*   All Cyclone BFC are also approved for installations where the unit is supplied 
  without venting materials (C63).

Concentric flues

It is 

not

 permitted to use more than the specified number of 

bends, even when the duct is shorter than the maximum 
length. A 45° bend is equivalent to a 90° bend.

Parallel flues

-  The maximum permissible length should be reduced by the 
  equivalent length of each bend. (Note: for a parallel installation 
  this means that 3 changes in direction amount to 6 bends 
  (3 in the supply duct and 3 in the flue). 
-   The maximum length also applies if a parallel installation has 
  different supply and flue duct lengths (B23, C53).
-   Combined flues (C43) shall be fitted with a condensate drain. 

Note: horizontal flue runs must be installed with a fall of at least 
5 mm per metre.
