EXISTING CHIMNEY AND PRE-FABRICATED ELEMENT CHIMNEY
If you intend to connect your stove to an existing chimney, it makes sense to contact an authorised Scan dealer, or a local
chimney sweep, for advice. These experts will also let you know if your chimney needs renovating.
¬
When connecting a pre-fabricated element chimney, follow the manufacturer’s connection instructions for the relevant
chimney type
CONNECTION BETWEEN BUILT-IN STOVE AND STEEL CHIMNEY
Your Scan dealer, or local chimney sweep, can advise you on choosing a make and type of steel chimney. This ensures that the
chimney will match your wood-burning stove.
REQUIREMENTS FOR CHIMNEY
The chimney must have a minimum internal diameter of 148 mm and have a T400 designation, with G for the soot fire test. The
length should be min. 5 metres.
If you opt to connect the built-in stove with an elbow pipe, you should use a curved elbow, as this gives a better draught.
If you connect the stove with a sharp elbow pipe, the cleansing lid must be placed in the vertical part so that the horizontal part
can be cleaned through here.
If the chimney is fitted with a smoke extractor, it must be possible to adjust it to a suitable draft.
The requirements to the chimney and the flue pipe in terms of safety distances must be met.
¬
Choosing the wrong length or diameter of steel chimney could impair functionality
¬
Always comply exactly with the instructions provided by the steel chimney supplier
BALANCED FLUE
If the stove is connected with a balanced flue, we recommend the use of a 100 mm Lindab tube and a chimney length of min. 5 m.
MINIMUM DISTANCE TO FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
Distance to back: 0 mm - glass: 800 mm. - ceiling: 580 mm.
You should however assess whether furniture or other items might become excessively dry due to being too close to the stove.
BUILDING IN THE STOVE AT A FIRE WALL
We refer to the building sketches on page 7.
SAFETY DISTANCE
European, national and local regulations concerning safety distances for wood-burning stoves and flue pipes must be complied
with.
The stove must be set up so that the stove itself, the flue pipe, and the chimney can all be cleaned.
