Table 10: Maximum flue length
To calculate the effective flue length:
B Check the flue path and consider the following:
– number of 90° and 45° elbows required outside
the chimney
– number of bends in the flexible liner
B Deduct the effective length of each elbow from the
maximum horizontal flue length of 3m.
90° 2m
45° 1m

B Deduct the effective lengths of each bend from the
maximum vertical flue length (Lvmax) of 12m.
