FlueHeightRequirements
Your flue must extend the required height
aboveyourrooftopromotesufficientdraught.
Iftheflueisnothighenough,theheaterwillnot
draw properly causing smoke to spill back
intotheroom.
Theminimumheightoftheactivefluemustbe
4.6minlengthmeasuredfromthehearthplate
to the flue termination point. The flue must
extend at least 1m out of the roof. The flue
mustclearanyridgeorobstructionwithina3m
radiusbyaminimumof1m.
Forverysteeproofs(45°orsteeper)itisoften
impracticaltogetabovethehighestpoint.The
useofananti-downdraftcowlisadvisable.
Onflatroofs,thefluemustextendaminimum
of1.5m.
There are other variables that can affect
draught(eg treesor tallbuildingsnearby). If
youhavethecorrectflueheightandstillhave
problems,consultyourdealer.
