Installation

Fig 5.
Common flues may be used on multiple installations only if all
the heaters are of the same burner system and fuel type and
should be sized to ensure complete evacuation of the flue
products from the installation.
Where one flue is to be used more regularly or for longer
periods than the others in the group, it should be connected at
the point nearest to the main flue.
Fit a flue clip or flange joint close to the diverter so that it is
secure but can be disconnected for servicing. The weight of the
flue must be borne by securing clips, etc. and not by the heater.
