These stoves are
not
suitable to be used in a flue-shared situation.
The chimney must be sound and of not too large in section. If not sound or too large, a liner
will have to be fitted; Stainless steel or ceramic liner suitable for solid fuel.
If the chimney draw is too high a flue stabilizer will have to be installed. When the chimney is
warm the draw should not be lower than 0.10 water gauge.
All appliances have been tested at 12 PA with the doors closed.
When a flue is connected directly into an existing chimney without a liner the register plate
must be fitted with removable doors to facilitate cleaning. If it not possible to fit doors in the
register plate then a cleaning door will need to be fitted as near as possible to the connecting
length of flue in the front, side or back of the chimney breast.
Hearth, Surround and Register Plate
The stove must stand on non-flammable material at least 12mm thick (1/2”). The hearth must
extend 300mm in front of the firebox and 150mm to the sides.
If the stove is installed into a fire opening made of non-combustible materials, we recommend
a minimum of 150mm gap to the sides and 300mm above from non-combustible materials.
The appliance must be installed on a floor with an adequate low bearing capacity.
If the construction doesn’t meet the existing prerequisite the floor must be reinforced or a load
distributing plate could be fitted.

It may be necessary to shield a beam or mantle piece from the heat. The single wall flue must
be at least 3 times its diameter away from combustible materials i.e. 150mm (6”) flue 450mm
(18”) away from combustible materials.
Be careful not to place furniture or other combustible material too close to the stove.
Register plates
Chimneys without continuous flue to the top , must have the register a plate made of 1.5mm
steel treated to prevent corrosion (BS8303 part 3 9.5)
Register plates made of fireboard may only be used if a liner or flue runs from the top of the
stove to the top of the chimney without a break. Always check the current building regulations.
