Do not connect to systems containing large
voids.
You must provide suitable access to enable the
collection and removal of debris.
You must sweep and inspect the flue when the
appliance is installed. Note: the design 01 this
appliance allows the chimney to be swept
through the appliance.
The following must be adhered to:
AS/NZS 2918:2001:4.9.1
•
The flue pipe shall extend not less than 4.6m
above the top appliance.
•
The minimum height of the flue system within
3m distance from the highest point on the roof
shall be 600mm above that point.
•
The minimum height of a flue system further
than 3m from the highest point of the roof shall
be "a minimum" 1000mm above roof
penetration.
•
No part of any building lies in or above a
circular area described by a horizontal radius
of 3m about the flue system exit.
N.B. in extreme wind areas it may be necessary
to consult your local agent for further technical
assistance.
•
If flue is concealed in a chase, allow for air
vents (2 x 80mm diam. or equivalent) at the
highest possible point on the chimney chase
or alternatively, allow a min 25mm air space
between the casing cover spigot and the outer
casing.
VENTILATION
•
Increase air supply provisions where a room
contains multiple appliances.
•
If vents open into adjoining rooms or spaces
there must be an air vent of at least the same
size direct to the outside.
•
If the appliance is installed directly onto the
floor, it must stand on a heat resistant
constructional floor protector of the minimum
dimensions shown and meet the requirements
of AS/NZS 2918:2001, section 3.3.
•
Site the
vents
where cold draught is unlikely to
cause discomfort. This can be
avoided
by
placing vents near ceilings or close to the
appliance (see diagram below).
•
Additional ventilation is required. This must be
provided using a permanently open-air
vent,
of
the size listed, which is positioned so that it is
not liable to be blocked both inside and
outside the building.
Allowances MUST be made for air replacement
vents to be located near the fireplace to aid
combustion.
A minimum of one pair of air vents is
recommended or one large vent.
Allowance is to be made for a minimum of 2 inlet
ducts from outside to internal vent location.
Note: DO NOT USE FIREPLACE CAVITY
VENTILATION AS A METHOD OF AIR
REPLACEMENT.
•
Extractor fans or cooker hoods must not be
placed in the same room or space as this can
cause the appliance to emit fumes into the
room.
•
If any of these checks reveal problems do not
proceed with the fitting of the appliance until
they have been rectified.
•
If the appliance is installed directly onto the
floor it must stand on a heat resistant
constructional floor protector of the minimum
dimensions shown and meet the requirements
of AS/NZS 2918:2001, section 3.3
•
The building must
have
a suitable load-
bearing capacity for the floor protector and
appliance. Consult a structural engineer for
advice
before proceeding.
•
When fitting into an existing floor protector
check that the floor protector complies with
current construction regulations and is at least
the minimum sizes shown.
