2.2 SPECIFYING THE FLUE SYSTE & ASSOCIATED CO PONENTS
This product comes with the option of 2 methods of flueing :-
Decide upon the method of flue that is most suitable for the property in which you are installing the product, from the
following options :-
2.2.1 Balanced Flue in Horizontal Configuration
This flueing method uses a 0.5 metre vertical pipe starter pipe section, then utilises a 90 degree elbow and a terminal
section to provide a horizontal pipe from 324mm (minimum) up to 469mm (maximum). Additional flue duct can then be
purchased to allow installation up to a maximum wall thickness of 1395mm. The flue can be installed to terminate directly
out the wall behind the appliance or at the L/H side or R/H side by rotating the elbow section. If the terminal is fitted below
2m from ground level, a terminal guard must be fitted in England & Wales. BFM Europe supply a suitable guard in the
Horizontal Flue it. See section 2.4
2.2.2 Balanced Flue in Vertical Configuration
This flueing method utilses a rigid interlocking balanced flue duct to enable a vertical balanced flue system to be used. All
components required are supplied within the flue kit with the exception of the lengths of co-axial pipe and storm collars
which are dependent upon the individual installation. This method is most suited when a false chimney breast is being
constructed due to no chimney / insufficient depth and an outside wall is not available. See section 2.5
2.2.3 Flue Outlet Position
For vertical balanced flue configurations a choice of 2 outlet positions for the flue ducting are provided on the top of the
combustion chamber as shown below in figure 10. Dependent upon the flue outlet chosen and flue
configuration utilised a differing flue restrictor position will be required, see section 3.5 for further details.
THE CENTRAL FLUE OUTLET POSITION UST ONLY BE USED FOR VERTICAL FLUE CONFIGURATIONS. FOR
HORIZONTAL FLUE CONFIGURATIONS USE THE END FLUE OUTLET ON TOP OF THE CO BUSTION CHA BER.

(retains explosion relief flaps in position)

2.2.4 Leg Height Adjustment
Adjust the height of the legs to suit the installation height for the product that you wish to achieve to obtain the required
aesthetic look the customer wants. There are various adjustment positions for the legs on the combustion chamber as
shown below in figure 11. Remove securing screws / bolts, adjust leg height and replace screws / bolts as required.
Fig. 11
To enable fine adjustment of the product when in its final position, there is adjustment available via the rubber feet as shown
on figure 11 above, the feet can be adjusted using a 1/2” open ended spanner.
2.3 INSTALLATION OF THE GAS SUPPLY
2.3.1 Before installing the combustion chamber, decide from which side or if a rear connection to the gas supply is
required. Plan the pipe run to enter from below the combustion chamber from the left, right or rear and connect
to the inlet elbow.
2.3.2 Ensure if the gas supply is routed through any cavity brickwork that the pipe is sleeved and sealed with a suitable
flexible, non setting compound.
Note : Before breaking into the gas supply a gas tightness test should be carried out to establish that the
existing pipework is sound.
Note : On Duplex “L”, Duplex “R” and Triplex models please ensure that the transit brackets are removed from
the product before continuing with the installation.

2.4 BALANCED FLUE IN HORIZONTAL CONFIGURATION
2.4.1 Horizontal balanced flue configuration and components identified as shown below in figure 12
Fig. 12
2.4.2 Mark the position of the centre of the flue on the inner wall, taking into account the adjustment available for the
height via the adjustable feet. (See figure 4 above for position).
2.4.3 Cut hole for outer flue pipe. There are two possible methods to achieve this, either core drill or via hammer and
chisel.
2.4.4 To core drill, proceed as follows :-
2.4.5 Drill a pilot hole through the wall, in position as specified in figure 12 above.
2.4.6 Using a 6” core drill, drill the flue hole.
2.4.7 To Hammer and chisel, proceed as follows :-
2.4.8 Mark the position of the centre of the flue pipe as specified in figure 12 above.
2.4.9 Mark the position of the hole around this point.
2.4.10 Chisel out the area as marked on the wall.
2.4.11 We then recommend that a cardboard cylinder is placed around the flue pipe and inserted in the chiselled out
hole whilst making good. A wall plate is provided on the flue duct to seal the terminal around the
flue pipe opening and make good. Please ensure all joints are taped with suitable high temperature tape when
assembling the flue pipe sections together.
NOTE :- If the appliance is to be installed into a building under construction, it is recommended that a
non-corrosive metal tube of 6” diameter be inserted into the position of the hole as specified above in
figure 4, ensure the terminal guard that is supplied is fitted if the flue outlet position requires it to be.
PLEASE NOTE : THE FLUE TER INAL SHOULD BE FITTED WITH THE WELDED
JOIN LINE AT THE BOTTO , FACING THE GROUND.

IMPORTANT NOTE
ENSURE FOR HORIZONTAL FLUE CONFIGURATIONS THE
FLUE DUCT IS ATTACHED TO THE END OUTLET AS SHO N
ON THIS DIAGRAM, DO NOT USE THE CENTRAL OUTLET

2.5 BALANCED FLUE IN VERTICAL CONFIGURATION
2.5.1 Vertical flue configuration and components identified as shown below in figure 13.
Fig. 13
2.6 BALANCED FLUE IN VERTICAL CONFIGURATION (FLAT ROOF)
2.6.1 Determine the position of the flue run within the property and the termination position is correct in accordance
with BS 5440. Ensure that clearances to combustible surfaces (50mm minimum) are sufficient where the flue run
may come within close contact of joists etc.
2.6.2 For a flat roof installation the following components will need to be ordered from Metaloterm :-
USMPG13 Mounting plate US B13 Locking band
US100-13/50-13/25-13 Concentic flue - quantity required USDP13 Flat roof flashing
dependent upon flue height required
USSR13 Storm collar
2.6.3 To install the flue system therefore, make hole in roof, install the mounting plate (USMPG13) underneath the roof
and secure with screws. (See figure 14 overpage)
2.6.4 Place a locking band (US B13) in the mounting plate (USMPG13). Put the concentric flue US100-13/50-13/25-
13 through the mounting plate and locking band until it protrudes by 400mm min, 1000mm max through the roof.
Fix the flat roof flashing (USDP13) over the flue and fix it to the flat roof. See figure 14 overpage. Please ensure
all joints are taped with suitable high temperature tape when assembling the flue pipe sections together.
2.6.5 Seal the opening between the flue and flashing with silicone rubber and a storm collar (USSR13). See figure 14
overpage.
2.6.6 Install the terminal (contained within the terminal kit requested at point of order from BFM Europe Ltd.) with a
locking band and fix with 3 nuts.
2.6.7 Finish the roof covering over the flashing and weatherproof.

2.7 BALANCED FLUE IN VERTICAL CONFIGURATION (PITCHED ROOF)
2.7.1 Determine the position of the flue run within the property and the termination position is correct in accordance
with BS 5440-1. Ensure that clearances to combustible surfaces (50mm minimum) are sufficient where the flue
run may come within close contact of joists etc.
2.7.2 For a pitched roof installation the following components will need to be ordered from Metaloterm :-
USCP13 Cover plates (pair)
US B13 Locking band
US100-13/50-13/25-13 Concentic flue - quantity required dependent upon flue height required
USDH13 Slope roof flashing or USLS13 Lead slope roof flashing
USSR13 Storm collar
USDQ13 Roof support
2.7.3 To install the flue system therefore, make hole in roof, install the pair of cover plates (USCP13) underneath the
roof, put the concentric flue US100-13/50-13/25-13 through the mounting plate and locking band until it protrudes
by 400mm min, 1000mm max through the roof. Centre the flue and secure with the roof support (USDQ13) and
screws. (See figure 15 below) Please ensure all joints are taped with suitable high temperature tape when
assembling the flue pipe sections together.
2.7.4 Put the slope roof flashing USDH13 (or in the case of a tiled roof the lead flashing USLS13) over the flue and
make a weather proof finish. Seal the opening flue and flashing with the silicone rubber and the
storm collar (USSR13).
2.7.5 Install the terminal (contained within the terminal kit requested at point of order from BFM Europe Ltd.) with a
locking band and fix with 3 nuts.
