DF Series Flue Selection Guide
The flue pathway will be from the fire to the powerflue terminal, and can be
vertical or horizontal, or a combination of both. This may be through a
cavity, a floor, a mid-floor, a roof, to the side of the fire, a purpose built
chimney cavity or combination of these options. The total flue run may be made
of Standard Flue Kits, Masonry Flue Kits, Flexi-Flue Extension Kits and
PolyPro flue extensions. When selecting the flue system for a DF Series Fire
follow the procedure over the page.
- Maximum Flue Run = 40m.
- Uninsulated DF700,
- DF960 or DF990
- Insulated DF700,
- DF960 or DF990
- Masonry DF700, DF960 or DF990 *
Flue Pathway Options
Notes:
- Total flue bends per developed flue length = 10 (maximum x4 in any PolyPro Length).
- A flue run below the fire must not exceed 1500mm vertically downwards.
- Where a Flexible Flue Extension Kit is used beyond the 4m Standard Flue Kit, insulation may be required. Insulated flue requirements: Minimum R-Value = 1.45 and service temperature to be 230 Deg C.
- Masonry Flue must be a fully vertical flue pathway only and in a sealed timber framed or masonry chimney.
- Where PolyPro Extended Flue components are used, an exhaust condensate trap is required.
- In all instances the flue fan (located in the flue terminal) must be accessible for servicing.
- Fireplace Selection Select the Escea D-Series Gas Fire that meets your design and space requirements. Contact the Escea Architectural Advisory Team for assistance with any fireplace or flue specification – aa@escea.com
- Flue Pathway Using the example building below as a guide, choose the location of the flue terminal* (roof or wall cowl) and establish the expected flue pathway in your building. The flue pathway will be from the fire to the powerflue terminal, and can be vertical or horizontal, or a combination of both. This may be through a cavity, a floor, a mid-floor, a roof, to the side of the fire or any combination of these options.
- Flue Length Calculate the total flue length that the flue pipes are likely to follow in your building. Include bends and offsets in your total length. Allow for some installation tolerance by adding 10% to the total flue run calculation.
- Flue System Selection With your fire selected, flue terminal located, flue pathway and length established, refer to the accompanying Flue Selection Guide (DS, DF, DL or DX Series) to determine the flue system options to achieve the complete flue run from fire to the flue terminal. This may require multiple flue kits.
- The installation and final location of the flue terminal must comply with the relevant Escea Installation Instructions and AS/NZS5601 Gas Installations. These provide guidance for clearances from the flue terminal to other elements of the building. Non-compliance to these clearances may decrease performance of the fire or flue, and/or pose a safety risk to the building users.
