Flue Dimensions

The standard horizontal flue kit allows for flue lengths

between 100mm and 685mm from elbow to terminal

(Fig. 14).

The maximum permissible equivalent flue length

is: 4

metres.

NOTE:

Each additional 45° of flue bend will

account for an equivalent flue length of 0.5m.

eg. 45° = 0.5m, 90° = 2 x 45° = 1m etc.

7.9

Flue Trim

1. The rubber flue trim supplied may be fitted to either

the outside wall or on the inner wall of installation.

7.10

Terminal Guard

(Fig. 15)

1. When codes of practice dictate the use of terminal

guards, they can be obtained from most Plumbers’

and Builders’ Merchants.

2. There must be a clearance of at least 50mm

between any part of the terminal and the guard.

3. When ordering a terminal guard, quote the

appliance name and model number.

3. The flue terminal guard should be positioned

centrally over the terminal and fixed as illustrated.
