  • Page 34 Type C13 Boiler intended for connection to horizontal outlet and intake ducts connected to the outside by means of coaxial or split ducts. The distance between the air intake duct and the flue gas outlet duct is to be a minimum of 50 mm, and both terminals are to be positioned within a squared area having 500 mm sides.
  • Page 35: Ø 100/60 Mm Air/Flue Gas Coaxial Duct System

    In order to ensure that the appliance functions correctly and efficiently, the flue connection between the boiler and the flue terminal must be made using original components specifically designed for condensing boilers. Traditional flue components cannot be used for conveying exhaust fumes from condensing boilers, nor vice versa. It is recommended that: for the exhaust discharge duct, the entire length of the flue slopes upwards towards the exterior in order to facilitate the flow of condensate back to the combustion chamber, which has been specifically designed to collect and drain the acidic condensate;...
