Here we have pleasure in updating you on the current best practice with five easy steps<\/strong> that will make installing and commissioning a direct air supply go smoothly, will meet Regulations and will have the best chance of being effective long term.<\/p>\n

Step 1)<\/strong>\u00a0 If preferred, use a direct ventilation kit if it is supplied with the appliance and can be fitted to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\n

Step 2)<\/strong>\u00a0 If preferred, source a direct air supply if the manufacturer\u2019s instructions give clear guidance on the suitability and specification of the kit, and it can be fitted as per those instructions.<\/p>\n

Step 3)<\/strong>\u00a0 Find another ventilation method if the suitability and specification of a direct air supply cannot be established from the manufacturer of the appliance.<\/p>\n

Step 4)<\/strong>\u00a0 Fit additional ventilation if the spillage test indicates poor flue performance using just a direct air supply.<\/p>\n

Step 5)<\/strong>\u00a0 Complete the HETAS commissioning sheet.\u00a0 It not only documents the installation, but also requires the customer to sign confirming that any required safety information has been received and understood.<\/p>\n

For full technical guidance on the use of direct ventilation we suggest you use these simplified steps in conjunction with the full list of procedures set out in the HETAS article Going Direct<\/a>.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″ rt_wrp_col_paddings=”false” rt_border_top=”” rt_border_bottom=”” rt_border_left=”” rt_border_right=”” rt_border_top_mobile=”” rt_border_bottom_mobile=”” rt_border_left_mobile=”” rt_border_right_mobile=”” rt_bg_image_repeat=”repeat” rt_bg_size=”auto auto” rt_bg_position=”right top” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row rt_row_background_width=”default” rt_row_style=”default-style” rt_row_borders=”” rt_row_paddings=”true” rt_bg_effect=”classic” rt_bg_image_repeat=”repeat” rt_bg_size=”cover” rt_bg_position=”right top” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll” rt_bg_video_format=”self-hosted” rt_padding_top=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/6″ rt_wrp_col_paddings=”false” rt_border_top=”” rt_border_bottom=”” rt_border_left=”” rt_border_right=”” rt_border_top_mobile=”” rt_border_bottom_mobile=”” rt_border_left_mobile=”” rt_border_right_mobile=”” rt_bg_image_repeat=”repeat” rt_bg_size=”auto auto” rt_bg_position=”right top” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ rt_wrp_col_paddings=”false” rt_border_top=”” rt_border_bottom=”” rt_border_left=”” rt_border_right=”” rt_border_top_mobile=”” rt_border_bottom_mobile=”” rt_border_left_mobile=”” rt_border_right_mobile=”” rt_bg_image_repeat=”repeat” rt_bg_size=”auto auto” rt_bg_position=”right top” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
