3.2 CHIMNEY
1. Contact a qualified and licensed installer for the central chimney (Licensed Hydraulic).
2. The installation of the chimney must be carried out in accordance with the requirements of
European standards EN 1856-1-2, EN 1443, EN 13384-1, EN 13384-3 and EN 15287-1.
3. Parts of the central flue (if used) must be suitable for the specific use (condensing
technology) and be CE marked.
4. Ensure the removal of flammable materials located in the installation area (consult with the
licensed hydraulic installer).
5. The height of the central chimney is required to be at least 1 m from the outlet of the unit.
6. It is forbidden to use horizontal sections and flexible metallic ducts.
7. The chimney should be adequately supported all the way along stable building blocks such
as floors and walls.
8. The required drag depends on the installation. Indicatively, pull requirements of at least 20
mbar are reported, while the final height is required to be dimensioned by your licensed
installer or engineer.
9. The boiler is not allowed to be connected to a chimney serving other heating appliances.
10. Due to the fact that the unit is operating at flue gas temperatures below 100 ° C, it is
necessary to install a plastic chimney in accordance with European Standard EN14471. Simple
metal chimneys are impractical.
11. If used in conjunction with other combustion appliances, it is necessary to ensure a higher
supply of external combustion air according to the requirements of the appliances. This can
be done by creating more openings to the outside environment. Follow the installation
instructions for each device separately and create as many apertures as needed. (Before any
such event, you must contact a licensed installer or your Engineer, who will take into account
the ventilation requirements of all devices).
12. Install the chimney to a point where there are no obstructions and where no air
turbulence is generated.
13. Particular attention is needed on how to seal the chimney crossing point from the roof of
the building. Waters dripping over it can spoil it.
14. If a built-in chimney is to be used, it is required to place inside it a plastic chimney with the
same specifications as presented earlier in this paragraph. In any case ask your engineer.
15. 15. It is forbidden to pass through the chimney any piping (any kind) of the installation.
16. It is necessary to install a windproof and anti-rain hat.
17. Test and check the safety systems immediately after installation.
18. It is necessary to carry out a flue gas control after the boiler has been installed. Always ask
FUEL CONTROL CHECK from the licensed liquid fuel technician.
17. Test and check the safety systems immediately after installation.
