Vertical Balanced Flue Kit (2360)
Before commencing assembly, please make sure that you have correctly identified the placement of each pipe section and
that all ‘O’ ring seals are in position and well-lubricated. Any white pipe exposed to the elements should be protected with
a suitable material. Place all weld seams to the rear.
ASSEMBLY METHOD
The flue can either be assembled on the ground before attaching to
the boiler, or piece-by-piece in situ. If the former, ensure that all
clamping straps (
items 11
&
12
,
fig 26
) are loosely in position over
the flue joints. If the latter, ensure that none of the flue joints are
situated within the joist space.
The total flue length required should be determined before
assembly. If necessary, discard the mid-sections (
item 7
), as their
use is not essential. See
fig 27
for details of different flue lengths.
1. Secure the boiler in position and cut a hole 175mm diameter in
the ceiling and roof. Ensure the flue will have a minimum
clearance of 25mm from any combustible material.
2. Ensure all 'O'-ring seals (
item 5
) are in position on all sections
of pipe. Apply a thin bead of lubricant around each 'O'-ring.
3. Fit the first flue mid-section (
item 7
) to the spigot situated on
top of the boiler, ensuring the 'O'-ring creates a good seal and
pushing firmly down until the outer sections meet. Use the
clamping strap (
item 11
) to fasten these items securely
together. Fit the second flue mid-section (also
item 7
), and the
third flue section (
item 8
) to the previous sections in the same
manner.
Note:
both instances of
item 7
can be discarded if they are not
required. Of the main flue sections, only the use of
items 8
is
mandatory. Fit these together in the manner described above.
4. The first terminal section (
item 9
) fits over the preceding
section of flue without the use of the clamping strap, and in
order to achieve a more accurate fit distance is telescopic
in nature. Once the length has been set, drill through the
outer pipe and secure with self-tapping screws.
5. If necessary, fit the terminal (
item 10
) to the terminal lower
section before it is attached to the last main flue section.
Push firmly down until the outer sections meet and use the
stainless steel clamping strap (
item 12
) to fasten these
securely together.
6. Fit the ceiling plates (
item 13
) centrally over the inner hole,
ensuring the outer flue pipe has a minimum clearance of
25mm from any combustible material. Pack the space with
glass fibre insulation.
7. Secure the flue to the roof space and fit waterproof flashing
(not supplied) around the flue at the roof line.
8. Use the clip provided to secure the air hose from the burner
to the connection on the air box assembly inside the boiler
ADDITIONAL FLUE HEIGHTS & ELBOWS
Should the maximum height of the flue not meet your
requirements, additional sections of flue pipe can be
purchased to extend the vertical distance. See
page 29
for
details.
45º elbows can be purchased to offset the flue to keep clear of
any permanent obstructions. See
page 29
for details. 90º
elbows
cannot
be used with this flue.
IMPORTANT:
The total flue distance, vertical and horizontal,
must not
exceed 6000mm. Any 45º elbows used in the
assembly contribute 500mm to the calculation.
