6.4.4. Connecting the fireplace with the flue
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. 6.4.4.1)
For fireplaces SOL 60/70 the diameter of the flue is 150mm, while on SOL
80/90 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 first remove the two baffles (stainless and vermiculite)
from the top of the combustion chamber. Then you must remove the mounting
flange by unscrewing the five stainless steel screws that secure it to the chassis. Then
you will need to enter the flue in the combustion chamber where once you cover it
with sealant, you must connect it to the mounting flange and the connection to be
secured with a clamp. Finally you should place the gasket on the chassis and
tighten the five screws again.
Before installing a SOL fireplace in a wall you must ensure that there is a front
opening of at least 635/735/835/935x565mm, according to the type of the device.
In case you are installing a SOL fireplace on an existing fireplace you must close the inner part of the flue with
a deflector with an appropriately drilled plate or other refractory material that can withstand high
temperatures without damage.
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. 6.4.4.2)
These openings must remain free and not able to be covered. The must also have a minimum surface of
300cm 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.
6.4.5. Air supply to adjacent rooms
ARTE® SOL fireplaces have an option for connecting air tube and provide hot air in adjacent rooms. At the top of the device there are two
holes in which you can connect said conductors.
To install the conductors you must follow the procedure below:
1. Configure appropriately the adjacent walls or drywall to install air ducts, with maximum diameter of 150mm, which must be properly
insulated and do not exceed a horizontal displacement of 7m. When calculating the distance keep in mind that if the tube changes
course by 90
o you should calculate a horizontal path of 1m and if it changes 45 o you should calculate 0.5m.
2.
Remove the hole covers by using a hammer.
(Pic. 6.4.5.1)
3.
Install the collars with diameter of 150mm on the holes and bend the mounting strips.
(Pic. 6.4.5.2)
4.
Mount the air ducts to the collars by using clamps.
