Balanced Flue

Jetstreme 4+ boilers

are

designed

to

also

use

a Balanced Flue

system,

whereby

the

appliance

is

completely

sealed

from

the

room

where

it is installed.

Air

is

taken

directly from

the

outside

of

the

building

to

the

burner

for

combustion,

and

then

discharged

again

to

the

outside

of

the

building.

It

is

sometimes

found

that

the

burner

noise level is increased

when

passing

through

a

normal

inlet/exhaust

pipe,

but

the

Jetstreme

4+

inlet/exhaust

also

incorporates

a

silencer

to

reduce

this effect.

The flue kit

may

be

positioned so as to

pass

through

the

wall to

the

rear,

or

through

a side wall

to

the

left

or

right,

taking

due

account of

the

building

regulations

and

the

recommendations

shown

in

fig

5.

The

standard

flue kit is suitable for walls

up

to

11

inches thick. For walls

up

to 22 inches thick a

supplementary

kit is available

and

can

be

ordered

directly from Benson Heating,

quoting

Flue

Kit

No.1.

Flue

Kit

No.2.

This kit enables

the

balanced flue to

be

discharged

through

the

wall

at

a

high

level

(2

metres) above

the

floor.

Flue

Kit

No.3.

This kit,

although

still a

balanced

flue system, is suitable for situations

where

the

only

route for

the

discharge is

through

a flat

or

shallow pitched roof.

The

terminal

guard

basket

supplied

with

the

balanced

flue kit

must

always

be

fitted

even

at

high

level.

If

the

balanced

flue

terminal

discharges

within

900mm

(3

feet)

below

a

plastic

gutter

or

overhang,

the

gutter

must

be

protected

with

a non-combustible material.

Burner

Various

burners

are available for

use

on

the

Jetstreme 4+ boiler

and

all are rigorously tested for

their

suitability. Because

burners

may

be

added

to

the

range

from

time

to

time,

details

of

the

burners

are given

within

a

separate

document.

It

should

be

noted

that

the

EOGB

burner

is referred

to here; this is because

the

initial external BSRIA

approvals

for

the

Jetstreme 4+

were

carried

out

with

the

EOBG 'Burner fitted.

Oil

Supply

Any

fuel oil leak,

however

small must

be

rectified immediately.

Careful consideration

must

be

given to

the

siting of

the

oil storage tank,

taking

account of:-

Access for delivery

of

oil.

Proximity

and

relationship

of

tank

to boiler.

Visual acceptability

by

the

customer

and

neighbours.

Conformity

to local bylaws.

Building Regulations.

Protection for

the

retention

of

oil

in

the

event

of a leak.

Plastic oil storage

tanks

should

comply

with

OFS

TlOO

and

should

be

OFTEC

Approved

under

the

OFCERT Scheme.
