1)

 In addition, the terminal should not be nearer than 150mm to an opening 

in the building fabric formed for the purpose of accommodating a built-in 
element such as a window.

2)

 Dimension B,C and D; These clearances may be reduced to  

25 mm without affecting the performance of the boiler. In order to ensure 
that the condensate plume does not affect adjacent surfaces the terminal 
should be extended as shown in Fig 7.4.

3)

 Dimension F; This clearance may be reduced to 25 mm without affecting 

the performance of the boiler. However, in order to ensure that the con-
densate plume does not affect adjacent surfaces a clearance of 300 mm is 
preferred. 

4)

 BS 5440-1 It is recommended that a fanned flue terminal should be posi-

tioned as follows: 
a) at least 2m from an opening in a building directly opposite, and 
b) so that the products of combustion are not directly directed to discharge 
across a boundary. For IE, recommendations are given in the current edition 
of IS 813.

7.3 Internal Flue Installation

The flue can be installed from inside the building when 
access to the outside wall face is not practicable.

7.4 Flue Options

There are various flue systems to choose from, as 
follows:
•  Vertical air/flue duct and terminal 

303 900

•  Air/flue duct extension (470 mm) 

303 902

•  Air/flue duct extension (970 mm) 

303 903

•  Air/flue duct extension (1970 mm) 

303 905

•  Telescopic air/flue duct extension 
(440 mm - 690 mm) 

 

303 906

• 87° elbow 

 

303 910

• Two 45° bends 

 

303 911

•  Standard horizontal air/flue duct 
with elbow and terminal (800 mm) 

303 930

Additional accessories are available.

8 Installation preparation

8.1 Unpacking of Boiler

Stand the boiler carton upright.
Cut and remove the securing straps and lift off the carton 
sleeve. Place aside the flue adaptor and connections 
pack until required.
Carefully lay the boiler on its back, remove the two front 
casing panel securing screws and lift off the panel from 
two retaining lugs, see diagram 8.1.
Remove the two inner casing panel securing screws 
at the bottom front of the panel, then lift off the two 
retaining lugs, see diagram 8.2.

8.2 Using boiler template

Fix the paper template to the wall ensure that the
template is vertical.
The template shows
• The position of the fixing holes for the boiler mounting 

bracket (1).

• The position of the connections.
• The position of the flue exit hole.
Mark the position of the top hanging bracket fixing holes.
Drill 2 holes to accept the wallplugs/screws supplied for 
the hanging bracket.

NOTE: 

Use alternative fixing holes where necessary.
