Figure 5 gives some examples of execution.
The minimum section must be 4 dm
lower than 200 mm or 6.25 dm
mm.
The draught created by the flue must be sufficient, but not excessive.
A too big flue section can feature a too big volume to be heated and consequently cause difficulties in the
operation of the device; to avoid this, tube the flue along its whole height. A too small section causes a
decrease of the draught.

The flue must be properly spaced from any flammable materials or fuels through a proper
insulation or an air cavity.
It is forbidden to let plant piping or air feeding channels pass in the same flue. Moreover, it is forbidden to
create movable or fixed openings on the same for the connection of further other devices.
