1. Introduction
The Apollo 80 is a closed atmospheric gas heating appliance. A closed appliance does not extract the combustion
air from the living environment, but from outside. This is done by means of a combined flue gas discharge system
/ combustion air supply system. In this concentric system, the outer pipe functions as the air supply and the inner
pipe functions as the flue gas discharge.
The safe operation of the appliance is guaranteed by the use of a second thermocouple fitted to the main burner.
This system can be installed through the wall or through the roof.
The appliance is built in a chimney breast. For this, DRU has a number of chimney breasts in its range. In order
to reach a proper heat discharge, the chimney breast must be ventilated. DRU is able to supply various ventilation
elements.
The appliance is supplied with a wireless, battery powered remote control.

6.5 Flue gas discharge / combustion air
supply system
6.5.1 General
The appliance is of the C11/C31 type.
The appliance is connected to a combined fl ue gas
discharge/combustion air supply system, hereafter
referred to as the concentric system.
The passage to the outside can be made with a wall
duct (see section 6.5.2) or with a roof duct (see sec-
tion 6.5.3).
If necessary, you can also use an existing discharge
channel (see section 6.5.4).
N.B. - Only use the concentric system supplied by DRU
(Ø100 / Ø150 mm). This system was tested in com-
bination with the appliance; DRU cannot guarantee
a proper and safe operation of other systems and
cannot accept liability for these systems;
- For connecting to an existing chimney ue you
should only use the installation set supplied by
DRU.
The concentric system is constructed from (the di-
scharge stump of) the appliance.
If structural circumstances require that the concen-
tric system is placed fi rst, the appliance can later be
connected with a telescopic pipe piece.
6.5.2 Application with wall duct
6.5.2.1 Construction of concentric system with
wall duct
The concentric system with wall duct has to comply with the following conditions:
➠
First, a concentric pipe of at least 1 meter should be connected vertically to the appliance;
➠
The total vertical pipe length can have a maximum of 4 meters;
➠
After the vertical part a bend of 90° is connected;
➠
When using a minimum 1 up to maximum 4 meter vertical pipe length, the total horizontal pipe length may have a
maximum of 3 meters (wall duct not included; see Fig. 4a).
Depending on the construction of the concentric system, further adjustments should be made to the appliance.
The next 2 confi gurations are allowed for the construction:
a) a minimum 1 meter up to maximum 4 meter vertical pipe length in combination with a 90° bend and a wall duct
(i.e. no horizontal part; see Fig. 4b).
When using this confi guration, you must set the restriction to 60 mm (for this, see section 6.8.1).
b) a minimum 1 meter and maximum 4 meter vertical pipe length in combination with a 90° bend and a maximum
3 meter horizontal pipe length and a wall duct (see Fig. 4a).
When using this application, you must remove the air inlet guides.

Apollo 80 - instruction for instAllAtion
To install the concentric system commence as follows:
➠
Construct the system from the (connection stub of the) appliance up.
N.B. - Maintain a distance of at least 50 mm between the outside of the concentric system and the walls and/or the ceiling;
If the system is built-into a cove for example, incombustible material should be applied all around;
- Use heat-resistant insulating material for ducts made of combustible material;
- The rosette (mounting inner plate) of the wall duct is too small to seal the Ø 250 mm opening when passing through
combustible material. That is why you should rst apply a suciently large heat-resistant intermediate plate to the
wall. Then, the rosette is mounted on the intermediate plate.
➠
Connect the concentric pipe sections and the bend(s);
➠
Fit a clamping strip and silicone sealing ring to every connection;
➠
Secure the clamping strip with a self-tapping screw in places which will be inaccessible after installation;
➠
Use enough brackets to ensure that the weight of the pipes does not rest on the appliance;
➠
Determine the remaining length of the wall duct;
➠
Cut the wall duct to size;
!N.B. - Make sure that the right insertion length is maintained;
- Place the wall duct with the groove/folded seam at the top;
- Make sure the horizontal concentric pipe pieces are sloping towards the wall duct, in order to prevent rain water
from entering.
➠
Mount the rosette (mounting inner plate); if necessary, on a heat resistant intermediate plate when passing through
combustible material;
➠
Attach the wall duct from the outside with four screws in their respective holes.
!N.B. Some heat-resistant isolation materials contain volatile components that will spread an unpleasant smell for a pro-
longed time; these are not suitable.
6.5.3 Application with roof duct
6.5.3.1 Construction of concentric system with roof duct
The concentric system with roof duct has to comply with the following conditions
➠
The construction of the chosen system has to be allowed. (See the procedure described below);
➠
First, a concentric pipe of at least 1 meter should be connected vertically to the appliance.
Depending on the construction of the concentric system, the appliance is set by placing the baffle and/or removing
the air inlet guides.
In the following procedure you can see how the allowability of a concentric system can be determined and which
settings are needed.
➠
Determine the following data:
1. The number of bends required (no distinction is made between 45° and 90° bends);
2. The total number of meters of horizontal pipe length;
3. The total number of meters of vertical and/or sloping pipe length (wall duct not included).
With these data and Table 1 you will be able to determine whether the concentric system is allowed.
In Table 2 you can see which setting the appliance needs.
Follow the procedure described below:
➠
In the rst 2 columns of Table 1, look for the number of bends required and the total horizontal pipe length;
➠
In the 3rd column of Table 1, look for the total vertical and/or sloping pipe length.
If you end up in a box with the letter A, B, C, D or E the concentric system chosen by you is allowed.
➠
Use Table 2 to determine which conditions apply for the bae and/or the air inlet guides (for setting see section 6.8);
Examples
To clarify, we will give 2 examples to determine the allowability of a concentric system and the conditions for setting
the appliance.
In Table 1 the route to be followed is indicated by arrows. The result is indicated by means of the red frame of the box.
