8.4 MULTIPLE FLUE INSTALLATION

Common flues may be used on multiple installations only if all the heaters are of the same burner
system and fuel type and should be sized to ensure complete evacuation of the flue products from the
installation.
Where one appliance is to be used more regularly or for longer periods than the others in the group, it
should be connected at the point nearest the main flue. Please refer to BS6644 for further information
and recommendations.
A split collar should be fitted above the draught diverter so that the flue is secure but can be
disconnected for servicing. The weight of the flue must be adequately supported by securing clips and
not by the heater.
If a 600mm vertical rise before connection to the common header is not possible, the common header
should be sized to ensure adequate evacuation of all products of combustion.

8.5 FAN DILUTION SYSTEMS

An alternative to a natural draught flue system is a Flue dilution system, which is suitable for connection to the Mini
Copper-Fin's but must be properly designed by a specialist flue company.

8.6 BALANCED COMPARTMENTS

The equipment is suitable for siting within a balanced compartment. This compartment must be designed by a
specialist company.
