2.4 Connection of the fireplace
The connection for attaching to the chimney must be able to withstand at least 400°C.
PLEASE NOTE:
Before connecting the stove the local authority responsible
for approving heating systems must be consulted!
Connection pieces must be firmly connected to the stove and to
each other and must not leak. They must not project into the open
diameter of the chimney. The connection piece between the stove
and the chimney must have the same diameter as the pipe socket
on the stove. Horizontal connection pieces of over 0.5 m must rise
towards the chimney at an angle of 10 degrees. Any pipes which
are not heat insulated or vertical must not be longer than 1 metre.
The requirements of the Fire Regulations (FeuVO) apply, as well
as local building regulations such as for the chimney standards
DIN 4705, DIN EN 13384, DIN 18160 and DIN EN 15287.
Connection pieces must be tested to DIN EN 1856-2.
Measurement X
(distance from
flammable construction and other materials) must be as defined by the manufacturer
of the connection piece.
PLEASE NOTE:
Fitting to a chimney with a functional height of less than 4 m, or if several toves
are being fitted, less than 5 m, is not permitted. (See: Data for chimney calcula-
tions / Chapter 3.) A maximum of two other fires can be connected to the chim-
ney to be connected to the stove (Germany).
For safety reasons it is not permitted to use a steam extractor hood to remove
air when the stove is producing heat.
2.5 Outside air intake
For this equipment combustion air can also be added from the outside. It makes
installation easier in houses with passive and low energy consumption if the venti-
lation in the living quarters is controlled. Connection is possible through a tube
with a diameter of 125 mm. The combustion air supply pipe has to be equipped
with a stop-cock close to the stove. Of course, heating is also possible with the air
of the room
– see: Item 2.2 (Germany).
The fire-place can usually be
jointed to the chimney with an arch.
With weak chimney draught, the
fireplace is to be connected to the
chimney through a vertical flue gas
pipe facilitating discharge.
