• The flue must be fitted and terminated in
accordance with the recommendations of
BS5440 : Part 1.
• The flue must not cause an obstruction.
• Discharge and any noise from the flue outlet
must not cause a nuisance.
• Flue gases have a tendency to plume and in
certain weather conditions a white plume of
condensation will be discharged from the flue
outlet. This could be a nuisance, for example,
near security lighting.
• The air inlet/outlet duct and the terminal of
the boiler must not be closer than 25mm to
any combustible material.
Detailed recommendations on protection of
combustible materials are given in
BS 5440:1.
• A protective terminal guard must be fitted if
the terminal is 2m or less above a surface
to which people have access.
The guard must be spaced equally (minimum
50mm) around the flue and fixed to the wall
with plated screws.

FLUE OPTIONS
• The diagrams (opposite) show the
components used and the maximum flue
length for each configuration of 100mm and
125mm flues.
• Shaded flue components indicate the
standard 100mm horizontal flue.
• Only straight flue sections can be reduced in
length and cut.
• The flue terminal end can be fitted from the
inside or outside of the building.
• Fixing kits are supplied with the flue extension
kits.
• Horizontal 125mm and Vertical 100mm and
125mm flue kits are available with separate
instructions. Contact your supplier or
Worcester Bosch.
A - Standard horizontal flue (100mm diameter
shown)
B - Straight flue extension
C - Flue bend 90°
D - Flue bend, 45°
E - Vertical terminal (vertical adaptor supplied
with terminal)
F - Vertical adaptor (used with horizontal
terminal)
Calculating the flue length:
Measure the total flue length required, noting
that the maximum straight flue length including
the terminal is:
Horizontal 60/100mm: 4600mm
Horizontal 80/125mm: 13000mm
Vertical 60/100mm: 6400mm
Vertical 80/125mm: 15000mm
Then reduce the total straight flue length for
each extra flue bend (excluding the flue elbow)
by:
2000mm for 90°
1000mm for 45°
Flue Extension lengths:
Horizontal & Vertical 60/100mm: 960mm
Horizontal & Vertical 80/125mm: 1000mm
Flue Terminal lengths:
Horizontal 60/100mm: 800mm including terminal
Horizontal 80/125mm: 1200mm
Vertical 60/100mm: 1140mm to top of terminal
Vertical 80/125mm: 1365mm to top of terminal

D - Bottom panel
E - Wall mounting frame
F - Wall template ( in wall frame protective wrapping)
G - Inner packaging
IMPORTANT HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
• It is advised that two people are used to carry
the carton from the van to the point of delivery.
• Once the carton has been delivered, the outer
carton is removed first. Care should be taken
when releasing the straps. If a sharp implement
is used make sure the outer carton is not
pierced and that the implement is used in such
a way so that it may not cause personal injury.
All sharp objects must be covered or the blade
retracted after use and put away in a safe
place. The wall mounting frame, Installer
pack, template and bottom panel are now
removed. Care should be taken when lifting the
boiler from the base and the proper technique
for safe lifting of any heavy object should be
strictly observed.
Additional requirements for roof space
installation:
• The boiler should be first unpacked before
ascending ladder to loft space.
• Two sets of steps should be used.
• Two people should share the lifting of the
boiler up to the loft hatch, where the boiler is
entered into the loft space tilted and slid on its
back into the loft.
Once the appliance is removed from its
packaging check the contents against the
packing list.
Before installing appliance ensure system has
been cleaned as explained on page 8.
1. Remove straps (A) and open the top of the
boiler packaging.
2. Remove template (F) and wall mounting
frame (E) from the packaging.
3. Remove boiler bottom panel (D) and
installer pack (C).
UNPACKING WALL FRAME AND
ANCILLARY ITEMS
LIFTING AND CARRYING PRECAUTIONS:
• Lift only a manageable weight, or ask for
help.
• When lifting or putting things down, bend
the knees, and keep the back straight
and feet apart.
• Do not lift and twist at the same time.
• Lift and carry objects close to the body

SAFETY:
All relevant safety precautions must be undertaken.
Protective clothing, footwear, gloves and safety
goggles must be worn as appropriate.
FIXING THE MOUNTI NG FRAME:
• The boiler template shows the relative
positions of the flue and the top and bottom
fixing of the mounting frame.
Fix the template to the wall in the desired
position (A).
Drill 4 holes for the wall mounting frame
through the template (2).
NOTE: The template has been sized to allow for
minimum clearances of 5mm sides, 200mm
base and 30mm above a Ø100mm flue elbow.
REAR FLUE OUTLET
• The drawing (B) opposite shows the boiler
template with the flue centre lines of both the
100mm and 125mm flue systems.
Mark centreline of flue to be used (1) the
external diameter of the hole can also be
marked if required.
• If a Ø100mm diameter flue is to be used,
a125mm diameter hole is required. However, if
using the weather sealing collar by pushing it
through from inside the property, then a
150mm diameter hole is required to
accommodate this.
• The terminal section of the 100mm flue has an
inbuilt 3° angle.
If extensions are to be added then the complete
flue must rise at an angle of 3°.
• The 125mm Ø flue system will require the flue
to rise at an angle of 3°.
Drill hole using a core drill or similar.
SIDE OUTLET:
Mark from the centre line of the wall template
to the wall which the flue will pass through (3).
Allow for a rise of 52mm per metre length of
flue, to give a 3° angle.
Clear any debris from the site.
CAUTION: Ensure there are no pipes,
electric cables, damp proof courses or
other hazards before drilling.
