FLUE SYSTEM
(fumes duct, flue and chimney pot)

(fumes duct, flue and chimney pot)

This chapter has been drawn up pursuant to European
regulations EN 13384, EN 1443, EN 1856 and EN
1457. The installer must observe both these and any
other local regulations. This manual does not in any
way substitute such regulations.
The product must be connected to a flue system which
ensures that the fumes produced by combustion are
expelled in complete safety.

Before positioning the appliance, the installer must
check that the flue is suitable.

FUMES DUCT, FLUE

The fumes duct (which connects the combustion
chamber smoke outlet with the flue) and the flue itself
must, among other regulatory requirements:
• receive the fumes from a single product (the outlets

of multiple appliances may not be conveyed into
a single flue)

•  be routed vertically for the most part
•  have no downwards sloping sections
•  preferably have a circular internal cross section, or

with a ratio of the sides of less than 1.5

• terminate at roof level with a proper chimney pot:

the flue may not discharge directly on the wall
or into an enclosed space, even if the space in
question is open to the sky

• be made of material with rated fire reaction class

A1 as per UNI EN 13501 or analogous national
regulations

• be certified, with a chimney plate if metal
• be of uniform cross section or vary in cross section

only immediately after the outlet, not at some
midpoint of its length.

THE FUMES DUCT

• Further to the general prescriptions for the fumes

duct and flue, the fumes duct:

• may not be made of flexible metal material
• must be insulated, if routed through unheated

areas or outdoors

• must not be routed through rooms where the

installation of combustion heat generators is
prohibited or there is risk of fire, or that cannot be
inspected

• must enable the recovery of soot and be open for

inspection

• must have a maximum of 3 bends with a maximum

angle of 90°

• if there is a horizontal section, it can have a

maximum length of no more than 3 metres,
depending on the draw. Note, in any case, that
long sections encourage the accumulation of dirt
and are harder to keep clean.

THE FLUE:

Further to the general prescriptions for the smoke duct
and flue, the flue:
• must only be used for discharging fumes
• must be correctly sized to satisfy the requirements

for fume discharging (EN 13384-1)

• should preferably be insulated, in steel with a

circular internal section. If rectangular, the corners
must have a radius of not less than 20 mm, with
aratio of the internal dimensions of <1.5

• must normally be at least 1.5 metres in vertical

length

• must have a constant cross section
• must be waterproof and thermally insulated to

ensure a good draw

• preferably provide a collection chamber for

unburnt residues and condensates

• if pre-existing, must be clean, to prevent fire

hazards

• in general, we recommend fitting a tube inside the
