Chimney connector
The connection to flue must be carried out according to
local building regulations.
•
The flue must be in good condition and must provide
sufficient draught. (draught required
10 to 20 Pa
).
•
The flue must be
suitable
for the installation of fuel
burning appliances ; otherwise it must be necessary to
install a tubing.
•
The flue must be
clean
. It should be swept to remove
soot and dislodge tar deposits.
•
The flue must be well insulated, water and air tight. A
chimney with a cold internal surface can prevent a
good chimney draught and condensation will occur.
•
The conduit must be sealed and have a purging T.
•
The conduit must be of normal cross-section and
constant throughout its height, with a cross-section at
least equal to that of the appliance’s nozzle.
•
The chimney must be at 40 cm above the ridge of the
roof and 8 meters away from any construction.
•
In case of a flat roof or when the roof gradient is lower
than 15°, the stack must be 1,2 m (4 feet) high at least.
•
The capping must not restrain the draught.
If the chimney has a down-draught tendency, due to its
p o s i t i o n i n r e l a t i o n t o n e a r b y o b s t a c l e s , a n
anti-down-draught cowl must be installed on the
chimney or the chimney height must be increased.

Connecting the gas supply
It is important to ensure that all pipework installed is
fitted in accordance with BS6891 and is capable of
supplying sufficient gas flow and pressure to meet the
minimum pressures quoted in the front of this manual.
8 mm pipe may only be used for the final connection to
the stove, or within 1 meter of the appliance. An 8mm
nut and olive is supplied with the stove for the final pipe
joint.
A gas supply isolation tap must be installed in the
supply pipework in a location that is easily accessible,
such that the appliance may be isolated if necessary.
Check the tightness of the pipes using soapy water or
detergent.
Do not make any connections to the appliance until all
supply pipes have been purged to expel any dust or
debris. View on under side of stove to show final
connection of 8mm pipe to stove.
Although a gas soundness test is made on all
appliances before they leave the factory, the appliance
should be tested for soundness before operating the
stove. This is to ensure that the burner has not been
damaged in transit.
