Escea DF Series User guide

  • Hello! I'm your chat assistant. I've reviewed the Escea DF Series Flue Selection Guide. This document provides information on selecting the correct flue system for DF Series Gas Fires, including details on the maximum flue run, pathway options, and insulation requirements. I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about the flue system for your DF Series fire.
  • What is the maximum total flue run?
    How many flue bends are allowed?
    Is there a limit for the flue run below the fire?
Flue Pathway Options:
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.
Masonry Flue Kit
Masonry Flue Extension Kit
•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.

DF Series Flue Selection Guide
2Flue 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.
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.

4Flue 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.
