Installing smoke channels and supplying fresh air for combustion (Pictures 9 and 10):
To connect the water boiler to the chimney, special smoke pipes certified for this
purpose have to be used. Materials used to make these pipes are structural and
stainless steel.
The diameter of the smoke pipe has to correspond to the diameter of a chimney on the
external end and that is 100mm. This diameter mustn't be reduced.
The smoke pipe mustn't be used for more devices simultaneously.
During the installation of the smoke pipe, no more than two turns at a 90-degree angle
are allowed. The maximum length of horizontal sections is 2m.
If the smoke pipe is in the proximity of flammable materials or goes through them
(decorative wall layer), it is necessary to isolate it.
Smoke pipes and elements intended to be connected to the water boiler usually have
silicone O-rings on the connecting end. It is necessary to check this and, in case that
there aren't any, use silicone or any other refractory kit to seal it.
The smoke pipe has to be able to be disassembled to check how dirty it is or there has
to be an inspection hole.
If the smoke pipe doesn't go directly into a chimney but vertically up, it is necessary
to install the condensation drain T-piece.
The air for combustion has to be supplied from the outside and, for that purpose, use
the pipe made of black or inox steel. The smallest allowed diameter of this pipe is
50mm.
Unless it’s possible to supply air directly from the outside, the supply from the room
directly in contact with the environment must be provided. The connection of such
space with the environment must be such that it isn’t possible to accidentally stop the
air supply (by closing doors, windows, etc.)
Connecting to the chimney (Pictures 9 i 10)
During the installation of the chimney, we differentiate two situations:
Situation 1:
The boiler is connected to the standard chimney (built or metal) which
has its foundation and a full cross-section from the slab foundation to the top.
Situation 2:
The boiler is connected to the assembled metal chimney attached to the
façade.
Situation 1:
As the chimney, use ceramic or metal pipes of a circular-shaped cross-section of the
minimal diameter of 130mm. The smoke pipe must be isolated by any means.
If the chimney already exists and it has a square-shaped cross-section, the minimal
dimension of that cross-section is 130x130mm.
It isn’t allowed to use the chimney to connect multiple devices.
It isn’t allowed to use ventilation holes as the chimney.
