Installation Instructions
1. Flue & Chimney Requirements
WHEN INSTALLING A FLUE SYSTEM PLEASE REFER
TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
The European chimney standards now describe chimneys
and flues by their temperature, pressure and resistance to
corrosion, condensation and fire. To identify the correct flue
system, the minimum flue specification is shown in the
Technical Specification. Existing chimneys are not covered
by this system.
The flue must be installed in accordance with all local and
national regulations and the current rules in force:
1.1 The chimney or flue system must comply with the rules in
force, and must be 127mm (5") in diameter.
1.2 A flexible liner must be continuous from the appliance spigot
to the roof terminal.
1.3 The minimum effective height of the flue must be 3m (10').
1.4 The flue must be free from any obstruction.
1.5 Any damper plates must be removed or secured in the fully
open position and no restrictor plates fitted.
1.6 The chimney should be swept immediately before installing
the appliance, but it need not be swept if you can see the
chimney is clean and free from obstruction throughout.
