So, in case the chimney is built, its exhaust diameter should be at least twice the inside diameter of the chimney. Knowing that it is necessary
to protrude from the ridge of the roof, the cap must ensure the proper smoke dissipation in case of strong wind.
A chimney cap must meet the following requirements:
Internal diameter must be equal to the diameter of the chimney.
Exhaust diameter be at least twice the inside diameter of the chimney.
It should be constructed in such a way as to avoid the entrance of rain, snow and any foreign body in the chimney
It can be checked, maintained and cleaned easily.
6.5. Malfunction - Secure fireplace shutdown
In rare occasions even a test fire may not cause sufficient draft in the flue. In this case contact your chimney sweep. Under no circumstances
should you try to light a larger fire. If smoke escapes from the fireplace, ventilate the room immediately and contact your chimney sweep.

7.1. General information for installation
It is necessary that the flue gas tube is connected to a certified conduit with the same diameter as the fireplace, by
following the dimensions of the adjacent image
(Pic. 7.1.1)
. For NEAT fireplaces the minimum diameter of the flue is
150mm if it is steel made or 180mm if it is made with concrete, ceramic or brick. The flue must be properly insulated
with stone wool with thickness of at least 4cm with external aluminum foil.
Do not use fiberglass or paper based
insulation
. Also, do not use flexible thin walled metallic tubes or asbestos tubes. The tube should be perfectly sealed
and well insulated throughout its length.
7.2. Installation in existing fireplace
Before installing the fireplace you must ensure that the minimum height of the installation space is 490mm and the opening is at least
695/795/895mm, according to the type of the device.
To install an ARTE® NEAT fireplace in an existing fireplace is necessary to remove the main unit from the metallic shell, as other metal parts
also. The following steps explain this procedure.
Make sure that the floor can withstand the weight of the device. If the existing
construction cannot withstand the weight of the device, a load distributing plate is
necessary.
Also, make sure you provide proper insulation in case the floor is built using flammable
materials.
