Concentric

The maximum equivalent lengths are 4m (vertical). Their lengths exclude the standard elbow and terminal assembly (vertical).

Twin Flue

The total maximum equivalent flue length is 150m. NOTE: Each 1m of flue duct should be calculated as 2m.

Any additional “in line” bends in the flue system must be taken into consideration. Their equivalent lengths are:

Concentric Pipes:

135° bend

0.5 m

 

93° bend

1.0 m

Twin Flue Pipe:

135° bend (air duct)

1.3 m

 

135° bend (flue duct)

2.6 m

 

90° bend (air duct)

4.8 m

 

90° bend (flue duct)

9.6 m

IMPORTANT: All flue systems must be securely supported at least once every metre. Suitable pipe supports are available as accessories.

Vertical Flue System Examples

Total Equivalent Length =

A+B+C+1x90°Bend

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
