We recommend that your heating engi-
neer carries out a simple leak/tightness
test during the commissioning of your
system. For this, it would be sufficient to
check the CO or O concentration in the
2 2
combustion air at the annular gap of the
balanced flue pipe.
The flue pipe is deemed to be gas-tight
if the CO concentration in the combus-
2
tion air is no higher than 0.2 % or the
O concentration is at least 20.6 %.

If actual CO values are higher or O
2
ues are lower, then pressure test the flue
pipe with a static pressure of 200 Pa.
