Appliance connection to the ue and fuel products evacuation.
The ue must receive the discharge from only one heat generator.
The direct discharge towards closed spaces is forbidden, even with
clear sky.
The direct discharge of the fuel products must be at roof and the
smoke pipe must have the features provided in the "Chimney or
individual ue" section.
CHIMNEY CAP4.3.3.
The chimney cap must comply with the following requisites:
have an internal section equivalent to that of the chimney;
have useful outlet section not lower than double the chimney
internal section;
be built in order to avoid rain, snow, foreign bodies
penetrating the chimney and so that, in the event of winds in
any direction and inclination, the discharge of the fuel products
is assured.
be positioned in a way to guarantee an adequate dispersion
and dilution of the combustion products and, however, outside
the re ux area in which the formation of counterpressures
occurs. Such area has di erent dimensions and con guration
depending on the covering inclination angle. It is therefore
necessary to adopt the minimum heights indicated in the gure
layouts below.
The chimney cap must not have mechanical intake means.

CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL AIR 4.4.
INLETS
The appliance must be able to use the necessary air to guarantee
regular functioning through external air inlet. The air inlets must
comply with the following requisites:
have a total free section of at least 80 cm.
must be protected by grates, metal net or suitable protections
as long as they do not reduce the minimum section stated in
the previous point and positioned in order to avoid them being
obstructed.
If the combustion agent air is withdrawn directly from outside
through a pipe, a downward bend must be mounted outside
or a protection against the wind and no grates or similar must
be positioned, (it is recommended that the air vent always
communicates directly with the installation room even if the air is
