(i)
Horizontal
Flues
1.The standard flue is suitable only for horizontal termination applications.
| 2. All fittings should be fully engaged. The approximate | |
(ii) | engagement is 40mm. Apply soap solution to the seal on | |
each fitting to aid assembly. | ||
|
3.Maximum permissible equivalent flue lengths are:-
(60/100) (80/125)
Horizontal Concentric 10 metres | 20 metres |
4.Any additional “in line” bends in the flue system must be taken into consideration.
Their equivalent lengths are:- Concentric Pipes:
135° bend | 0.5 metres |
93° bend | 1.0 metres |
Twin Flue Pipe |
|
135° bend | 0.25 metres |
91.5° bend | 0.50 metres |
4.The elbow connected to the boiler adaptor is not included in any equivalent length calculations.
5.The illustrations opposite show examples of permissible flue systems.
NOTE: Flue length is measured from point (i) to (ii) as shown.
IMPORTANT: All flue systems must be securely supported at least once every metre. Suitable pipe supports are available as accessories.
NOTE: Horizontal flue pipes should always be installed with a fall of at least 1.5° from the terminal to allow condensate to run back to the boiler.
