Construction of the concentric flue system 

Correctly  installed  and  configured  concentric  flue  system  by  the  Installer  will  ensure  an  optimized  air 
circulation inside the device and provide the best image of the flame. 

In case of output of the concentric flue system through the side wall (type C11), the following requirements 
apply: 

 

Install the system in accordance with the applicable regulations, taking into account all the difficulties 
related to the wind pressure on the terminal.  

 

Drill holes of the correct diameter in the walls/ceilings through which concentric flue system will be 
passing. The remaining space should be supplemented by additional protective insulation against the 
ingress of moisture into the building.  

 

If  the  concentric  flue  system  is  located  near  the  combustible  walls  (elements)  you  must  ensure  a 
minimum distance of 100 mm from flammable materials.  

 

Installation  of  the  concentric  flue  system  should  always  start  with  the  one  meter  vertical  section 
(minimum height) at the outlet of the device. 

 

Total height of the pipe in vertical position, in case of concentric flue system getting through the wall 
of the building, may not exceed a maximum length of 4 m.  

 

Total length of the pipe in horizontal position, in case of concentric flue system getting through the 
wall of the building, may not exceed a maximum length of 5 m (not including terminal).  

 

WARNING!

 

For the insert using LPG, it is recommended to use up to 2 meter of horizontal section (not 

including terminal).
