All vertical and angled runs must be included,
measured from the boiler adaptor (point X) to the
joint with the flue terminal (point Y). One 91.5°
bend or two 135° bends can be included without
reduction of the flue length.
If further elbows are required the flue length must
be reduced by the following amounts:-
1 metre for each 91.5° bend
0.5 metre for each 135° bend
8.2 Twin & Vertical Flue Systems
1. Maximum permissible equivalent flue lengths are:-
(60/100) (80/125)
Vertical Concentric 10 metres 20 metres
Vertical Twin Pipe 15 metres
2. Any additional “in line” bends in the flue system must be
taken into consideration.
Their equivalent lengths are:-
Concentric Pipes:
135° bend 0.5 metres
93° bend 1.0 metres
Twin Flue Pipe
135° bend 0.25 metres
91.5° bend 0.50 metres
The elbow supplied with the standard horizontal telescopic
flue kit is not included in any equivalent length calculations
NOTE: Flue length is measured from point (i) to (ii) as
shown.
IMPORTANT: All flue systems must be securely
supported at least once every metre. Suitable
pipe supports are available as accessories.
