Connection with 80 mm pipe system

The unit can be connected to a system of separate air/flue 
pipes for a Horizontal or Vertical outlet as shown  fig 18 - 19 
. Numerous accessories are available on request to meet 
the various installation requirements. The components 
used most frequently are stated in tables 4 - 5. Please 
refer to the flue manual  or the price list for additional 
components.
To check you do not exceed the maximum permissible 
flue length, it is necessary to make a simple calculation 
before installation: 

1. For each component, tables 4 - 5 provide an “equiva-

lent  loss in linear metres”, depending on the position 
of installation of the component (with air intake or flue 
extraction, vertical or horizontal).

   The loss is called “equivalent length” since it is compared 

to the loss of one metre of  flue (defined as equal to 1). 
For example, a bend at 90° of Ø80 in flue extraction has 
an equivalent loss of 2 linear metres, i.e. it has a loss 
equal to that of 2 linear metres of flue length.

2.  After completely defining the layout of the system of split 

flues, add up the losses in equivalent metres, depending 
on the installation position, of all the components and 
accessories in the system.

3. Check that the total calculated loss is less than or equal 

to 

55

 equivalent 

metres

, i.e. the maximum permissible 

for this model of boiler.

For complete flue options please contact ferroli or 
check our comprehensive flue manual.
