FLUE COMMISSIONING
1. Check to ensure electrical safety should be carried out by a competent person.
2. ALWAYS carry out the preliminary electrical system checks, i.e. earth continuity, polarity,
resistance to earth using a suitable meter.
Prior to initial ring of the boiler, the ue must be checked for leaks.
This is done by BOTH of the following methods:
Visual Inspection
Check joints between all ue sections for quality of seals. Where the ue passes through the structure
of the building use your judgement as to the integrity of this section of the ue.
Smoke Test
With the ue capped, the drain stabiliser pipe (if tted) blanked and a smoke generator inserted into
the ue, there should be no smoke visible from the ue.
If either of these tests fail or at any time during boiler operation there is doubt about the integrity of
the ue, shut down the boiler and contact Fulton Ltd immediately.
Note: Flues that are designed to operate with positive pressure should be tested to the latest regulations.
