Dutch term or phrase: trekhoogte
To do with central heating boiler.

I know what this means - it is the area above the boiler required - hoogte can be translated as head, trek as draft/draught, but I've hunted for the trek+ hoogte combination and can't come up with anything meaningful - except for a couple of instances on what look like translated websites. All thoughts gratefully received.

Indien er onvoldoende trekhoogte (minimaal 2m) is voor een collectieve rookgasafvoer en/of luchttoevoer, dan zult u individuele dakdoorvoeren dienen toe te passen.

(flue) draught height
Explanation:
'Flue height' or 'draught height' would be OK too, in my opinion.

ventilation opening


Explanation:
Tightly constructed buildings must be provided with combustion air and ventilation
openings to boiler room which are adequate to handle the boiler needs plus the needs of
all other fuel-burning appliances, fireplaces and exhaust or ventilation fans.
• Combustion and ventilation openings connecting directly or by ducting to outside, or to
attic or crawl spaces that freely connect with outside, must be sized as follows:
1. Outside wall or vertical ducting — one square inch per 4.000 Btuh input of all
appliances in room plus requirements for any exhaust fans or other appliances in
room.
