rectangle – short axis equals outer casing diameter 

plus 50mm, long axis as required. See Tested Flue 

System on page 14 and Un-Tested Flue System on 

page 15. Perform the same at the roof penetration.

4.

If using an outer/inner casing combination, now install 

the inner casing ensuring it extends a minimum 200mm 

above the high side of the roof penetration. If not using 

a combination see ‘11’ below.
