Malfunctions of the unit due to obstruction of the
flue gas flow!
If chippings, mortar residue, or similar objects enter the
flue pipe, the function of the unit may be affected.
>
During installation, ensure that no chippings, mortar res-
idue, etc. remain in the flue pipe.
Malfunctions and condensation exit due to lack of
tightness in the flue gas route!
The seals are sensitive to mineral-oil-based grease.
>
If necessary, use either water or the lubricant provided.
Fire protection
Outside the shaft, the flue gas pipes that are not in a con-
centric design must have a minimum clearance of 5 cm to
combustible components. In chimneys formerly used for oil
or solid fuels, which are now to be used for the supply of
combustion air, it is recommended that the chimney sweep
inspects and cleans the flue in question before the flue gas
pipe is installed. If it is not possible to adequately clean or
inspect the chimney (e. g. due to construction features), you
can
– use a separated air supply
or
– use open-flued operation for the system.
i
It is not necessary to leave a clearance between
the concentric flue pipe or the corresponding
extension and components made from combusti-
ble materials, because, at the nominal heat out-
put of the unit, components bordering the sur-
face cannot reach temperatures higher than
85 °C.

Intended use
The Vaillant flue pipes for ecoTEC plus are constructed
using state-of-the-art technology in accordance with the
recognised safety rules and regulations. Nevertheless, there
is still a risk of death or serious injury to the user or others
or of damage to the unit and other property in the event of
improper use or use for which the unit is not intended.
The Vaillant flue pipes named in this manual must only be
used in combination with the unit types named in this man-
ual.
Any other, or additional use is considered improper use and
all responsibility or liability of the manufacturer/supplier for
any resulting damages is excluded. In this case, the respon-
sible competent person and the user bear the risk.
Intended use includes the following:
– Observance of accompanying operating, installation and
servicing instructions for Vaillant products as well as for
other parts of components of the system
– Installing and fitting the boiler in accordance with the

2.5 CE
label
The Vaillant ecoTEC gas-fired wall-hung boilers are certified
according to the EU gas appliances directive 2009/142/EC
as a boiler system with associated flue gas installation. This
installation manual is a part of the certification and is cited
in the type testing certificate. In compliance with the regu-
latory statutes of this installation manual, the proof of usa-
bility of the products identified by Vaillant article numbers
that are designed for the flue pipe is provided.
If you do not use certified elements for the Vaillant flue
pipe when installing Vaillant ecoTEC gas-fired wall-hung
boilers, this voids the CE conformity of the unit. We there-
fore strongly recommend that you fit Vaillant air/flue gas
systems.
