06.5 EXAMPLE OF AIR DUCTING IN THE VARIOUS ROOMS
The air pipes must be brought to the rooms to be heated.
From every room where hot air is ducted, the air must return to the stove room through openings beneath the doors or vents, which
must be taken up again by the grid behind the stove.
The flow of ducted air can be increased by closing the front outlet using the upper lever on the left beneath the grid.
The two air outlets can also be united in one single outlet with a "Y" pipe, in order to have hot air in one single outlet; in this case it is
necessary to increase the diameter of the output Y of the pipeline at least to 140mm. diameter (by customer) and maximum length of
the pipes 7m.
Air is distributed with flexible circular pipes in aluminium Ø 80mm. The pipes must be fastened to the unions with pipe clamps.
Pipe insulation is vital for the stove's performance. They must be wrapped with glass wool pads (minimum thickness 3 cm) along its
entire length.
Warning: makes sure that pipes do not contact wood and inflammable materials.
It is also very dangerous to use plastic pipes to distribute air since the high temperatures could deform them and release harmful gases.
Where it is impossible to wall up the distribution pipes, they can be hidden with a suspended ceiling, fake beams or casing.
To duct air into the other rooms, connect the pipes to the stove's upper rear outlets. To dis-
tribute air to the various areas, see examples. The air can be balanced with the grids with
adjustable closures.
The space between the vents and the wall must be hermetically sealed with
silicone, to prevent that leaking air blackens it due to heat (for exemple dark
spots of the radiators).
IMPORTANT: Use a neutral cure silicone seal

Apply silicone to pre-
vent air leakage
