4.3 Chimney, flue gas pipe
- The chimney must be resistant to humidity.
- For trouble-free operation of the boiler, it is essential that the chimney is configured correctly.
- This is done by your local chimney sweep.
- The boiler tube to the chimney must be mounted vertically.
- The pipe length must not exceed 1/3 of the effective chimney height, subtracting 0.5 m in height for each
45°bend and 1 m for each 90° bend.
- The flue pipe connection must be of leak-tight design (weld the pipes or use heat-resistant silicone), as must
the point at which it enters the chimney.
- A cleaning aperture must be provided in each pipe bend.
- The distance between the smoke pipe and the ID fan motor must be at least 15 cm (to allow cooling).
- The chimney must be commissioned and appropriate for the boiler output.
- The chimney draught must be at least 0.05 and at most 0.10 mbar (5
– 10 Pa).
- A draught stabiliser must be installed to ensure an even chimney draught.
- The draught stabiliser should be installed as close as possible to the boiler.
- We also recommend the installation of a pressure relief flap in the flue pipe. This flap is also available in com-
bination with a draught stabiliser. Contact your local authorities to find out whether such a flap is mandatory in
your region.
- It is also advisable to insulate the flue pipe between the boiler and the chimney and in the cold area (e.g. at-
tic).
The flue system must be approved by the building authorities, insensitive to moisture (design type 1 DIN 4705
Part 2) and have a thermal resistance of at least 0.65 mK/W (Group I as per DIN 18160 T1).
