Risk of corrosion in the flue system
Sprays, solvents or cleaning agents, paints and adhesives
may contain substances which, if the boiler is operating
under the most unfavourable conditions, can cause corro-
sion in the flue system.
> Use only the appropriate Vaillant components when
installing the flue system.
> Keep the combustion air that is drawn into the boiler
free of chemicals that contain substances such as fluo-
rine, chlorine or sulphur.
Use of tools
Unsuitable tools and/or improper use of tools can cause
damage (e.g. to casing panels or system components).
Always use screwdrivers and spanners (open-ended) of the
correct size when undoing or tightening screws, nuts and
bolts. Do not use pipe wrenches, extensions, etc.
Distance from adjacent components
The air/flue pipe operates at a very low temperature, which
means that there is no minimum clearance required
between the air pipe and adjacent supply lines.
2.3 Regulations
Installation of the gas-fired wall-hung boiler and its air/flue
pipe must conform to the Gas Safety Regulations (Installa-
tion and Use) 1998, the Building Regulations and BS 5440
Part 1.
2.4 Intended
use
Vaillant air/flue pipe systems are constructed using state-
of-the-art technology in accordance with recognised safety
regulations. Nevertheless, there is still a risk of injury or
death to the system operator or others or of damage to the
products and other property in the event of improper use
or use for which the products are not intended.
The Vaillant air/flue pipe systems described in this manual
may only be used in conjunction with the appliance types
specified in this manual.
Any use other than or beyond that specified constitutes
improper use and nullifies any responsibility or liability
whatsoever on the part of the manufacturer/supplier for
resulting loss or damage. In such cases, the risk is borne
solely by the person carrying out the work and the
user.
Intended use includes the following:
– observing the operating, installation and maintenance
instructions supplied for the Vaillant product and any
other parts and components of the system
– installing and fitting the product in accordance with the
appliance and system approval
– complying with all of the inspection and maintenance
conditions listed in the instructions.

The Vaillant ecoTEC gas-fired wall-hung boilers are certified
in accordance with the EC Gas Appliance Directive 90/396/
EEC or 2009/142/EC as heating boiler systems with associ-
ated flue systems. This Installation Manual is a component

Danger!
Vaillant appliances are certified only for
use with genuine Vaillant flue pipes.
Malfunctions can occur if you use other
accessories. These may result in damage
and injury. You will find a list of genuine
flue pipes in the Vaillant installation manual
for flue pipes. The CE mark is valid only if
the appliance is operated with Vaillant flue
pipes.
> Only use genuine
Vaillant flue pipes.
