INTRODUCTION
1.0 EVOMAX CASCADE FLUE SYSTEM
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Cascade Flue system enables Evomax boilers of ‘open
ue’ Type B23 to be connected via a common ue header.
The Cascade Header may be coupled to a bespoke ue outlet
system designed by a ue specialist (section 3).
To ensure safety of operation non-return valves are
incorporated to prevent back-ow of combustion products
through any individual boiler that is not ring.
The condensate produced within the ue drains through the
central trough of the header duct and exits via a siphon.
The maximum permissible system capacity is limited to
the value shown in Table 1.2; this is necessary to ensure
acceptable operation of any individual boiler operating at
its minimum output under the inuence of the total system
pressure generated by the adjacent boilers.
There are optional system congurations that will provide
different characteristics, these options should be considered to
optimise the system performance. (Table 1.2).
1.2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
Choosing the most appropriate conguration to the required
application will inuence the performance in the following ways;
• System Capacity.
• Number of Boilers
• Turn-Down capability
•Flue length capability Refer to Section 3.0 for details

2.4 ASSEMBLY
It is recommended that Evomax applications of the Cascade
Flue System should be installed in combination with the Ideal
Frame & Header Kit.
The Polypropylene ue tubes are designed to assemble
together by push t connection, a recessed exible seal is
incorporated to create a gas tight join.
The seal should be lubricated with water to facilitate assembly.
Other lubricants must not be used.
The non-return valve is a two part assembly; the valve connector
and the valve body. The valve connector has an eccentric axis, by
rotation of the connector the relative position of the boiler and header
may be adjusted. This feature will accommodate any positional
tolerance of the header during installation and permit 30-80 models
and 100-150 models within the same system (Figure 2.5).
The ue extension tube is either 80mm dia or 100mm dia
according to the models being installed, the supplied ue tube
length is 500mm.
The header gradient should be 3 degrees falling to the
condensate drain end to allow adequate condensate drainage;
to create this slope the extension tubes of adjacent boilers
must be cut to the required length (Fig 2.6).
Condensate Drain Connection
For the correct termination of the condensate drain refer to
the advice given with respect to condensate drain acceptable
practice as provided in the Installation and Servicing
Instructions provided with the Evomax appliance.
The ue connector is specic to either the 30-80 models
or 100-150 models, the inner tube is manufactured in
Polypropylene in accordance with the cascade system. Flue
connectors with an aluminium inner tube must not be used.
2.7 WIRE RETAINING CLIPS
To prevent movement of the tube connections by the inuence
of expansion and contraction, securing clips are provided. The
wire spring clip locates under the rim of the female component
and is secured by a nut and bolt around the locating spigot,
this creates a resistance to any opposing force. (Fig 2.9)
There is one Wire Retaining Clip provided for each of the
ue connections.
The wire retaining clips must be tted to every join to ensure
safe operation of the system.

2.8 HEADER INSTALLATION
The Cascade Header is suspended from a ceiling or overhead
structure by studding attaching to brackets holding the
circumference of the header duct. There is one bracket and
stud rod supplied with each of the Starter & Extension Kits.
(Fig 2.9)
The boiler ue tube of each boiler is secured by a clamp and
tie rod either to a wall or supporting structure. (Fig 2.9)

Wire retaining clips are also tted to the starter kit
End Cover and Syphon connection (not shown).
Refer to diagrams shown in pages 10-13 for
correct location of all wire retaining clips.
Important: All wire retaining clips must be tted
to the ductwork to ensure safe operation of the
system.

3.0.2 The Flue Stack must be specied by a Flue Specialist
3.0.3 Design of the connecting ue spigot must refer to the
dimensions of the mating collar (Fig 3.1).
3.0.4 The Polypropylene header and EPDM seal are certied
to BSEN 14471.
3.0.5 Integrity of the ue joints and safety of operation must
be proven by the installer.
3.0.6 The ue resistance at ‘A’ in Figure 3.2 is not permitted to
exceed the maximum static pressure specication [Pmax]
quoted in Table 3.3 when operating at the maximum
capacity.
IMPORTANT: LEAKAGE OF FLUE PRODUCTS INTO THE ROOM WILL DEPLETE
THE OXYGEN LEVEL & INHIBIT SAFE COMBUSTION .
3.0.7 The ue route should be planned to enable the least
directional change, one elbow is recommended as
depicted in Figure 3.2.
3.0.8 The ue pipe diameter must be at least 200mm, larger
diameters will permit longer ue length.
3.0.9 The ue material must be suitable for condensing
operation.
3.0.10 The terminal guard must prevent the ingress of objects
greater than 15mm diameter to comply with EN15502.
3.0.11 The Flue Terminal design should be selected to create the
least resistance and not compromise the potential ue
length. A wire mesh type is recommended with a
14mm grid.
3.0.12 Rain ingress may be ignored as the header design
enables excess water to be discharged through the
condensate drain.

Example 1
This example requires a total output of 350kW and comprises
(4 x 80) + (1 x 30) models; the inclusion of the 30kW model
enables the greatest turn-down (40:1) but the maximum
permissible header pressure is limited to 40Pa.
Example 2
The heat requirement here is also 350kW; by selecting 3 x
120kW models (360kW) the maximum permissible header
pressure is raised to 80Pa which will enable greater ue
length. The turn-down ratio will be reduced to 12:1.

4.0 COMMISSIONING
To accommodate the ue pressure generated by the
connection of multiple boilers to a common ue, the minimum
rate (equivalent to minimum fan speed) of each Evomax
appliance operating on the Multiline cascade system is
increased to offset the maximum back-pressure created.
Table 4.1 shows the revised performance of each Evomax
model where it differs from standard standalone operation as
shown in the Evomax Installation & Servicing instructions.
To convert Evomax operation with the Multiline ue as
described, the change is made by accessing the operating
parameters on the Evomax user interface control panel
following the procedure below. This change must be made to
each Evomax operating on the Multiline cascade system.
Procedure for selecting Multiline cascade ue operation
on Evomax user interface control panel.
1.0 Press SELECT and then hold + and – buttons down
together for more then 5 seconds, the following screen
will be displayed.
2.0 Rotate the KNOB clockwise and scroll downwards
towards the end of the list until the following screen is
displayed.
3.0 Press SELECT and the following screen will be
displayed.
4.0 Press + or - to highlight ‘Multiline Flue’ and then press
ENTER to store.
5.0 Rotate the KNOB clockwise until Normal Operation
is highlighted again and press SELECT to return to
normal operation.
