Fix the diver
ter to the flue terminal with the self drilling screw
provided.
Do not use a power tool to fit scr
ew.
Note.
The Plume Diverter terminal must not under
any circumstances deflect flue products
downwards.

The resistance of the diverter is equivalent to 0.5
metre of flue length. Ensure this is used when
calculating the maximum allowable flue length.
(maximum horizontal flue length restricted to 4.5
metres when using the plume diverter).
