4.3 FLUE SYSTEM - Figs. 4.1, 4.2
The flue system must be installed in accordance with BS 5440:1.
When using a horizontal flue kit ensure that the flue outer duct is installed horizontally (please note that the flue
inner duct already has a pre-determined slope towards the boiler for condensate to run back towards the boiler).
When additional flue extensions are used, ensure the flue slopes downwards towards the boiler by a minimum of 25 - 30 mm
per metre of flue.
Horizontal and vertical flue assemblies should be supported every metre with access provided to the joints.
All joints between flue sections should be connected using the clamps provided. It is not required to add additional screws
through the clamps and into the flue sections.
