4.7 FLUE SYSTEMS AND VENTILATION

4.7.1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
• The installer is responsible for ensuring that the right type of fl ue system is used and that the diameter
and length are correct. For optimal installation, the accessories supplied by Andrews Water Heaters
should ensure that the correct system components are used.
• The coupling and connection methods may vary depending on the manufacturer of the fl ue system. It is
not permitted to combine pipes, coupling and connection methods from diff erent manufacturers. This also
applies to roof feed-throughs and common channels.
• If connecting this heater to an older existing fl ue system, care must be taken to ensure that this system is
of the correct size and specifi cation. If the fl ue system is aluminium, a condensate trap must be fi tted in
the fl ue before it connects to the heater.
• This water heater may not be used in areas where chemical substances are stored or used. Some pro-
pellants, bleaching and cleaning agents disperse explosive vapours and / or cause accelerated corrosion.
Be aware that this water heater may be vulnerable to accelerated corrosion from salty air e.g. coastal
installations
• Refer to the following standards and guidance notes before installing the fl ue system :
BS6644 : Specifi cation for the installation of gas-fi red hot water boilers of rated inputs between
70kW (net) and 1.8MW (net)
IGEM UP 10 : Installation of fl ued gas appliances in industrial and commercial premises
4.7.2 SUITABLE FLUE MATERIAL
When using a fl ue system that has not been supplied by Andrews Water Heaters, make sure that they are
certifi ed for the type and use. Check the text string printed on the fl ue system to ensure the correct materials
are selected. See the example below for guidance:
