FOREWORD
The Chimney Flue chapter has been drawn up with reference to the provisions of European Standards (EN13384 - EN1443 - EN1856 -
EN1457).
The chapter provides instructions for installing a chimney flue efficiently and properly, but under no circumstances is it a substitute of the
Standards in force, which the qualified technician must be in possession of. Check with local authorities whether there are any restrictive
regulations in force regarding the combustion air inlet, the smoke outlet system, the flue or the chimney cap.
The company declines all liability relating to the poor functioning of the stove if this is due to the use of an insufficiently sized flue in
violation of the Standards in force.
CHIMNEY FLUE
The flue or chimney is of great importance for the proper operation of a solid fuel-burning heating appliance with forced draught, as
modern heating appliances have high efficiency with cooler flue gasses and consequently less draught, it is therefore essential that the
flue is built up to standard and always kept in perfect order. A flue that serves a pellet/wood fuelled appliance must be at least category
T400 (or greater if the appliance requires so) and resistant to soot fires. Smoke must be extracted through a single flue made of insulated
steel (A) or an existing flue that complies with the intended use (B).
A simple air shaft made of cement must be suitably lined. In both solutions there must be an inspection cap (AT) and/or inspection hatch
(AP) - FIG.1.
It is forbidden to connect more than one wood/pellet-burning appliance or of any other kind (vent hoods... ) to the same flue.
