Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation it
is possible that the higher flue gas temperature from a closed appliance may
loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue
blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second time
within a month of regular use after installation.
Typical Rear Flue Installation with clean out door.
Ideally, the old fireplace should be filled in so that there is a smooth streamlined
entry into the flue.
All of the installation must be in accordance with BS 8303 -1994. As long as only
approved clean burn fuels are to be used and the flue draw is recorded as a
minimum of 12 Pascals then a maximum horizontal length of 450mm is permissible
It is essential that all connections between the stove and chimney flue are sealed
and made airtight.
Both chimney and flue pipe must be accessible for cleaning and if ALL parts of the
chimney cannot be reached through the stove, a soot door must be fitted to
enable this to be done.
