COMPONENT ASSEMBLY & CONNECTION ~ ESBEND
ONLY use PVC cement between externally located joints of PVC pipes to secure and seal
these joints against ingress of dust and water. ONLY use non-acidic silicone sealant between
CAUTION
externally located joints of PVC flue pipe and any mating aluminium components (such as the
condensate trap) to secure and seal these joints against ingress of dust and water. Silicone
containing acetic acid, (characteristically having a vinegar odour), as the curing agent or other
acids may cause corrosion of aluminium components and MUST NOT be used.
On "Direct", "Direct Extended" and "External Wall" installations ONLY 2 x ESBEND (2 x 90°)
can be used. On "Sideways", "Under Floor" and "In-Wall" installations ONLY 1 x ESBEND (1
x 90°) can be used.

the supplied silicone based "O Ring" seal lubricant. DO NOT use petroleum based lubricants such as petroleum
jelly. The use of petroleum jelly, vaseline
of the 'O Ring' seals.
2. Fit an ESBEND outer pipe to the outer pipe of the same nominated component.
3. Insert one of plastic centering spacer provided with ESBEND, then
pipe 'O-Ring' and fit to previously fitted inner component.
The centering spacer is a MANDATORY component, that is required for the correct alignment of
Co-axial components when ESBEND kits are used. When fitted correctly the inner and outer pipes
IMPORTANT
of ESBEND will be self centering.
4. Fit a second ESBEND outer pipe to the previously fitted outer component.
5. Insert the remaining plastic centering spacer provided with ESBEND, before connecting further components.
For extended offset installations use the same procedure ensuring centering spacers are inserted as shown.

ingress of dust and water. Silicone containing acetic acid (vinegar) as the curing agent or other
acids may cause corrosion of aluminium components and MUST NOT be used.
