Connection to the flue pipe
The flue pipe must have internal dimensions not
larger than 20x20 cm, or diameter 20 cm. In the
event of larger dimensions, or of the flue pipe
being in poor condition ( for example cracks, poor
insulation, etc.), it is advisable to fit a stainless
steel pipe of suitable diameter inside the flue pipe
throughout its length, right up to the top.
Check with suitable instruments that the draught
is as shown in the table. This type of connection
ensures the evacuation of the fumes even in the
event of a temporary power cut.
At the bottom of the flue pipe, provide an
inspection cap to allow periodic checking and
cleaning, which must be done annually. Make a
gas-tight connection to the flue pipe, using pipes
and connectors as recommended by us.
You must ensure that a windproof cowl should be
fitted which complies with the standards in force
Connection to an external flue with
insulated or double-wall pipe
The only type of pipe which is permissible is
insulated (double-walled) stainless steel, smooth
on the inside, fixed to the wall. Flexible stainless
steel pipe must not be used. At the bottom of
the flue pipe, provide an inspection cap to allow
periodic checking and cleaning, which must be
done annually. Make a gas-tight connection to
the flue pipe, using pipes and connectors as
recommended by us. You must ensure that a
windproof cowl should be fitted which complies
with the standards in force.
Check with suitable instruments that the draught is
as shown in the table.
Connection to the flue pipe
For proper functioning, the connecting pipe
between the Hydro Insert and the chimney or
flue duct must have a slope of not less than 3%
in the horizontal stretches, the length of which
must not exceed 2 metres and the vertical distance
between one tee connector and another (change
of direction) must not be less than 1,5 m.
Check with suitable instruments that the draught is
as shown in the table. At the botton of the flue
pipe, provide an inspection cap to allow periodic
checking and cleaning, which must be done
annually. Make a gas-tight connection to the flue
8
pipe, using pipes and connectors as recommended
by us. You must ensure that a windproof cowl
should be fitted which complies with the standards
in force.
