The longest pipe must be used to check the maximum length. In this case, the chimney pipe is the longest. This is 35 metres. This 35 metres is the sum of pipe sections 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The length of the transition piece can be ignored. The total number of bends used in the flue gas discharge and air supply is 8. The bend in the transition piece can be ignored. According to the table, 2.4 metres per bend must be added. This brings the total pipe length to:

(2.4 x 8) + 35 = 19.2 + 35 = 54.2m.

This is less than the maximum length of 60 metres stated in the table. The installation therefore fulfils the requirements.

Warning

The installation should be carried out by an authorised installation engineer, in compliance with general and local regulations (1.3 "Regulations").
