3. Safety distances and protection
3.1. Safety distances
Safety distance to a stone wall is 50 mm from the outer surface of the heater. 100 mm is preferable to allow sufficient air
flow.
If the floor in front of the heater is flammable, the floor must be protected at the distance of 400 mm to the front and
100 mm to the sides, as measured from the fire door. The protective base to be used can be a non-flammable metal
sheet.
Refer to Table 1 for heater-specific safety distances to flammable materials
If the smoke flue has a non-insulated interconnecting pipe or a bended pipe above the heater, the safety distance is
400 mm on sides and 400 mm upwards as measured from the horizontal surface. Please refer to the installation
instructions supplied with the pipe for the safety distances before installation.
4. Heater connection to a smoke flue
4.1. Back connection.
Make a hole in the brick chimney which is 2
–3 cm bigger than the connecting pipe.
Remove the plate covering the round hole at the back of the heater cover.
Install the plate covering the flue opening on the back to cover the flue opening on the top.
Install the connection pipe supplied with the heater to the rear flue opening and the shorter section into the heater. Push
the heater in place.
Make sure that the connection pipe sits well in the opening at the chimney.
Seal the empty space between the connection pipe and the chimney by using flexible, fire-resistant material, such as fire
wool. The connection is finished by using a cover plate, available from a hardware store. Fix the cover plate to the
chimney using metal fixtures or fire-resistant putty.
4.2. Top connection
Install the heater's own connection pipe to the upper flue opening and the shorter section into the heater.
Make a hole in the brick chimney which is 2
–3 cm bigger than the connecting pipe.
Top connection is made by using a bended pipe, which can be turned to match the chimney.
Bended pipes are available at hardware stores. A bended pipe can be extended, when necessary. Install the heater's own
connecting pipe to the upper flue opening on top of the heater. The bended pipe in question is installed on top of the
heater's connecting pipe. Use a saw to adjust the length of the bended pipe and extension, if any. Make sure the pipe
goes deep enough into the chimney (not too far; the chimney may be blocked).
Seal the empty space between the pipe and the brick chimney by using flexible, fire-resistant material, such as fire wool.
The connection is finished by using a cover plate, available from a hardware store. Fix the cover plate to the chimney
using metal fixtures or fire-resistant putty.
4.3. Connection to a ready-made flue
The heater can be connected from the top to a ready-made flue.
Select the correct ready-made flue in accordance with the heater model, the height of the flue, the external conditions,
temperature class T 600 etc. A damper plate must be installed in the flue.
•
Install the heater's own connection pipe to the upper flue opening and the shorter section into the heater.
•
On top of the connection pipe, install a non-insulated interconnecting pipe and an extension, if needed. Use a saw to
adjust the length of the interconnecting pipe and extension, if any.
•
Install the damper between the non-insulated and insulated part, or alternatively, into the first insulated chimney flue
module
•
Continue using insulated modules on top of the damper. There should be at least 400 mm of insulated chimney flue
below the ceiling. Follow the installation and user instructions for ready-made flues.
Adhere to the above mentioned safety distances to flammable and non-flammable materials.
For chimneys, safety distances to flammable materials are product-specific. Check the manufacturer's instructions.
If in doubt, contact the local fire authorities.
TylöHelo Oy is not liable for suitability or performance of other manufacturers' ready-made flues used in connection with
Kastor heaters. TylöHelo Oy is not liable for the quality of other manufacturers' ready-made flues.
The temperature classification for the chimney must be T 600.
5. Heater door and changing left/right-handedness
The door's opening direction can be changed by turning the door over.
Changing the door's left/right-handedness:
•
Open the door and push the hinge pin from below to release it from its hole.
•
Pull the hinge pin down to release it from the upper hole; the door is now detached. Pay attention to the washer and
locking nail.
•
Turn the door around so that the handle is on the preferred side.
