2.7 FLUE LENGTHS
Flue length = 0.75 m (not including the terminal, which is supplied with the boiler)
Note: Additional flues (of the same length) are available.
Length of Flue Required:-
Rear Flue = wall thickness +150 mm
Side Flue = wall thickness + distance between wall and side of boiler + 185 mm
Vertical Flue = distance from top of boiler side panel to required roof position minus 1 m for vertical terminal assembly
Maximum flue length = 4 m
Each additional 90° Bend is equivalent to 1 m of flue length
Each 45° Bend is equivalent to 0.5 m of flue length
The Vertical Flue terminal assembly is equivalent to 1 m of flue length
