    STRATA3 4.3 flue systems 4.3 flue systems Strata 3 boilers are fully condensing, fully modulating appliances and it is recommended that each boiler is flued independently, however, it is possible to connect multiple boiler flues together providing no part of the common flue pipe is horizontal.
  • Page 9: Hydraulic System Design

    STRATA3 4.5 hydraulic system design The Strata 3 boilers are designed to operate on a flow to return temperature drop of 20K (∆t 20°C). Systems must be sealed and pressurised and operate within the range 0.5 bar to 5.3 bar. The system design should incorporate a pressure gauge, visible from the filling point to indicate the system water pressure.
