This part of BS 5440 specifies requirements for the installation of gas appliances to chimneys, chimney installation work likely to be undertaken by gas engineers and operatives working under UK gas industry conditions and requirements for the maintenance of chimneys. It is applicable to open flue chimneys for Type B gas appliances and room-sealed chimney configurations for Type C gas appliances, each of rated input not exceeding 70 kW net (see Note 2 and Note 3), burning 1st, 2nd or 3rd family gases. It applies to chimneys of the natural draught or fanned draught type and is applicable to open flue chimneys and room-sealed chimneys supplied with the appliance as well as to those supplied separately.<\/p>\n
\nNOTE 1 Type B and Type C appliances are explained in Table A.1.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It complements the requirements for the design, installation and commissioning of chimneys as required in BS EN 15287-1 and BS EN 15287-2 and requires extra details that are specific to the UK gas industry. This is kept in perspective by quoting some details of BS EN 15287-1 and BS EN 15287-2.<\/p>\n
It specifies the following:<\/p>\n
\n
- requirements for the selection of the appropriate flueing option for gas appliances in the UK;<\/li>\n
- requirements for the installation of gas appliances to new chimneys, or chimney configurations;<\/li>\n
- requirements for the installation of gas appliances to existing chimneys or chimney configurations;<\/li>\n
- requirements for the installation of appliances which carry a CE mark and for which the manufacturer\u2019s instructions are available to the installer;<\/li>\n
- requirements installation of appliances which do not carry a CE mark and used\/second-hand appliances for which the manufacturer\u2019s instructions are available to the installer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This part of BS 5440 is applicable to:<\/p>\n
\n
- complete chimney and all chimney components from the appliance connection to the discharge point into outside air;<\/li>\n
- the installation of gas appliances to existing chimneys that were intended originally for appliances burning other fuels;<\/li>\n
- chimneys for residential park homes but not to chimneys for leisure accommodation vehicles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This part of BS 5440 is not applicable to gas-fired incinerators. Refer to BS 5871-3 for the installation of decorative fuel effect appliances.<\/p>\n
This part of BS 5440 includes compatibility of appliances installed in the UK with new chimneys designated under BS EN 1443 and with existing chimneys, including non-designated chimneys.<\/p>\n
\nNOTE 2 In the case of an individual appliance connected to a chimney the 70 kW maximum rated input relates to that appliance. In the case of more than one appliance in the same room connected to a single chimney the 70 kW maximum rated input relates to the sum of the rated inputs of all the appliances. In the case of appliances in separate dwellings connected to a shared flue in a chimney, e.g. a SE-duct or a U-duct, the 70 kW maximum rated input relates to the rated input of each individual appliance.<\/i><\/p>\n
NOTE 3 Installation of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) systems in leisure accommodation vehicles is specified in BS EN 1949 and further guidance is given in the Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers publication IGE\/UP\/8 [9].<\/i><\/p>\n
NOTE 4 Installation of gas-fired hot water boilers having rated inputs exceeding 70 kW is specified in BS 6644.<\/i><\/p>\n
NOTE 5 The data in this British Standard refers to heat input expressed in terms of net calorific values (CV) with conversion given for natural gas gross CV quoted in brackets where appropriate. The ratio of gross heat input: net heat input is approximately 1.1:1 for natural gas propane and butane. For example, conversion of 9 kW input based on gross CV for natural gas to the equivalent net CV input is as follows: net input = 9.0\/1.1 = 8.2 kW.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

c) any surplus jointing material projecting into or deposited in the flue is removed during installation;
d) the additional guidance given in D.2 to D.9 is followed.
D.2 Design considerations
a) The flue should take the most direct practicable route from the appliance to the outlet. Where practical an essentially vertical route from the appliance to the outlet is desirable with the minimum of inclined runs of flue (see 6.1.4).
b) The layout of the flue should be designed to avoid affecting or cutting into supporting joists, beams, roof timbers and any other load bearing elements of the building.
c) A minimum of 600 mm of vertical flue directly above the appliance connection or the recess created by the starter and cover gas flue blocks should be provided.
d) The gas flue block system should have an equivalent height at least equal to that required for the appliance to be connected to the flue system, as recommended in this British Standard.
e) When a gas flue block system is to be connected to a terminal using a flue pipe system the recommendations given in D.8 should be followed.
f) When using bonded gas flue blocks, the design and installation should take into account the height of the starter block and the height of the lintel block, to ensure that the gas flue blocks above align with and bond into the masonry courses. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n 106<\/td>\n g) The layout of the complete flue from the outlet of the appliance to the outlets should be designed to meet the flue requireme…

c) Non-bonded gas flue blocks or blocks designed to be built free-standing or against a wall should be properly supported or tied into adjacent walls in accordance with the flue manufacturer\u2019s installation instructions.
d) Inclined sections of flue should only be made using the appropriate offset gas flue blocks.
e) The gas flue blocks should be laid and jointed in accordance with the flue manufacturer\u2019s installation instructions, which might specify assembly with the spigot or socket of the block being uppermost.

c) The flue pipe system should be installed and supported in accordance with the flue pipe manufacturer\u2019s installation instructi…
d) The flue pipe system should generally be installed at an angle not more than 45\u02da from the vertical (see 6.1.4).
e) If adjustable bends are used care should be taken to ensure that they are not strained such as to cause damage or structural breakdown of the internal wall of the flue.
f) Flue pipe system components should not be cut unless specifically permitted in the manufacturer\u2019s installation instructions.
g) All joints should be checked to ensure that they are securely made and any components that are damaged, particularly at the joints or in the flue are not used. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n 114<\/td>\n D.9 Checking the gas flue blocks during and after installation
a) Ensure that all the gas flue blocks, including any starter and lintel blocks are in good condition and installed correctly.

a) That the gas flue blocks, and if used the flue pipe system, have been installed correctly to the required layout to create a continuous flue to the outlet.
