Fitting The Twin Pipe (Ø 80/80) - Ariston ALTEAS ONE Net Series Installation And Servicing Instructions

Fitting the Twin Pipe (Ø80 / 80)
Note: See table for maximum and minimum fl ue runs.
Where it is not possible to terminate the fl ue within the distance
permitted for coaxial fl ues, the twin fl ue pipe can be used by
fi tting a special adaptor to the fl ue connector and using the
aperture for the air intake located on top of the combustion
chamber.
Always ensure that the fl ue is adequately supported, using one
fl ue bracket per extension and avoiding low points. (ARISTON
supply suitable clamps as Part No. 3318015).
To utilise the air intake it is necessary to:
1) Remove the top of the air intake by cutting it with a suitable
knife.
2) Insert the header on the tube or the elbow up until the lower
stop (you do not have to use the washer).
3) Insert the elbow/header in the boiler air intake hole and fasten
it with screws.
The twin fl ue pipes can be fi tted with or without additional elbows
and need no clamps, simply ensure that the lip seal is inserted
in the female end of the fl ue pipe and push the extension piece
fully into the previous section of fl ue pipe or elbow, check that
the lip seal is not dislodged when assembling the fl ue (greasing
the seal will aid assembly).
Twin pipe can also be converted back to Coaxial fl ue to enable
vertical termination with a coaxial kit by using the pipe bridge
(Twin - Coaxial Adaptor - Part No. 3318089). When running the
twin fl ue pipe vertically.
It is not possible to terminate concentrically horizontally.
Termination is only possible with separate air and exhaust
terminals.
When siting the twin fl ue pipe, the air intake and exhaust
terminals must terminate on the same wall, the centres of the
terminals must be a minimum of 280 mm apart and the air intake
must not be sited above the exhaust terminal (refer to Fig. 10).
The air intake pipe can be run horizontally, however, the terminal
and the fi nal 1 metre of fl ue must be installed either horizontally
or with a slight fall away from the boiler to avoid rain ingress.
It is also strongly recommended that the air intake pipe run be
constructed of insulated pipe to prevent condense forming on
the outside of the tube.
Ensure the exhaust tube has a minimum fall back to the boiler of
1˚ / metre (1˚ = 17.5mm/metre)
The maximum permissible fl ue length for twin fl ue is dependent
on the type of run used (see table on page 23).
