flue terminal too close to cooker vent

[leiadad]

some advice needed, I could do with some input on a fanned flue outlet being 200 mm away from a cooker hood vent, the vent has flaps which close when not under positive pressure from hood. would this be classed as safe due to the flaps closing when cooker hood not in operation. I respect the fact maufactures instructions and bs expect 300 mm but I am a suing this would be in an open vent or window which is not under any pressure. any help would be great

Yes but I would note it down anyway

I would not class this as safe. Both manufacturers and bs state 300mm. In the end if something goes wrong you are the one who gets the problem. Especially when people cook a lot they will use it.

I would probably insist on fitting a plume management kit to get above the vent to the manufacturers instructions.

The 300mm does not apply to vents from a fixed appliance, such as cooker hoods.
I will dig out a reference

You cannot as far as i know, as you would overcome the british standards.
