NOTE 
When Your installation does not coincide with values indicated by table 4 (for example installation 
type C
13
 with air pipe 10m length and flue pipe 16m length) must be checked the total amount of 
the flue system pressure loss. It is to be within the maximum loss allowed for the unit (see 
example below). 
CALCULUS EXAMPLE 
F41 unit with following air/flue system is to be installed: 
-  8 meters of flue pipe Ø 80 
-  2 elbows 90° Ø 80 on the flue pipe 
-  8 meters of air pipe Ø 80 
Piping calculus is to be done watching out the maximum allowed pressure drop, which is 
30Pa (see table 2). 
 Quantity  Pressure drop    
Flue pipe Ø 80  8  x 2,0  Pa  =  16,0  Pa  + 
90° Elbow  2  x 4,1  Pa  =  8,4  Pa  + 
Air pipe Ø 80  8  x 1,0  Pa  =  8,0  Pa  = 
Total pressure drop            32,4  Pa   
The total pressure drop of the system is BIGGER than allowed pressure drop (32,4 Pa 
HIGHER THAN 30 Pa), therefore the installation is NOT POSSIBLE. 
This flue system will be possible only if one of the following actions is taken: 
-  reduce the flue/air pipe length 
-  Increase the pipe diameter by using the pipe, Ø100
