1.8 Minimum safety distances
Install the product in compliance with the recommended safety dis-
tances from heat sensitive or infl ammable materials and not infl am-
mable, from load bearing and other walls and also from wooden
e
lements, furniture, etc.
In the case of fl ooring that is heat sensitive or infl ammable the fl oor
must be protected with non-combustible insulating material, e.g.
sheets of steel plate, marble, tiles, etc.
The minimum distances are:
Keep any combustible product such as wooden furniture, cur-
tains, carpets, combustible liquids, etc. well away from the
stove when it is lit (minimum distance 100 cm).

1.9 Connection to the flue
Two elbows at the most may be used in connecting the stove to the
flue, with a change in direction of no less than 90° and the length of
the horizontal section of flue pipe not exceeding 2 m. Figures 17-18-
19.
The pipe assembly must be as short as possible, without constric-
tions and made in material resistant to corrosion by combustion
gases and to temperatures of 550-600° C.
It is advisable to use Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A. pipes and elbows for
connection to the flue, since the appliance flue collar is sized for in-
sertion of these. Furthermore, the elbows have an inspection door
allowing control, cleaning and maintenance of the system.
Other pipes may also be applied after adaptation and checking that
the coupling is compatible, taking into account that the pipes and el-
bows must be made in compliance with current regulations. In this
case, however, Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A. only guarantees trouble-free
operation for its own products used in accordance with instructions.
If elbows are used, if the flue pipe assembly does not rise up straight,
attention must be paid to checking that the connection can withstand
the overhead weight and does not require suitable supporting sys-
tems.
