10.14 Vertical ue
The vertical ue system is available as an option where the
boiler position does not permit the use of the top horizontal
ue system.
The system is made up from accessories. The accessories
include terminal assembly, bends 45º and 90º, ue
extensions, xing bracket and appropriate weather collar, see
diagram 10.23.
The maximum permitted straight ue length is 8 metres plus
the terminal. for each 90º or 2x45º bends tted, the maximum
length must be reduced by 1 metre, see diagram 10.22.
NOTE: 2x45º bends can replace 1x90º bend if necessary.
When using 90º bends any horizontal extension pipe should
be inclined by a minimum of 44mm/metre (2.5º) towards
the boiler to facilitate condense removal, see (a) in diagram
10.22.
Alternatively use 45º bends to avoid horizontal runs, see (b) in
diagram 10.22.
The terminal siting should be as shown in diagram 4.2.
Measure the distance of ue length required for the
installation.
The ue must be designed with a continuous fall towards the
boiler.
