2.15 PERMISSIBLE FLUE LENGTH
The maximum permissible ue lengths for each model is shown in Table A below, these lengths are inclusive of the
terminal resistance.
The value shown is the max available length for extension.
The equivalent length of elbows is shown in Table B.

Maximum lengths due to the resistance presented by extended concentric ue lengths a slight reduction in the maximum
boiler output will occur where ue lengths exceed the stated lengths. In such cases the boiler output will be reduced up to
0.8% per additional metre and should not exceed those stated in Table D.
