GENERAL

CERTIFIED FLUE SYSTEMS

Lochinvar Water Heaters are certified for use on the following flue categories:

Installation typeCategoryDescription
 

B23

 

Open flue

An appliance intended to be connected to a flue that evacuates the products of combustion to the outside of the room containing the appliance. The combustion air is drawn directly from the room.
C13Closed FlueAn appliance connected to either a concentric or twin-pipe flue system with a Horizontal flue terminal. Both the air inlet and flue exhaust must be in the same pressure zone.
C33Closed FlueAn appliance connected to either a concentric or twin-pipe flue system with a Vertical flue terminal. Both the air inlet and flue exhaust must be in the same pressure zone.
 

C43

 

Closed Flue

An appliance connected to a common air inlet and flue exhaust system, which is designed for more than one appliance. This common system has a single air inlet and flue exhaust and is part of the building not the appliance.
C53Closed FlueAn appliance connected to a twin-pipe flue system with a Horizontal or Vertical flue terminal. Both air inlet and flue exhaust may be in different pressure zones.
 

C63

 

Closed Flue

An appliance intended to be connected to a separately approved and marketed system for the supply of combustion air and discharge of combustion products (i.e. other than that supplied by the water heater manufacturer).

All installations should comply with the requirements of:

  1. For appliances up to 70kW net input- BS5440-1:2008- Flueing and ventilation for gas appliances of rated input not exceeding 70 kW net (1st, 2nd and 3rd family gases). Specification for installation of gas appliances to chimneys and for maintenance of chimneys.
    1. Refer to drawing 1 and table 1 for details of terminal locations.
  2. For appliances over 70kW net input- IGEM/UP/10 Edition 4 +A: 2016 – Installation of flued gas appliances in industrial and commercial premises, specific attention should be paid to the following sections.
    1. Refer to drawing 1 and table 1 for details of terminal locations.
    2. Horizontal terminations shall be located according to the minimum distances given in table 1, and subject to the risk assessment criteria shown in table 2.
    3. Horizontal flue terminations (other than for fan dilution systems) must not be installed for any single appliance or group of appliances with a total nett input exceeding 333kW net heat input.
    4. For any single appliance or group of appliances with a total net heat input exceeding 333 kW, the general requirements of IGEM/UP/10 Edition 4 +A: 2016 shall apply and approval must be sought from the Local Authority prior to commencement of the installation.
  3. The Clean Air Act for installations exceeding 333kW nett input.

distances shown ensure the Water Heaters will operate without problems under most conditions, these distances can be reduced in certain circumstances contact Lochinvar Technical support for assistance if required.

multiple Water Heater installation above 333kW nett input are covered by the clean air act and must comply with its requirements
# see UP10 figure 7 for full clarification

TABLE 2 RISK ASSESMENT
The table below is an excerpt from IGEMUP10 and should be used in conjunction with that document

Further to the requirements in IGEM/UP/10 Edition 4 +A: 2016 Section 8 under clause 8.7.3.3 and Figure 7 the following risk assessment gives guidance for the positioning of horizontal flues. This form should be completed before work commences and undertaken by a person who is competent to undertake the risk assessment.

Type C appliances with net heat input exceeding 70 kW and not exceeding 333 kW low level flue discharge risk assessment (including net heat input for groups of appliances)
No.Regarding the flue positionNoYes
 

1

Is the proposed flue termination within the distance in Figure K of a road, path, track, thoroughfare, walkway, property boundary or area, which is used for general

public access other than for maintenance purposes?

 

No

 

Yes

2Is the proposed flue termination within the distance in Figure K to a playground, school, yard, seating area, or area where there may be a public gatheringNoYes
3If the proposed flue termination enclosed on more than two sides then does it comply with the requirements of Figure 11B?NoYes
 

4

Is the proposed flue termination within the distance in Figure K of a surface or building element that may be affected by corrosion or deterioration from plume

condensate?

 

No

 

Yes

5Is the proposed flue position in an area where vehicles could be parked within distances from Figure 12 Line G to the flue?NoYes
6Are there shrubs or trees within minimum distances shown on Figure K of the proposed terminal position?NoYes
7Is the proposed flue termination within a light well?NoYes
 

8

Are the products of combustion from the proposed flue position likely to build up under unfavourable atmospheric conditions, due to poor cross flow of air caused by enclosures or adjacent structures and/or likely to cause nuisance? 

No

 

Yes

9Is the flue termination position likely to cause a nuisance to adjoining properties?NoYes
Building Regulations part J
10Is the proposed flue termination less than 300 mm from the boundary of the property, as measured from the side of the terminal to the boundary?NoYes
Regarding the Clean Air Act
11Is the total output of the individual, or group of flue terminals (if within 5U (see A3.7)), greater than 333 kW net heat input?NoYes
General
12Are there any other considerations that are required for this risk assessment, see separate sheet.NoYes
13Comments:
If all answers are Blue then the flue position should be suitable
If any answer is Orange then the flue position is unsuitable, consider revising the position or type of flue outlet or contact the local Environmental Health officer for assistance and/or approval

COMMON FLUE SYSTEMS

Any installations using flue type C63 must be designed and installed in compliance with any local Building or planning regulations, but as these systems use a flue system not supplied by Lochinvar, Lochinvar cannot comment / advise or provide support on the design of this type of flue system. To design such a flue system, the installer/contractor must consult a specialist flue supplier who will be responsible for the design and installation of the separate flue system. When designing the type C63 flue system, the instructions in the Installation Manual, provided with the water heater, must be taken into account. Lochinvar will provide pressure loss figures for the specific units, but other than that, Lochinvar cannot provide support on Common Flue requests because flue certification is limited to the certified categories in the table on page 2. Lochinvar cannot accept any responsibility for Flue system design.
