Chilli Penguin Chilli Billie, Installation And Operating Manual

HEAT SHIELDING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
The heat shield should extend up to the extremities of the hearth, at least 150mm either
side of the stove, 200mm above the top of the appliance and have nothing above it
to hinder the circulation of air eg a shelf,
note that the heat shield is also providing
protection for the single walled connecting flue . With a heat shield the single wall flue
needs to maintain 1.5 x the flue diameter from combustibles. Without a heat shield this
would be 3 x the flue diameter. Our recommended distances are shown in the installation
diagrams.

3.n Heat Shielding Flue
• It can be overlooked that the flue must maintain distances from combustibles as
well as the stove
• If the room size is limited you are likely to need to consider heat shielding the length
of the single skinned flue (refer to heat shielding section). Double skinned flue
recommended for glamping purposes.
• Once in double skinned flue the distance to combustibles are reduced, see table below
Single skinned flue - only to be used as a
connector in glamping situations
