Connecting to External Air (option)
When using the Adept with the standard ‘Classic’ legs,
each leg simply bolts into place.
1) Carefully lower the stove onto its back
2) Offer up each leg in turn using a bolt, nut and washer as
in
Figure 3.3.
3) Screw the bolt by hand into the corresponding hole on
the underside of the stove 4 or 5 turns.
4) Then tighten the nut against the washer to tighten the
leg to the stove. Use a spanner if necessary to tighten just
enough so that the leg doesn’t rotate - do not over tighten.
5) The bottom of the leg uses a second bolt to enable
height adjustment when the stove is a slightly non-level
surface.
The Adept stove can as an option be fitted with ducting
from the rear to an external air supply outside of the
building.
Either circa 3”(75mm) or 4”(100mm) ducting can be used.
Ducting would most commonly be flexible single skin
aluminium but any steel rigid flue could also be used but
must have anti-corrosive properties.
We do not recommend the use of ducting more than 3
metres.
When using flexible ducting less than 80mm diameter,
the ducting should be inserted into the connector on
the back of the stove:
(figure 3.4)
1) Apply a layer of flat self-adhesive ceramic fire rope
around the end of the ducting and insert it into the
connector.
2) Using some 15mm self-tapping or ‘tek’ screws, screw
through the holes on the connector biting into the ducting.
3) Finish the seal with a bead of high temperature silicon
between the edge of the connector and the ducting.
When using larger sized ducting, the ducting will go
over the connector on the back of the stove:
(figure
3.5)
1) If there is space between the inside diameter of the
ducting and the outside diameter of the stove connector,
apply a layer of flat self-adhesive ceramic fire rope around
the stove connector.
2) Carefully feed the end of the ducting over the connector
until it is firmly in place.
3) Use the jubilee band to tighten the ducting to the
connector.
4) The optional External Air Kit from Ekol also includes a
cowling with built in anti-insect mesh, to be used on the
Connecting ‘Classic’ legs
