Additional Bends -
Reduction of total length of flue pipe by:
- per 87° elbow = 1.00 m
- per 45° elbow = 0.50 m
- per 30° elbow = 0.35 m
- per 25° elbow = 0.20 m
Existing Chimneys: If a chimney, which was
previously used for oil or solid fuel furnaces, is used
for installing a concentric flue gas pipe, it is
necessary for the chimney to be thoroughly cleaned.
Installation: The flue gas pipe must be installed with a
slope from the PARAMOUNT so that condensate
from the flue gas pipe can drain into the central
condensate sump in the PARAMOUNT.
The minimum slope is as follows:
- Horizontal flue pipe: min. 3°
Height above Roof: Refer to relevant British
Standards and Code of Practice.
