Flue Options

1. The Promax Store can be fitted with flue
systems as illustrated.

2. The standard flue kit, Part No. 5118489
comprises a concentric 100/60 terminal and a
93° bend. It is suitable only for horizontal
termination applications.

3. Maximum permissible equivalent flue
lengths are:-

Horizontal Concentric

10 metres

Vertical Concentric

10 metres

Vertical Twin Pipe

15 metres

4. Any additional “in line” bends in the flue
system must be taken into consideration.
Their equivalent lengths are:-

Concentric Pipes:

45° bend

0.5 metres

93° bend

1.0 metres

Twin Flue Pipe

45° bend

0.25 metres

91.5° bend

0.50 metres

The elbow attached to the boiler is not
included in any equivalent length calculations

5. The illustrations opposite show examples of
permissible flue systems.

NOTE: Flue length is measured from point
X to Y as shown.

IMPORTANT:

All flue systems must be

securely supported at least once every
metre. Suitable pipe supports are available
as accessories.

Horizontal
Flues

Plume Displacement Kit 60 /100 Ø

1M Extensions, 45° & 93° bends are

also available

NOTE:

Horizontal flue pipes should always be installed with at least a

1.5° fall from the terminal to allow condensate to run back to the boiler.

This bend is equivalent to
1 metre

Total equivalent length
(upto 10m) =

A+B+C+2x90°Bends

This bend is equivalent
to 1 metre
