3.4 Connecting the Flue

Flue System
The provision for satisfactory flue termination must be made
as described in BS 5440-1.
The appliance must be installed so that the flue terminal is
exposed to outdoor air.
The terminal must not discharge into another room or space
such as an outhouse or lean-to.
It is important that the position of the terminal allows a free
passage of air across it at all times.
The terminal should be located with due regard for the da-
mage or discolouration that might occur on buildings in the
vicinity, it must also be located in a place not likely to cause
nuisance.
In cold or humid weather water vapour may condense on lea-
ving the flue terminal.
The effect of such “steaming” must be considered. Fig. 3.13
If the terminal is less than 2 metres above a balcony, above
ground or above a flat roof to which people have access, then
a suitable stainless steel terminal guard must be fitted. - A Directly below an opening, window, etc 300 mm

exhaust manifold and secure with the clamp, fit the vertical
adaptor onto the vertical starter kit (note: there is no need
to use a clamp to secure this as it is a push fit connection),
the vertical flue kit must then be inserted through the roof

lengths, they must be connected directly to the vertical starter
kit before connecting the adaptor to allow the vertical flue
kit to be fitted. In the event that extension pieces need to be
shortened, they must only be cut at the male end and it must
be ensured that the inner and outer flue remain flush.

When utilising the vertical flue system, action must be taken

to ensure that the flue is supported adequately to prevent the
weight being transferred to the appliance flue connection by
using 1 flue bracket per extension.

When the flue passes through a ceiling or wooden floor, there

must be an air gap of 25mm between any part of the flue system
and any combustible material. The use of a ceiling plate will
facilitate this. Also when the flue passes from one room to
another a fire stop must be fitted to prevent the passage of
smoke or fire, irrespective of the structural material through
which the flue passes.

 3. installation

3.4.4 Fitting the Twin Pipe (Ø80 / 80) It is not possible to terminate concentrically horizontally.
Termination is only possible with separate air and exhaust
terminals.

When siting the twin flue pipe, the air intake and exhaust
terminals must terminate on the same wall, the centres of the
terminals must be a minimum of 280 mm apart and the air
intake must not be sited above the exhaust terminal (refer to
Fig. 10). The air intake pipe can be run horizontally, however,
the terminal and the final 1 metre of flue must be installed
either horizontally or with a slight fall away from the boiler to
avoid rain ingress.

It is also strongly recommended that the air intake pipe run be

constructed of insulated pipe to prevent condense forming on
the outside of the tube.

The maximum permissible flue length for twin flue is

dependent on the type of run used (see table on page 24).

For further information relating to flue runs not illustrated,

please contact the Technical Department on 0870 241 8180.

Fig. 3.22

Note: See table for maximum and minimum flue runs.

Where it is not possible to terminate the flue within the

distance permitted for coaxial flues, the twin flue pipe can
be used by fitting a special adaptor to the flue connector and
using the aperture for the air intake located on top of the
combustion chamber.

Always ensure that the flue is adequately supported, using one

flue bracket per extension and avoiding low points. (ARISTON
supply suitable clamps as Part No. 705778).
To utilise the air intake it is necessary to:

1) Take the air intake cover off the top of the appliance
2) Assemble the flange on the header supplied with the boiler
3) Insert the header on the tube or the elbow up until the lower
stop (you do not have to use the washer).
4) Insert the elbow/header in the boiler air intake hole and
fasten it with screws.

The twin flue pipes can be fitted with or without additional

elbows and need no clamps, simply ensure that the red o-ring
is inserted in the female end of the flue pipe and push the
extension piece fully into the previous section of flue pipe or
elbow, check that the o-ring is not dislodged when assembling
the flue (greasing the seal will aid assembly).

Twin pipe can also be converted back to Coaxial flue to enable

vertical termination with a coaxial kit by using the pipe bridge
(Twin - Coaxial Adaptor - Part No. 3318089). When running
the twin flue pipe vertically.

For coaxial systems, the maximum development value,

mentioned in the table below also takes into account an elbow.
For twin flue systems the maximum development value,
mentioned in the table includes the exhaust gas/air intake
terminal.

Type 5 outlets should respect the following instructions:

1- Use the same ø 80 mm flue pipes for the air intakes and
exhaust gas ducts.
2- If you need to insert elbows in the air intake and exhaust
gas ducts, you should consider for each one the equivalent
length to be included in the calculation of developed
length.
3- The exhaust gas duct should jut above the roof by at least
0.5 m.
4- The intake and exhaust gas ducts in Type C13 + C53 must
be installed on the same wall, or where the exhaust is
vertical and the air intake horizontal, the terminals must
be on the same side of the building.

5.5 Anti-frost Device.
The anti-frost function acts on the central heating flow
temperature probe, independently from other operations,
when the electrical supply is turned on.
If the primary circuit temperature is between 3°C and 8°C the
pump will run (with the diverter valve switching between central
heating and hot water every 1 minute) until the temperature
reaches > 9°C.
If the flow temperature remains
between 3°C and 8°C the pump will
continue to run for a maximum of
20 minutes unless a temperature
above > 9°C is detected in the
central heating flow, after this the
the burner will fire (heating position)
until a temperature of > 30°C is detected.
If the central heating flow
temperature is < 3°C, the burner will
fire (heating position) at minimum
power until the temperature
reaches > 30°C, the burner will go
out.
If lockout is caused by overheat the
burner will not fire but the pump will continue to run (heating
position).
The anti-frost device activates only when (with the boiler
operating correctly):
- the system pressure is correct;
- the boiler is electrically powered;
- there is a supply of gas.
