PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

There are several ways of connecting the fireplace to the flue as shown in Figures 8 & 9. If
the vertical rear flue is used, the chimney may be swept through the appliance. If it is not
possible to pass the sweeps brush through the fireplace, a soot door will be necessary. This
may be either in the actual brickwork of the chimney or fitted in the register plate. Various
suitable positions of soot doors are shown in Figures 8 & 9.
CLEANING THE FLUE
Access for cleaning the flue should be incorporated in the system other than through the
appliance (e.g. a soot door or access through a register plate).
Purpose-made soot doors and inspection lengths are available from your local fireplace
specialist or installer. Ensure that the whole length of the flue can be reached from the soot
door.
