SPECIFYING THE FLUE SYSTEM & ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS
This product comes with the optional of 3 methods of flueing :-
Decide upon the method of flue that is most suitable for the property in which you
are installing the product, from the following options :-
2.5.1
Balanced Flue in Horizontal Configuration
This flueing method uses a 0.5 metre vertical pipe starter pipe section, then
utilises a 90 degree elbow and a terminal section to provide a horizontal pipe from
324mm (minimum) up to 469mm (maximum). Additional flue duct can then be
purchased to allow installation up to a maximum wall thickness of 1554mm. The
flue can be installed to terminate directly out the wall behind the appliance or at
the L/H side or R/H side by rotating the elbow section. If the terminal is fitted
below 2m from ground level, a terminal guard must be fitted in England & Wales.
The manufacturer supplies a suitable guard in the Horizontal Flue Kit. See section
2.6
2.5.2
Balanced Flue in Vertical Configuration
This flueing method utilses a rigid interlocking balanced flue duct to enable a
vertical balanced flue system to be used. All components required are supplied
within the flue kit with the exception of the lengths of co-axial pipe which is
dependent upon the individual installation. This method is most suited when a
false chimney breast is being constructed due to no chimney / insufficient depth
and an outside wall is not available. See section 2.7
2.5.3
Balanced Flue Utilising Existing Chimney
This flueing method uses a 4” / 100mm flexible flue liner fitted into an existing
chimney breast, with a specially designed flue termination fitted to the top of the
chimney. All components required are supplied within the flue kit with the
exception of the 4” / 100mm flexible flue liner, which is dependent upon the
individual installation. Please ensure any flexible flue liner used is rated to T400.
This method is most suited when an existing chimney breast is available that is in
good condition and has sufficient depth to accept the product. See section 2.10
