Gas Balanced Flue Guide - Euroheat

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can the stove be flued directly off the back?
A. Yes, using the standard low level horizontal kit.
Q. Can I use a bend directly off the top of the stove?
A. No, the stove adapter is only designed to fit the telescopic starter length and straight lengths, bends will not
seal to the flue outlet.
Q. Can I fit the stove in the corner of a room?
A. Yes, there is no problem in doing this using the top to horizontal flue kit, but it must be remembered that if
the corner is also the corner of the property that the termination must be 600mm from any corner. See diagram
page 5.
Q. Can the vertical flue be passed through a combustible roof, such as a polycarbonate roof in a conservatory?
A. Yes, as long as allowances are made for the type of roofing material and suitable insulation is provided. See
the section on flueing through a combustible roof.
Q. Can the stove be fitted into a bedroom?
A. Yes, the stoves are room sealed and below 14kW input.
Q. Can I cut the lengths of flue pipe?
A. Yes, however the differential between the inner and outer length has to be maintained. It would be preferable
to use an adjustable length
Q. Does the flue terminal need to be guarded?
A. If the flue terminal is to be sited less than two meters above level ground,
a balcony or a flat roof where people have access, a guard must be fitted. Local
by-laws may also require a further minimum height where the terminal is sited
adjoining a public footpath.
Q. If I have a high level horizontal kit can I then terminate it vertically?
A. Yes, there is a vertical terminal with a crimped end which will fit to the
flue system.
Q. Do I need an air brick or other ventilation for supplying free air to the
stove?
A. No, the stove is room sealed and does not have any requirement for free
air.
Q. Does it matter how far out of the wall the terminal is fitted on a horizontal flue kit?
A. Yes, there should be 12mm of flue pipe visible before the start of the flue terminal. Any greater length can
upset the balanced flues operation.
Q. What colours are the flue pipe available in?
A. The flue pipe is supplied in one colour, a matt grey finish, which closely matches the cast finished stoves and
complements the enamel finished stove. It is possible to change the colour using heat resistant paint.
Q. To what wind speed are the terminals tested to?
A. The maximum wind used is 12.5 m/s with 10% error. (28mph).
