3.4.3 Connecting to a stainless-steel twin wall insulated flue system
Refer to Current National laws, Building Regulations, & any Rules in Force, including BS 8303 and BS
EN 15287-1:2007. Also refer to (Approved Document J England & Wales)
If the installation is to use a suitable and approved twin walled stainless steel insulated flue system
for Multifuel use then you
must comply
with
Current National, Local Building Regulations and any
Rules in Force
, including referring to the flue manufacturer’s instructions concerning installation and
clearances to combustible materials such as walls, floor joists and ceilings etc.
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 flue 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 or flue system
must be
equipped with access doors for inspection and cleaning. The
size of the cleaning door in the chimney must at least equal to that of the cross-sectional area of the
chimney.
The chimney or flue way that the stove is connected
must be
at least 125mm internal diameter.
(This
must be
confirmed with HETAS or Local Authority Building Control and all
Current National
laws, Building regulations and any Rules in Force).
3.5
Ventilation (Fresh air supply)
Refer to
Current National laws, Building Regulations, & any other Rules in Force, including BS 8303
and BS EN 15287-1:2007 & (Approved Document J England & Wales)
The Panther 5 SE, nominal heat output 4.9kw. Note: This is the nominal heat output
not
the
maximum heat output.
A wood fuel burning stove
requires air
for combustion and therefore you may need to install
additional ventilation to the room. An adequate air supply for ventilation & combustion
is
required
to the room into which the stove is installed. As this stove is CE tested to 4.9kw nominal
heat output a purpose provided air vent is not normally required, (England and Wales). However,
in certain circumstances a purpose provided air vent may be required such as: insufficient natural
ventilation, a flue draught stabiliser is fitted and date of building construction etc.
Refer to
Current National laws, Building Regulations and any other Rules in Force
to any other
country, Nation or area outside of England for ventilation requirements.
We suggest that it is advantageous
to provide an air supply into the room that the stove is
installed.
When determining the ventilation requirements account will need to be made for any other
combustion devices in the room.
Purpose provided air vents
must be
of the correct size, be non-closable and unrestricted, and
must
comply with
Current National laws, Building Regulation & any other Rules in Force.
Installation of purpose provided air vents must be installed to comply with Current National laws,
Building Regulation & any other Rules in Force.
Extractor fans or any other similar devices
must not
be installed in the room into which the stove
is installed.
Air inlet vents should be positioned in the room at locations to avoid them becoming blocked. If
the air supply is inadequate the chimney draft may be too weak, with the possible result that the
stove will not burn properly leading to a potentially dangerous situation. Smoke spillage may also
occur especially during the refueling process.
