  • Page 45: Flueing Introduction

    installation Flueing Introduction The ACB40E uses the "balanced flue" technology Co-Axial system. The inner liner flues products of combustion to the outside while the outer liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing warm room air up the chimney. Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance. The gas appliance and flue system must be flueed directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct flue gas appliance must use it's own separate flue system. Common flue systems are prohibited. Flueing Arrangement for Horizontal Terminations The diagram shows all allowable combinations of vertical runs with horizontal terminations, using one 90 (two 45 elbows equal one 90 elbow). Note: Must use optional rigid pipe adapter (Part# 510-994) when using Rigid Pipe Flueing Systems. (Metres) 1429mm "THIS UNIT MUST ALWAYS TERMINATE / FLUE DIRECTLY TO THE OUTDOORS." Flue RESTRICTOR SETTING: Flue restrictor factory set at Set 0. Refer to the "Flue Restrictor Position" section for details on how to change the flue restrictor from the factory setting of Set 0 to Set 2 if required.
