5.4.3.3 Seals
The connection between the different flue elements must
be made airtight and waterproof with silicon seals.
CAUTION! If the flue elements have been cut, make sure
to clean and chamfer the edges. Sharp edges will damage
the seals.
CAUTION! Do not drill or screw in the flue elements.
CAUTION! Do not try to seal the connections with kit,
foam or tape.
CAUTION! Do not use grease, vaseline or oil to lubricate
the installation.
CAUTION! Only use the lubricant allowed by the
manufacturer to lubricate the connections. A maximum
soap concentration of 1% is allowed.
NOTICE Follow the instructions from the manufacturer if
the connections need to be fixed.
5.4.3.4 Installation
Take note of the following rules and requirements when
installing a flue system:
CAUTION! Do not apply mechanical force on the parts
during installation.
Requirements for horizontal and non-vertical piping:
• Maximum distance between brackets of 1 m.
• On tensile joints; maximum distance between
brackets of 2 m.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Spread the brackets evenly along the piping.
Requirements for vertical piping:
• Maximum distance between brackets of 2 m.
• Spread the brackets evenly along the piping.
Always place a bracket on or near a bend or elbow piece,
except if the flue pipes before and after the elbow piece
are shorter than 0,25 m. In this case, fix the second
element after the elbow with a bracket.
Every flue discharge system needs to be secured with at
least one bracket. The first bracket needs to be within the
first 0,5 m of the air heater.
When installing a flue system inside a shaft, do the
following:
1. Check the components for possible damage or
blockage.
2. Check that the pipe is at the right slope (see
Requirements).
3. Mark the flue pipes and fresh air pipes to avoid
mixing them up.
4. Make sure that the pipes extend for at least 50 mm
when passing through a wall or other obstacle.
5. Fix the last element before entering the shaft in
place. If the last element is an elbow piece, the
next element must also be fixed in place.
6. Check if ventilation openings and inspection
hatches comply with national and local regulations.
