The maximum distance between supports is

1.5m for horizontal runs.

Wall bands are not load bearing and give lateral

support only. If used, wall bands should be fitted

every 3m on vertical runs to ensure the system

is rigidly held. The system should be braced

immediately below passing through the roof line

to ensure the flashing does not suffer lateral

pressures.

The maximum height unsupported above the

roof line is 1.5m. Where a joint is above the

roofline it should be determined that in extreme

wind conditions this joint would not be over

exerted. If there is any doubt then a guy wire

should be used. Beyond this guy wires should

be installed every meter.

The POCED is capable of withstanding its own

weight when installed in accordance with these

instructions and the Regulations shown below.

The exhaust flue should be adequately

supported from the building structure and

installed in accordance with the British

Standard Code of Practice BS 5440: Part 1 –

Installation and maintenance of flues and

ventilation for gas appliances of rated input not

exceeding 70kW net (1st, 2nd and 3rd family

gases), and the flue system manufacturers

instructions as supplied with the flue. See

reference BS 6896. Condensate drain pipes

must be protected against the effects of

freezing.

1.10.3 Condensation

When designing the flue system the prevention

of the formation and entrapment of

condensation must be a key consideration.

Horizontal flue should be fitted ensuring a slight

gradient approx 5

towards the terminal. Where

condensation is unavoidable traps should be

included to encourage the condensates to flow

freely to a point from which they may be

released, preferably into a gully. The

condensate pipe from the flue to the disposal

point must be made from corrosion resistant

pipe of not less than 25mm internal diameter.

1.10.4 Method of Jointing Tube

1.10.4.1 Option 1 and 3

All pipe lengths and flue gas carrying

components are joined together by a twist lock,

bayonet system. The system should be installed

with the visible male collar pointing upwards,

this is reaffirmed by the directional arrow

pointing upwards, indicating the directional flow

of flue gases. Taping of the joints is

unnecessary.

1.10.4.2 Option 2 Tailpipe

After allowing for a minimum of 75mm (3in) of

penetration of the fitting into the tube, cut the

tubes to the lengths required and remove all

burrs and wipe off any grease or oil with a clean

rag.

The components are joined by pushing the male

spigot and female socket together until the stop

is reached.

To seal use an applicator gun and apply a 4mm

diameter bead of high temperature silicon

jointing compound externally round the end of

the male spigot and internally round the end of

the female socket.

Push the male spigot into the female socket

using a slight rotating movement to spread the

jointing compound uniformly until a penetration

of 75mm (3in) is achieved.

Note The silicon jointing compound remains

workable after application for only 5 minutes

Secure the joint by drilling through the tube and

fitting and fix with three pop rivets at 12 o’clock,

4 o’clock and 8 o’clock positions. 4.8mm

(3/16in) diameter pop rivets are recommended.

1.10.4.3 Option 5

The components are joined by pushing the male

spigot and female socket together until the stop

is reached. No sealant is required, but can be

applied if the formation of condensation is

anticipated.
