from obstructions. Failure to do so may
lead to the guarantee on the liner being
invalidated if damage has occurred
due to snagging on an obstruction. The
flue liner should be pulled down the
chimney using a nose cone and string/
rope.
Care must be taken to avoid
overbending or kinking of the liner
during installation. The minimum bend
radius for the liner is 375mm.
Orientation
It is essential that the flexible flue liner
is installed the right way up. The arrow
on the outside of the liner indicated the
direction of the flue gas flow and must
be pointing upwards, i.e. towards the
terminal.
Cutting the Liner
Extreme care must be taken when
cutting the liner, Strong industrial gloves
and long sleeved overalls should be
worn as the cut edges are very sharp.
Any tape on the ends of the liner,
provided for safe handling prior to
installation, must be removed before
connecting the flue liner.
In addition to the liner, the Flexible Flue
Liner Kit also contains the following
components:
Anchor Plate (product code:
WPB/AP)
This is located on the top of the
chimney with the male collar on the
top and the spigot below the plate. Fit
the flexible liner onto the spigot. Seal
with high temperature mastic sealant
and secure in place with self-tapping
screws.
The plate should then be bolted to the
chimney and sealed using Fire cement.
Flex flue adaptor (product code:
WPB/CA)
This is located at the bottom end of the
flexible flue liner, where it connects to
the rigid twin-wall flue section of the flue
system. The adaptor is fitted vertically
with the socket uppermost. The flexible
liner is pushed fully into this socket,
sealed with high temperature mastic
and secured with self-tapping screws.
Roof Cowl (product code: WPB/RC)
The Rain Cap type terminal is fitted
either directly to the Anchor Plate on
the top of the chimney or, if necessary
(i.e. to achieve the required distance
between the terminal and the roof
surface), to a length of flue that is, in
turn, connected to the Anchor Plate.
Fit the Terminal to either the Anchor
Plate or flue extension and twist through
1/6 of a turn to lock in place. Ensure
that the locking band (supplied with the
terminal) is correctly fitted to secure the
terminal in place. Refer to Section 7.4.2
for further details on connecting the flue
components.
7.5 Flue Testing
Once installed, the flue system
should be tested in accordance with
the requirements of The Building
Regulations Approved Document J,
Appendix E, Section E13 – Smoke Test
I.
7.6 Flue Notice Plate
The Building Regulations Approved
Document J requires a notice plate that
conveys essential information regarding
the flue installed to be permanently
displayed. A suitable self-adhesive
notice plate is supplied with the Grant
‘Biomass’ flue system and this must
be completed by the installer and
displayed in an unobtrusive but obvious
position within the building concerned,
e.g. next to the flue system/boiler.
7.7 Carbon Monoxide Alarm
The Building Regulations Approved
Document J requires a Carbon
Monoxide alarm to be fitted in the room
where the boiler is located.
This should be positioned between
1 and 3m horizontally from the boiler
either:
•
On the ceiling at least 300mm from
any wall, or
•
On a wall as high up as possible
(above any windows or doors) at
least 150mm from ceiling.
7.4.9 Flexible Flue Liner Kit
A 125mm diameter twin skin stainless
steel flexible flue liner is available to line
a masonry chimney, if required. Both
inner and outer layers are made from
corrosion resistant 316L stainless steel.
The outer is corrugated for high crush
resistance and the inner is smooth to
allow easy drain down of condensate,
less opportunity for deposits to collect
and ease of sweeping.
The CE designation for this flexible flue
liner (to BS EN 1856-2) is:
T600 N1 W V2 L50012 G
This flexible flue liner must be installed
as one continuous length with NO
joints.
The liner is supplied in three standard
lengths of 6m, 8m and 10m as part of a
Flexible Flue Liner kit, as follows:
Grant product
code
Liner
length
WPKIT6/125
6 m
WPKIT8/125
8 m
WPKIT10/125
10 m
Prior to Installation
In all cases the chimney should be
inspected for deterioration and, if
necessary, and remedial work required
should be carried out. The chimney
should be swept, preferably by a
member of the National Association of
Chimney Sweeps (NACS) or a suitably
qualified chimney sweep who would
provide a certificate after sweeping and
checking, which should be retained for
future reference.
The flaunching at the top of the stack
should be checked to ensure it is not
cracked and if so it must be replaced.
The brickwork pointing and flashings
should be checked to ensure they
are in good order and corrected as
necessary. This is required to prevent
the ingress of rainwater which, if mixed
with the carbon deposits on the inside
wall of the chimney, could damage the
flue liner and the fabric of the building.
Installation
Prior to installation of the flexible liner,
it is recommended that a test length
(approximately 1.5m long), with a nose
cone attached to each end, is pulled
through the chimney to ensure that
the chimney is suitably sized and free
