INSTALLING A STOVE WITH A WATER COIL
Pot belly stoves may be installed in some parts of New Zealand but not in Australia. All
plumbing work must meet the requirements of local Building Codes. Pipe connections
are 1” BSP. Special piping methods must be followed to ensure effective circulation, and
the hot water cylinder will need to have an internal riser pipe to two thirds of the
cylinder height to discourage unwanted water circulation through the piping system
when the heater is not burning. This internal riser pipe must be connected to the return
pipe from the heater.
Piping instructions are included with the water heating tube kit. Two safety requirements
must be stressed.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT A STOVE FITTED WITH A WATER
HEATING COIL UNLESS THE COIL IS CONNECTED TO A FILLED WATER
CYLINDER AND THE WATER IS FREE TO CIRCULATE THROUGH THE
COIL.
WARNING: WHEN FITTED WITH A WATER HEATING BOOSTER, THIS
APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO AN UNVENTED HOT WATER
SYSTEM. THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED WITH AN OPEN VENT.
THERE MUST BE NO SHUT-OFF OR NON-RETURN VALVES IN THE PIPING
SYSTEM.
PIPE CONNECTION HEIGHTS (mm above hearth level). Inlet and outlet connections are all
on the rear centreline of the heater and are 1” B.S.P..
