Connecting the chimney flue to the flue connector
Metal chimney flue
Connection to the insulated metal flue must be carried out using the fitting supplied by
the manufacturer of the insulated flue.
The socketing between the chimney flue and the flue connector must be at least
40mm.
Chimney flue made from concrete or terracotta
In the case of a false ceiling, the flue must overshoot a chimney liner in the hood.
We recommend that you use the specially designed fitting to carry out the
connection.
Variation of cross-section
If there is a difference in cross-section between the chimney flue and the flue connector, the junction can
only be created via a shaped component, preventing a sudden variation in section.
The upper part of this reducer must be located:
- In the hood,
less than 10cm under the hood’s false ceiling
Or
- In the space of
the hood’s false ceiling
Or
- Less than 10 cm under the junction to the chimney flue if there is no hood false ceiling
