be sealed using suitable sealing packing rope. The chimney flue must be at least 150mm internal

2.7 Connecting to a steel chimney
Refer to building regulations & any other rules in force, including BS 8303 and BS EN
15287-1:2007.
If your installation involves taking the chimney straight up and through the ceiling, you
must
comply
with National, Local Building Regulations or flue manufacturer‟s instructions concerning clearances to
combustible materials such as walls, floor joists and ceilings. The joint between the stove flue collar
and the stove pipe must also be sealed using the glass fibre rope provided. It is important that the
insulated flue system is properly supported both at ceiling level and at roof level. The Stove
must not
bear the weight of the chimney system
(See chimney manufacturer‟s instructions). Excessive weight
on the stove will inhibit expansion and could lead to damage of the stove top. Damage caused to the
stove in this way would not be covered by the manufacturers guarantee. The chimney flue must be at
least 150mm internal diameter.
CAUTION:
In the event that a chimney fire occurs resulting from faulty operation or prolonged use of damp
wood fuel, evacuate all people from the house, if safely possible close the air vents completely
and contact your local fire department immediately.
Cleaning procedure:
Discuss this with chimney sweep or qualified installer prior to or during the stove installation
Chimney draft:
If the chimney draft is naturally poor it is better to install the flue from the top of the stove so as to
minimize any internal resistance of the flue gases.
Avoid having any more than 2 bends in the flue system and limit the length of the offset between
bends. Refer to building regulations and any other rules in force.
Fresh air supply:
Refer to building regulations & any other rules in force, including BS 8303 and BS EN
15287-1:2007.
