Flues
8.1
Conventional Flues
The flue should be designed in
accordance with the local bye-laws
and the Clean Air Act. Draught
stabilisers are not recommended
for oil fired boilers. Sharp bends or
horizontal runs should be avoided
and the flue should terminate 2 feet
(600mm) above the ridge of the
dwelling. Terminals which restrict
the discharge or allow ingress of
water should be avoided.
It is recommenced that when
connecting to an existing masonry
chimney a flexible stainless steel
liner should be used. The annular
space must be sealed top and
bottom and loosely filled with
insulation.
8.2
Low Level Balanced Flues/Kabin Pak Flues
Attention should be given to the position of the flue discharge; we recommend the
following guidelines be adopted.
1.
The flue should not discharge beneath opening windows or within 2 metres of other
accesses to the building.
2.
The flue should not discharge near internal/external corners of the building where
turbulent wind conditions could occur.
3.
The terminal should not discharge over property boundaries.
4.
Discharge into narrow passageways should be avoided.
5.
In positioning the flue the wind direction should be considered.
6.
The actual siting of the flue should be determined by the installer after consultation
with the householder.
INSTALLATION IN EXPOSED POSITIONS IS NOT RECOMMENDED
