ConnectiontoChimneyFlue
Asinglewallmetalfluepipeissuitableforconnectingthestovetothechimneybutisnotsuitablefor
usingforthecompletechimney.Itisimportantthattheconnectionbetweenthestovespigotand
thefluepipeiseffectivelysealedwith
cementand/orglassfibreropetopreventharmfulgases
leakinginto theroom.Thediameterofthefluespigot(prefibreroped)providedwiththestoveis6”
(150mm)andcanbefittedtotherearorthetopofthestoveandmustbetightlyfittedtothe
opening.Airmustnotbedrawninatthispointasitwillaffectthestovesperformance.Thestove
maybefittedwitha6”(150mm)flue.Togetthebesttransferofheatfromthestoveintotheroom
therearetwofactorstoconsiderwheninstallingintoa
fireplacerecess.
Firstly,thefluepipefromthestovemustpassthrougheitheratoporback‘registerplate’.Atop
registerplateisthetermusedforaflatplatewhichisinstalledinsidethechimney(usuallyoutof
sight)topreventheatintheroombeingdrawnup
thechimneywhenusingthetoporrearflue
outlet.Abackregisterplateisthetermusedforaflatplatewhichisinstalledovertheopeningofthe
fireplacerecesswhenusingtherearflueoutlet.Thisregisterplatemustbemadeofanon‐
combustiblematerialsuchas
steel,asbestolux,ormasterboard.Itisadvisabletosealthisregister
platetothewallsofthechimneyandalsoaroundthefluepipe.Provisionofatrapdoorinthis
closureplateorasootdoorintheflueforaccesstocleanthechimneyfromtimetotime
is
recommended.Whenusingtherearoutletitisadvisabletoinfillthechimneyspaceunderneaththe
outletleveltopreventdebrisfallingintothevoidandbeinginaccessible.Themaximumverticalrun
offluepipeouttherearofthestoveshouldnotexceed150mm.
Secondly,thefurtherforwardthe
stovecanbesitedonthehearth,themoreheatwillberadiated
intotheroom.Toachievethis,thebackflueoutletisfavoured.Rememberthe600mmclearance
distancefromcombustiblematerialsandthe300mmdistancetothefrontofthehearth.
CombustionAirSupply
Inorderforthe
stovetoperformefficientlyandsafelythereshouldbeanadequateairsupplyinto
theroominwhichthestoveisinstalledtoprovidecombustionair.Thisisparticularlynecessaryin
modernhouseswheredraftshavebeenalmosteliminatedbydoubleglazingetc.
Theremustnotbeanextractorfanfitted
inthesameroomasthestoveasthiscancausethestove
toemitfumesintotheroom.Itisnecessarytoinstallawallventtoprovidethenecessary
combustionairandtopreventthedepletionofoxygenintheroom.
