Flue System and
Air Supply
High Level Horizontal Balanced Flue
(White system)
The High Level (horizontal) balanced flue
(white system) allows the flue to rise
vertically within the building before
exiting through the wall horizontally.
The maximum flue length - from the top
of the boiler flue outlet to the outer face
of the wall - is 10 metres for all Vortex
boilers.
The following items are additionally
available:
• Extensions to extend the flue by
225mm, 450mm or 950mm.
• An adjustable extension of 275 to
450mm.
• A 45° elbow - No more than
6 x 45° elbows should be fitted
per system. Each elbow reduces the
overall maximum length of the
system by 1 metre.
Vertical Balanced Flue
(White system)
Allows the flue to rise vertically from the
boiler to exit through the roof.
The maximum flue length - from the top
of the boiler flue outlet to the terminal -
is 12 metres for all Vortex boilers.
The following items are additionally
available:
• Extensions to extend the flue by
225mm, 450mm or 950mm.
•
An adjustable extension of 275 to
450mm.
• A 45° elbow - No more than
6 x 45° elbows should be fitted
per system. Each elbow reduces the
o
verall maximum length of the
system by 1 metre.
Flexible Vertical Balanced Flue
(Red system)
This is a flexible vertical balanced flue
system designed to be fitted inside an
existing masonry chimney. See Figure 9-10.
It basically consists of three sections:
• Concentric white painted flue pipe
connected to the boiler
• Vertical concentric flexible flue
(flexible stainless steel flue liner
inside a flexible plastic air inlet liner)
• Terminal assembly for chimney top
mounting
The flue pipe seals are factory fitted and
must be lubricated with the lubricant
supplied before assembly.
The Red system is supplied as a separate
kit. Flue extensions and 45° elbows from
the White system may be used to extend
the flue between the boiler and the flexible
section of the system.
The maximum vertical straight length of
flue, from the top of the boiler to the top
of the terminal, is 20 metres – using no
more than four 45° elbows. Deduct 1
metre of straight flue length for every
elbow used.

If the flexible liners have to pass
around an offset inside the chimney
deduct 2 metres of straight flue
length to compensate for this.
Flue extensions cannot be cut, use
adjustable extensions where required.
Three types of locking band are
supplied with the kit.
The first type is for connecting flue
sections that butt together (2 of this
type of locking band are supplied).
The second type is to cover the joint on
the adjustable (telescopic) section.
!
NOTE
The locking band for the adjustable
section is labelled for easy identification.
The third locking band is plastic and
supplied in two halves. This is to secure
the plastic flexible liner to the adaptor.
