CONNECTION TO THE FLUE
The connection to the flue (exhaust channel or pipe fitting) must be made using rigid pipes in aluminium plated steel
with minimum thickness of 2 mm or in 316 stainless steel with minimum thickness of 1 mm.
It is prohibited to use flexible metal pipes or asbestos cement pipes because they are subject to splitting or
breakage, which can lead to fume leakage, jeopardising the safety of the connection itself.
The diameter of opening for the connection to the connection of chimney must correspond to the smoke pipe diameter
at least. The opening should have a connection to the wall to put inside the outlet pipe and a rose window.
