flue systems concealed in Voids
In accordance with Building Regulations Part J: 2010 and the
Gas Safe Register Technical Bulletin TB 008: For Boiler flue
systems installed within any concealed enclosure (such as
a ceiling space, floor void, or a purpose built enclosure), the
entire flue system should be accessible. This is to allow proper
inspection of the flue to determine that it is continuous and
fully supported throughout its length and all joints are correctly
assembled.
The maximum equivalent flue lengths are stated in the
instructions provided with each appliance. These values must
never be exceeded.

• The flue seals are sensitive to mineral oil based lubricants.
Do not grease the seals. If the seals do need to be lubricated
use only water.
• During the installation of the flue system, ensure that debris
such as mortar, filings or swarf are cleared from the flue
system before completion.
• Inspect the flue pipes before fitting and do not install
damaged or dented flue components.
• When assembling the flue system, ensure that the inner
seals are not damaged, do not install a flue component with
a damaged seal.
• The flue can be installed from inside the building, when
access to the outside wall face is not practicable.
• When extension pipes are used the flue system must be
designed to have a continuous fall to the appliance of at least
2.5° 44mm/metre to allow condensate to run back into the
appliance and out via the condensate drain.
• Long lengths of flues must be secured to the walls or ceilings
they run against. Use at least one fixing bracket for every
flue extension that is used.
• After cutting inner flue pipe ensure that you de-burr and
chamfer the male tube end to prevent damage.
• Inspect the flue pipes before fitting and do not install
damaged or dented flue components.
• When assembling the flue system, ensure that the inner
seals are not damaged, do not install a flue component with
a damaged seal.
• When fitting flue elbows ensure that they are fitted at the
correct angle to avoid strain, this will ensure that the seal fits
correctly preventing leakage.
