16BFLUEREQUIREMENTS
YourSuncoheatermustbeinstalledwithanapproved“default”fluekitavailablefromyourretailer.You
mustnotmodifythekitinanywayormixcomponentsfromotherkits.
Oneofthemostimportantfactorsthatdeterminestheperformanceofyourheateristheheightofthe
flue.Afluethatisnothighenough,ordoesnotextendfarenoughabovenearbyairflowobstructions,will
notallowtheheatertodrawairproperly,andcombustionwillsufferasaresult.StandardAs2918
requiresthefollowingasaminimum:
• Theactiveflue(theinnermostpipeforamultiskinnedflue)mustterminateatleast4.6metres
abovethebaseoftheheater.
• Theactivefluemustterminateatleast1mfromaslopingroof,and1.5maboveaflatroof.
• Thefluemustbehigherthananyairflowobstructionwithina3mradiusbyatleast1m.
• Whereitisimpracticaltoextendtheflueaboveairflowobstructions(egtreesveryclosetotheroof)
thenanantidowndraftcowlisadvised.
• Theflueshouldextendaboveanywindowofaneighbouringproperty
Ifperformanceproblemsremainafterthefluehasbeenextendedasrequired,consultyourdealerfor
furtheradvice.
