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 there is a
draught as indicated 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 there is a draught as
indicated in the table.
Connection to the flue pipe
For proper functioning, the connecting pipe
between the Boiler 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 there is a draught as indicated 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 pipe, using pipes
and connectors as recommended by us.
