Concentric Pipes:
135° bend
0.5 metres

This bend is equivalent to
1 metre
Total Equivalent Length =
A+B+C+1x90°Bend
All vertical and angled runs must be included,
measured from the boiler adaptor (point i) to the
joint with the flue terminal (point ii). One 91.5°
bend or two 135° bends can be included without
reduction of the flue length.
If further elbows are required the flue length must
be reduced by the following amounts:-
1 metre for each 91.5° bend
0.5 metre for each 135° bend
IMPORTANT:
All flue systems must be securely
supported at least once every metre. Suitable pipe
supports are available as accessories.
