When all of the above services have been completed, please contact your service engineer for an additional
servicerecordsheet.
5.1.7 All materials shall be in accordance with Building Regulations requirements.
5.1.8 The flue should run as vertically as possible. Horizontal runs should be avoided if at all possible and any directional
change should be as gentle as possible. If there is any doubt about the flue configuration, the equivalent flue height
should be determined (see 5.1.11).
5.1.9 If the appliance to be fitted is a replacement, the old appliance should be checked for signs of spillage prior to
commencement of the installation and appropriate action taken, (i.e. check flue system and renew as necessary).
5.1.10 It is recommended that at least 600mm of vertical flue should be provided from the top of the draught diverter (for new
installations this shall be incorporated into the flue design). However, when carrying out replacement installations, an
existing flue system may be encountered, where the vertical flue above the appliance to the first bend is less than
600mm. In the first instance, the installer must judge whether this distance can be achieved practicably by some means.
Where this is not practicable, the existing flue system may be used, providing there is no evidence of spillage from the
old appliance (see 5.1.9 above). Every effort must be made, however, to ensure that the existing flue complies in every
other way to BS 5440 Part 1, including the visual inspection, flue flow and spillage test described in 4.3.2 of the above
standard. Flue configurations may be assessed in terms of equivalent vertical height - details are given in 5.1.11. For air
heaters, the minimum equivalent vertical height is 1 metre. The installer must make a judgement based on his
knowledge and experience and the examination and testing described above as to whether an existing flue system can
be used.
Note: Ventilation of the compartment, room or internal space in which the appliance is to be installed must be checked for
compliance with the requirements of BS 5440 Part 2 ( Ref. Section 3 of these instructions) and upgraded as necessary.
5.1.11 Calculationmethod forfluesizing: (fromBS 5440:Part1,AppendixA)
a. This appendix provides a procedure for estimating whether a given flue design is likely to ensure full clearance of
combustion products.
b. The procedure is based on calculating the ‘equivalent height’ of the flue under consideration, (i.e. that height of the
straight vertical circular flue pipe of specific size which will produce the same flow rate as the flue under
consideration). The equivalent height is calculated from the formula:
(Ki+ Ko )e
He= Hax ____________________
(Ki+ Ko)a- KeHa+ Sum K
where:
Heis the height of the equivalent flue;
Ha is the vertical height of the actual or proposed flue;
Kiis the inlet resistance of the flue;
Ko is the outlet resistance from the flue;
subscript e refers to the equivalent flue diameter;
subscript a refers to the actual or proposed flue diameter;
Keis the resistance per unit length of the equivalent flue;
Sum K is the resistance (other than the inlet and outlet resistance) of the actual or proposed flue.
Note:K and Sum K are obtained from Table 2. Koand Kiare obtained from Table 3.
c. Table 2 gives resistance factors for common flue components for use in the formula. Table 3 contains the appropriate
inlet and outlet flue resistances, (theflueis likely to be satisfactory if its equivalent heightexceeds1m).
d. WorkedCalculationExample:
A warm air unit with a 100 mm diameter flue spigot, fitted with a pre-fabricated flue system leading to a ridge tile in the loft (refer Fig.
2):
Fromtable3:
Kia Inlet resistance of actual flue =2.5
Koa Outlet resistance of actual flue =2.5
Kie Inlet resistance of equivalent flue =2.5
Koe Outlet resistance of the actual flue =2.5
