Fig. 4 - Arranging the Flue Plug for Top or Rear Outlet 

HEARTH 

 

The  construction  of  the  hearth  must  conform  to  Building  Regulations,  must  be  firm,  non- 
combustible and capable of supporting the stove. (Refer to Building Regulations Document J). 

 

FLUE CONNECTION 

 

The  flue  pipe  used  to  connect  the  stove  to  the  chimney  is  125mm  (5")  in  diameter.  The 
stove  is  supplied  ready  for  top  flue  connection.  To  change  to  rear  connection  the  flue 
blanking plug supplied with the stove is used to block the top flue outlet. The blanking plug 
in  the  rear  flue  connection  must  then  be  removed  (to  access  the  bolts  attaching  the  rear 
flue  connection  the  convector  panel  must  first  be  removed)  -  see  Fig.  4.  A  rear  flue  box 
attachment  is  also  available  from  ACQUISITIONS  that  allows  the  stove  to  be  installed 
further out of any building recess. Fig. 1 shows suitable flue connections. 

 

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES 

 

1. 

The installation must allow for adequate chimney sweeping. 

2.  Avoid using bends greater than 45° to the vertical. All flue pipe sections should be as 

close to vertical as possible. 

3.  All joints in the flue system must be effectively sealed. 

4.  All flue sockets must face upwards. 

5.  Check the appliance for soundness of seals between castings and main  components 

and that all supplied parts and fittings are correctly fitted. 

On completing the installation, check that all the  internal components of the stove are 
positioned correctly. 

 
Check - ashpan, iron grate, baffle, side and back bricks. 

 
 
A flue stabiliser can be fitted to reduce the draught through the stove if the flue draught is 
too high. The flue stabiliser should be: 

 

• 

Fitted in the same room as the stove.  

• 

The same size as the flue pipe. 

 

• 

Fitted no closer than 700mm to the flue outlet of the appliance.

POSITIONING 

 

The overall dimensions of the stove are shown in Fig. 3. The table above indicates 
recommended  distances  between  the  stove  and  surrounding  combustible  materials.  As  a 
rule,  any  surrounding  combustible  material  should  not  exceed  80°C.  There  should  be 
sufficient space around the stove for service work.
