Depending on the approved installation types, there are several alternatives for connecting the air supply and flue gas discharge. The BFC appliances are approved for installation types C13, C33, C43, C53 and C63.

The most common installation types are:

C13: Concentric wall flue terminal and

This manual describes these installation types. If an explanation of other types of installation is required, please contact A.O. Smith.
