The accessories to be used for this type of installation and some of the connecting systems that may be adopted are illustrated in fig. 18. There is the possibility of separating the air-intake and flue-outlet dusts and then bringing them back together again so as to obtain a concentric discharge by using the doubler fitting (7 fig.
