SIZING

The depression (draught) of a flue depends on its height. Check the depression with the values indicated in the technical characteristics.

The minimum height of the chimney is 3.5 meters.

The interior cross-section of the flue can be round (best), square or rectangular (the ratio between the internal sides must be ≤1.5) with

the sides joined with a minimum radius of 20 mm. The dimension of the cross-section must be minimum Ø100mm.

The cross-sections/lengths of the chimneys shown in the technical data tables are indications for correct installation. Any alternative

configurations must be correctly sized in accordance with the general method of calculation of UNI EN13384-1 or other proven efficiency

methods.

Below is a list of some flues available on the market:

AISI 316 steel chimney with

double chamber insulated

with ceramic fibre or equiva-

lent resistant up to 400°C.

Refractory chimney with

double insulated chamber and

external lightweight concrete

cladding with cellular material

such as clay.

Traditional square-section

clay chimney with insulating

empty inserts.

Avoid products with an

internal rectangular section

where the larger side is 1.5

times the smaller side (e.g.

20x40 or 15x30).
