Flue connector
The appliance shall be connected to the chimney flue with standard metal
pipes.
The flue connector must not penetrate or cross any room other than the
one in which the appliance is installed.
Totem recommends a rigid connection. Totem does not recommend a
direct flexible connection.
Create a rigid section which abuts the damper metal plate then switch to a
flexible connection after installing a double lipped sleeve allowing
discharge of condensate.
The flue connector or any covering surrounding it must be accessible and
visible over its entire length either directly or by an inspection panel or
inspection grille.
Bending
The flue connector must include no more than two bends (not more than one non-
vertical section).
The angles must be no more than 45° for smooth flues, otherwise 20°.
Junction of the flue connector on the appliance
The flue connector is connected by means of a double lipped sleeve (not
supplied) to the smoke damper trap of the appliance. In the case of a metal
flue, the junction between the elements cannot be created in the thickness of
the floor.
