You must use the longest pipe when calculating the pipe length. For example, if the chimney pipe is 35 metres and the air supply pipe is 32 metres, use 35 metres as the length for the calculation. Next, add the L equivalent for every 90° and 45° bend to this 35 metres, in both the air supply and chimney flue. The following practical example illustrates how to use the table.

Example
The figure shows a SGE 60 installation. This has to be fitted with a 25 m parallel pipe of 100 mm diameter, and eight 90 degree bends. The configuration must be checked for compliance with the requirements stated in the table.

The longest pipe must be used to check the maximum length. In this case, the chimney pipe is the longest. This is 25 metres. This 25 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 chimney flue and air supply is 8. The bend in the transition piece can be ignored. According to the table, 4.6 metres per bend must be added. This brings the total pipe length to:
(2.4 x 8) + 25 = 19.2 + 25 = 44.2 m.
This is less than the maximum length of 800 metres stated in the table. The installation therefore fulfils the requirements.
