Examples of flue pipes
Square or rectangular section flue pipes must have rounded internal
corners with radius not less than 20mm. For the rectangular section,
the ratio between internal dimensions must be
≤
1.5.
The sections/lengths of the flue pipe shown in the technical data table
are guidelines for correct installation. Any alternative configurations
must be suitably sized in accordance with EN13384-1.
The smoke duct should be equipped with a solid material collection
chamber at the mouth of the smoke duct to be easily opened with an
airtight door.
IMPORTANT !
In the event of doubt on your chimney flue operations or
that its dimensions are different from those recommended,
we highly suggest an authorised MCZ technician inspect and
measure chimney flue performance (micro-gauge
measurements)
