Preliminary Installation Procedures for
WAGENER SPARKY CA – Woodfire
To get the full benefit from the Wagener Sparky CA wood fire it is important that it is installed correctly,
both for efficiency and safety sake. The following points should be noted:-
1. The characteristics of the Wagener Sparky CA will determine its position within the home.
As a general rule an interior wall installation suits flue requirements better than against an exterior
wall.
2. Check for flue obstructions above the ceiling. (header tanks, electrical mains or load bearing roof
supports and the like).
3. The recommended vertical flue height for satisfactory operation is 4.2metres above the top of Sparky
CA’s Flue Collar Panel. The performance of Sparky CA depends more on the flue than on any other
single component. It is the draw on the flue that drives the stove.
4. Remember a permit is required from your Local Authority.
Flue System
Must be manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 2918-2001 and tested to Appendix F.
See installation instructions on pages 4, 5 & 6.
NOTE
: A purpose designed and tested petite flue system is available for Sparky CA using a 100/150/200mm
system with a reduced flue shield and ceiling plate.
Flue Shield
Sparky CA requires a single flue shield standing 1000mm high and spaced 30mm above the flue collar panel.
Please refer to fitting instructions supplied with the flue shield.
Floor Protector/Hearth Requirements & Positioning
Sparky CA
requires an
ash hearth floor protector only
of a minimum size of 610mm wide and 855mm
deep. (eg Tiles, slate, treadle plate etc)
The Ash Hearth floor protector shall have an upper surface, including grouting if required, of a durable, non-
combustible material. All joints in the surface must be sealed to protect and prevent ash or spilled embers
reaching the floor.
Floor protection must extend under Sparky CA and forward 300mm and be 200mm from each side of the
firebox door opening. (120mm from the side panel)
For concrete floors trim any floor coverings to the same minimum hearth requirement.
NOTE: SPARKY CA MUST BE AFFIXED TO THE HEARTH AND FLOOR FOR SEISMIC RESTRAINT.
For Seismic Restraint secure through two holes at the rear of the log box and screw through the hearth and
into the floor.
