Installation manual flue pipe for ecoCRAFT 0020058722_03

Caution!

Risk of corrosion in the flue gas installation!
The combustion air fed to the unit must be free
of chemicals which contain, e.g. fluorine, chlo-
rine or sulphur. Sprays, release or cleaning
agents, paints and adhesives can contain such
materials which can, in certain circumstances,
lead to corrosion when operating the unit, in-
cluding the exhaust gas installation. The ex-
haust ducting may only be installed using the
corresponding parts from Vaillant.

Caution!

Electronic damage and danger of fire by
lightning strike!
If the building is equipped with a lightning con-
ductor system, the flue pipes must be incorpo-
rated in the lightning protection system. The
vertical ducting must be incorporated in the po-
tential balancing system if it contains metallic
components.

Caution!

Malfunction of the unit by obstruction of the
flue gas flow!
Make sure that, during the installation process,
no swarf, mortar remnants etc. are left in the
flue pipes.

Caution!

Malfunctions and water condensate escape as a
result of leaks in the exhaust gas route!
The gaskets are sensitive to mineral oil based
greases. They must therefore not be greased.
Only use water to facilitate the assembly, if re-
quired.

Caution!

Danger of fire!
Outside the ducting, the exhaust pipe must be
at least 5 cm away from combustible building
components.
