CONNECTION TO THE CHIMNEY
This MUST be carried out by an accredited/competent person and/or
approved by your local Building Control Officer before using the stove.
Any existing flue must be in good condition with suitable access for collection
and removal of debris. Details of suitable linings for use with solid fuel are
given in the Official HETAS guide that can be viewed on their website at
www.hetas.co.uk
It is also important that suitable flue pipe complying with Building Regulations
is used to connect the stove to the chimney flue and that suitable access is
provided into the flue for regular inspection and sweeping of the flueways.
Chimneys should be as straight as possible. Horizontal runs should be
avoided except where the rear outlet of the appliance is used, in which case,
the horizontal section should not exceed 150mm (6 inches) in length.
Refer to
the typical installation diagrams, Fig 6-9. Flue connections must be well
sealed.
There are several ways of connecting the stove to the flue as shown in Figures
6-9. If the vertical rear flue is used, the chimney may be swept through the
appliance. If it is not possible to pass the sweeps brush through the stove, a
soot door will be necessary. This may be either in the actual brickwork of the
chimney or fitted in the register plate. Various suitable positions of soot doors
are shown in Figures 6-9.
