The appliance manufacturer’s instructions must be sought, which may detail a specific clearance from the flue / air supply duct (s) and Euroclass B - E rated materials, irrespective of flue–gas or
duct temperature.
The dimension of Euroclass A1 rated insulation around flue pipes / terminal can vary, for example, all flues serving oil fired boilers require a 300 mm minimum area around the flue pipe / terminal
