All vertical and angled runs must be included, measured from the boiler adaptor (point X) to the joint with the flue terminal (point Y). One 91.5° bend or two 135° bends can be included without reduction of the flue length.
If further elbows are required the flue length must be reduced by the following amounts:-
|
|
1 metre for each 91.5° bend | (ii) |
| |
0.5 metre for each 135° bend |
