* All Cyclone BFC are also approved for installations where the unit is supplied
without venting materials (C63).
Concentric flues
It is not permitted to use more than the specified number of
bends, even when the duct is shorter than the maximum
length. A 45° bend is equivalent to a 90° bend.
Parallel flues
- The maximum permissible length should be reduced by the
equivalent length of each bend. (Note: for a parallel installation
this means that 3 changes in direction amount to 6 bends
(3 in the supply duct and 3 in the flue).
- The maximum length also applies if a parallel installation has
different supply and flue duct lengths (B23, C53).
- Combined flues (C43) shall be fitted with a condensate drain.
Note: horizontal flue runs must be installed with a fall of at least
5 mm per metre.
