Flue Installation

IMPORTANT

The flue seals are sensitive to mineral oil based lubricants.

not grease the seals

. If the seals do need to be lubricated

use

only water

During the installation of the flue system, ensure that debris

such as mortar, filings or swarf are cleared from the flue

system before completion.

Long lengths of flues must be secured to the walls or ceilings

they run against. Use at least one fixing bracket for every flue

extension that is used.

After cutting inner flue tubes ensure that you de-burr and

chamfer the male tube end to prevent damage.

Inspect the flue pipes before fitting and do not install damaged

or dented flue components.

When assembling the flue system, ensure that the inner

seals are not damaged, do not install a flue component with a

damaged seal.

When fitting flue elbows ensure that they are fitted at the

correct angle to avoid strain, this will ensure that the seal fits

correctly preventing leakage.

Remove the top flue outlet cover complete with resonator and

discard, see diagram 10.4.

Refer to diagram 10.25 and secure the flue adapter in position

on top of the boiler with four screws supplied, making sure

the nib fits into the locating slot in the boiler casing to ensure

correct orientation.

Secure the first extension pipe to the flue adapter with the

securing collar supplied by positioning the collar centrally over

the joint, then tighten the two screws on the securing collar,

see diagram 10.26.

Fit more extension pipes as required using the collar and

screws supplied with each extension pipe. To fit position the

collar centrally over the joint, tighten the two screws on the

securing collar. Using the holes provided in the securing

collar drill and insert the two self tapping srews supplied, see

diagram 10.27.

The rubber ‘O’ rings of each section should be lubricated prior

to assembly.

Project the rise of the flue pipe to roof level and cut a 150mm

hole in the roof.

Flue Terminal Installation

(a) Pitched Roof

Fit the required pitched roof weather collar over the 150mm

hole in the roof. Make good the tiling or slating around the

collar incorporating the flashing of the weather collar. Position

the angle cap over the weather collar in the correct orientation

to attain the correct angle for your roof.

(b) Flat Roof

Fit the aluminium weather collar over the 150mm hole in the

roof ensuring a weather tight seal.

From above carefully place the flue terminal through the

weather collar.

Flue Terminal to Boiler Connection

Should the clearances above the boiler to roof not allow for

extensions, it is permitted to cut the flue terminal ensuring the

relationship of flue and air duct lengths are retained.

Ridge Tile Terminal

A ridge tile terminal is available - part no. A2043800, see

diagram 10.24.
The installation of a ridge tile will be required.

A suitable ridge tile is manufactured by: -
