Flue gas installation
7.1
Preparing for installation
a
Danger!
Risk of personal injury and material dam-
age due to unapproved flue pipes.
Vaillant boilers are certified only with genu-
ine Vaillant flue pipes. The use of other
accessories may cause personal injury and
material damage as well as operating faults.
>
Only use genuine Vaillant flue pipes.
i
You will find a list of genuine flue pipes in the
Vaillant installation instructions for flue pipes.
All ecoTEC plus boilers feature an 110/160 mm diameter air/
flue gas connection as standard. Selecting the most suita-
ble system depends on the individual installation and appli-
cation conditions.
>
When installing the flue pipe, observe the provisions of
the applicable national regulations.
>
Agree the flue pipe with your chimney sweep.
>
Lay the flue pipe with a downward gradient so that any
escaping condensate can easily flow into the drain
(siphon) provided for it without leaving any backwater
residues.
7.2
Installing the flue pipe
>
Install the flue pipe using the enclosed installation
instructions.
7.1
Installation example: Vertical roof duct
7.3
Flue gas guiding opening
The following information applies to all flue pipe systems.
a.
The terminal must be positioned so that the products
of combustion can disperse freely at all times.
b.
Water vapour will sometimes be visible from the ter-
minal of the flue gas system. Fitting locations where
this could be a nuisance should be avoided.
c.
If the terminal is installed less than 2 m above a bal-
cony, above ground or above a flat roof to which peo-
ple have access, a suitable terminal guard must then
be provided and fitted (contact Tower Flue Compo-
nents, Tonbridge, TN9 1TB).
i
Vertical flues must not terminate within 600 mm
of an openable window, air vent or any other
ventilation opening.
The flue gas system must be attached or shielded in such a
way that ignition (causing fire) or damage to any part of the
building is avoided.
