The exhaust terminal will shoot out loads of visible steam,
"shoot out" does not sound so good. It is less than 3' to a fence and
then less than 3' to my neighbours house with the fence lower than the
vent. Shooting out whilst someone is walking down the side of the
house (either on my side or my neighbours) wouldn't be good.

Isn't it water vapour, rather than steam? I think it's quite pretty,
especially on a frosty day.

I don't think - although I could be wrong - the flue gets dangerously
hot. AFAIK it's acceptable to have the flue somewhere someone walks past
provided there's a wire cage over it to prevent direct contact.

What must be carefully positioned is the pressure relief outlet, which
shouldn't shoot out anything in normal circumstances, but will shoot out
boiling water and/or steam if Something Goes Wrong.
