It must be placed so that it cannot be obstructed. It must be connected to the environment where the equipment is installed and it must be protected by a
grate. The minimum area of the outlet should not be less than 100 cm2.
When the air flow comes through openings that are connected to the exterior of adjacent environments, it is important to avoid air intakes in connection
with garages, kitchens, toilets, etc.
The boiler is provided with a necessary air intake for the combustion on the back side (40 or 60 mm diameter, depending on the model). It is important
that this intake is not blocked and to respect the recommended distances to the wall or near items.
It is recommended to connect the primary air intake of the boiler with the outside although it is not obligatory. The connection tube material can be made
in any material (PVC, aluminium, polyethylene, etc.), not necessarily metallic. Consider that inside this duct is going to pass air at the outside temperature.
