    ARENA 30 A 2.10 Flues Arena is a type-C boiler with forced draught, the air inlet and the flue gas outlet must be connected to one of the exhaust–intake systems indicated as follows. Using the tables and the methods of calculation described, first verify, before installation, that the flues do not exceed the maximum allowed length.
  • Page 19 ARENA 30 A To locate the centre of the hole for the passage of the pipes in the wall, refer to Fig. 14: Fig. 14 Please consider that the horizontal concentric piping must have a slope towards the boiler of at least 3 mm/ m, to allow the condensation which forms in the flues to flow back to the boiler, and avoid external dripping.
  • Page 20: Connection To Separate Pipes

    ARENA 30 A 2.12 Connection to separate pipes The separate Ø60 pipes for air intake and flue gas exhaust can be connected directly to the boiler, as shown in Fig. 16a. Separate Ø80 pipes can be connected directly, once the two 80/60 (optional) reducers have been fitted inside the boiler (Fig.
