ASSEMBLE THE FLUE DUCTS Particular site conditions will dictate the sequence in which the flue is assembled. However, start assembling the flue system at the boiler noting the following:- Cut 85 mm holes for plain flue/air ducts. Cut 100 mm holes for flue/air ducts with connection sockets. Note: All parts of the flue duct must be at least 25 mm from combustible material.
