TABLE 8.6 EXHAUST COMPONENT RESISTANCES (Pa)
When a conventional flue is to be used, the maximum length of the flue system is limited by the resistance of the
exhaust flue components as detailed in Table 8.6.
When a twin-pipe flue is to be used, the maximum length of the flue system is limited by the combined resistance of the
inlet and exhaust flue components as detailed in Table 8.5 and Table 8.6.
8.5.1 WORKED EXAMPLE – CONVENTIONAL FLUE
CP-M+80 boiler with a flue run of 24 metres plus 3 x 90° elbows
Option 1 80mm Flue Components
TABLE 8.7 WORKED EXAMPLE – CONVENTIONAL FLUE – 80mm COMPONENTS
Using 80mm flue components, the total resistance of 216 Pa is more than the 200 Pa maximum value therefore this is
unacceptable.
Option 2 100mm Flue Components
TABLE 8.8 WORKED EXAMPLE – CONVENTIONAL FLUE – 100mm COMPONENTS
By using 100mm components, the total resistance of the flue system is reduced to 94.5 Pa. As this is below the 200 Pa limit, this
is the flue system that should be used.
