1 - When the maximum total length for the default diameter of 100 mm is insufficient,
diameter 130 mm should be used. Any diameter enlargement must be carried out on both
air inlet and flue gas outlet.
2 - When the maximum total length for the default diameter of 130 mm is insufficient,
diameter 150 mm should be used. Any diameter enlargement must be carried out on both
air inlet and flue gas outlet.
Caution
Always make sure the installation is in compliance with the requirements stated in this
table.
Caution
Use a run-off of 50 mm per meter towards the water heater.
Calculate the maximum length of the air inlet and the flue gas outlet seperately:
Sum the lengths of the different pipe sections without bends. Ignore the length of
the adaptor box.
Sum the lengths of the bends. Ignore the bend in the adapter box:
Sum L
equivalent
for each 45° bend.
Sum L
equivalent
for each 90° bend.
Sum the lengths of the pipe sections and the lengths of the bends to calculate the
overall length of the air inlet and the flue gas outlet.
Adjust the length of the air inlet and/or the flue gas outlet when the overall length
exceeds the maximum length as stated in the table.
