5.4.4. Connecting the fireplace with the flue
t 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. 5.4.4.1)
.
For fireplace NIREAS the diameter of the flue is 180mm. The flue must be properly insulated
with stone wool with thickness of 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. This tube should be perfectly sealed and well insulated throughout its length.
To install the flue, you must place it on the fireplace outlet and then seal it using the
appropriate sealant.
The space extending around and over the device up to the deflector must be ventilated
continuously. For this reason you must allow cool air from a lower spot, for example, the
bottom and the outlet of the hot air from above.
(Pic. 5.4.4.2)
These openings must remain free and not able to be covered. The must also have a
minimum surface of 300 cm
2 , for example, a grille with size 30x10cm.
This way you achieve:
greater security
increase on the heat of the room, due to the air circulating around the device.
The hot air extract grille must be placed on top of the trunk approximately 20cm from the
ceiling. The grille must always be installed, as its purpose is to allow, the heat that builds up
inside the trunk to be released in the room and also to relieve the pressure created.
The hot air extract grille can also serve as a visiting slot in order for the installer or the user to have access to the
electronics box of the air regulator (STANDARD type) and be able to perform maintenance, like changing the
rechargeable batteries.
5.4.5. 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. DON’T LIGHT THE FIREPLACE!

IREAS TO THE CENTRAL HEATING INSTALLATION
ARTE® NIREAS fireplace can be installed to work individually or in collaboration with any another water heating device to be used for central or
floor heating.
To ensure the safety of the device you must install an overheating safety valve
(Pic. 6.1)
, in order to protect the system against possible
overheating. Also in case of floor heating, it is necessary to use a buffer tank
(Pic. 6.2)
and a thermal mixing valve
(Pic. 6.3)
to ensure constant
temperature of the water in the floor pipes.
