I believe to be a latin term for a contract.

Thank you in advance.

Explanation:
Hello. A 'flue' can be un 'humero', that is, a smokeduct in a chimney, but it can also be other ducts for exit of hot gases or a kind of tubes for water-heating or organ flue-pipe airways. Can't tell more for you don't specify. It's not Latin but Lower Middle English of unknown origin. The 'contract' bit had me buffled for a while until I found the two links below, related to different kinds of contract. First one (a Contract of Deed) says: "...the current owner (must) bring the house up to code before the house can be sold...heating : no rusty heat exchangers or flues". For an all-encompassing term I'd go for "conductos" but check out links. Cheers :)
