Requirements flue system and outlets

− You should always make use of the materials prescribed by AKOS.

− Only use the concentric flue system supplied by AKOS. This system has been tested in

combination with the appliance. We cannot guarantee proper and safe functioning of other

systems in unit, nor can we accept any responsibility or liability for using such a system.

− The outside of the concentric flue material can reach a temperature of approximately 150°C. Make

sure of proper insulation and protection in case of transit through combustible wall or ceiling

construction, while observing sufficient distance.

− Make sure that the concentric flue materials are bracketed every 2 meters when they have an

extended length, so that the weight of the flue material is not resting on the appliance itself.

− You may never start with a cut-down concentric pipe directly on to the appliance.

− Maintain a distance of at least a distance of 50[mm] between the outside of the concentric flue

system and the walls and/or ceiling. Make sure to use noncombustible, heat resistant materials,

especially when passing through combustible materials.

− When sealing the wall terminal orifice with a rossete, first apply a sufficiently large enough heat-

resistant, noncombustible, insulating material sheet to the wall, and then apply the rosette upon the

intermediate sheet.

Terminals

− The flue outlet can end on an external wall or a roof. Check whether the outlet desired by you

complies with local requirements concerning good function and ventilation systems.

The terminal outlet must not be obstructed. If the flue terminal is within 2 meters of a footway

path or where people could come into contact with it, then consider using an appropriate

terminal guard.

Terminals located near locations of footpaths and walkways and similar locations could be

subject to legal regulations and limits and this fact should be pointed out to the customer

before installation.

Avoid locating terminals close to plastic materials such as gutters or other combustibles. If

you can't avoid it then a suitable deflector should be made.

For a proper functioning the terminals should be at least 0.5[m] away from the following

things:

▪

Building corners

▪

Bellow eaves.

▪

Balconies, unless the duct is extended to the front side of the overhanging part.

▪

The roof mounted terminal has to be at a distance of 0.5 meters of the sides of the roof,

not counting the ridge.

− For a proper functioning the terminal should be at least 0.5 m. away from:

•

Corners of the building.

•

Roof overhangs and balconies.

•

Eaves (with the exception of the roof ridge).

Existing chimney

− You can also connect the appliance to an existing chimney. The existing chimney will function as an

air supply and a flexible stainless steel pipe drawn up through the chimney will remove the

combustion gas, while the surrounding space is used to supply combustion air.
