THE REGINALD SOLID FUEL CENTRAL HEATING STOVE
INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
When installing, operating and maintaining your
Reginald Stove respect basic standards of fire safe-
ty. Read these instructions carefully before com-
mencing the installation. Failure to do so may result
in damage to persons and property. Consult your
local Municipal office and your insurance represen-
tative to determine what regulations are in force.
Save these instructions for future reference.
Please note that it is a legal requirement under
England & Wales Building Regulations that the
installation of the stove is either carried out under
Local Authority Building Control approval or is
installed by a Competent Person registered with a
Government approved Competent Persons
Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a scheme and a
listing of their Registered Competent Persons can
be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.
Special care must be taken when installing the stove
such that the requirements of the Health & Safety at
Work Act are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading,
unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should
not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In
case of contact with the skin wash immediately with
plenty of water.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possi-
bility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation then please seek specialist guidance and
use appropriate protective equipment.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove care should
be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.
“IMPORTANT WARNING”
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that
serves any other heating appliance.

The complete installation must be done in accor-
dance with current Standards and Local Codes. It
should be noted that the requirements and these
publications may be superseded during the life of
this manual.
Please refer to the current standards, BS EN 15287-
1:2007 Design, Installation and Commissioning of
chimneys. BS EN 14336:2004: Heating Systems in
Buildings. Installation & Commissioning of Water
Based Heating Systems. BS EN 12828: 2003;
Heating Systems in Buildings. Design of Water
Based Heating Systems. BS EN 12831: 2003;
Heating Systems in Buildings. method for
calculation of the design heat load.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The installation of any electrical services during the
installation of this stove must be carried out by a
registered competent electrician and in accordance
with the requirements of the latest issue of BS 7671.
FLUES
Flues should be vertical wherever possible and
where a bend is necessary, it should not make an
angle of more than 45
o
with the vertical. Horizontal
flue runs should be avoided except in the case of a
back outlet from the appliance, when the length of
the horizontal section should not exceed 150mm.
In order to minimise flue resistance and to make
sweeping easier it is recommended to use 2 x 45
o
bends rather than a 90
o
bend.
The flue termination point must be located to min-
imise any wind effects. Wind effects of suction,
pressure zones and turbulence can be created by
the roof and adjacent objects. Wind effects can also
be created by natural land contours.
To minimise the wind effects, the flue termination
point should be located a minimum of 1000mm from
the roof measured vertically and 2300mm measured
horizontally. Where this termination point does not
suffice it may be necessary to extend the flue pipe
so that the termination point is above the apex. (See
