Structural design
The instructions indicate how Nibe recommends the
stove is installed. Always check with an authorised
chimney sweep that the installation method is an
approved method and that the chimney/walls have
sufficient support before starting installation.
Hearth plate
To protect the floor from any embers the
stove must be supplied with a hearth plate. If
the floor under the stove is flammable, it must be
protected by a non-flammable material. The hearth
plate can consist of natural stone, concrete or 0.7
mm metal.
As the requirements for the size of the hearth plate
can vary at different installation heights, you should
check what is applicable with your chimney sweep.
In general the hearth plate must protrude at least
300 mm in front of the stove and at least 100 mm
to the side.
If the bottom of the stove is 400 mm above the floor,
the distance must be increased by half the protrud-
ing height. This should be checked with your chim-
ney sweep.
Chimney
The stove requires negative pressure in the chimney
of at least 12 Pa. The negative pressure is affected
both by the length and area of the chimney, and by
how well sealed it is. Minimum recommended chim-
ney length is 3.5 m and a suitable cross section area
is 150-200 cm² (140-160 mm in diameter).
Carefully check that the chimney is sealed and that
there is no leakage around soot hatches and flue
connections.
Note that a flue with sharp bends and horizon-
tal routing reduces the draught in the chimney.
Maximum horizontal flue is 1 m, on the condition
that the vertical flue length is at least 5 m.
It must be possible to sweep the full length of the flue
and the soot hatches must be easily accessible.
