Chimney attachment
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 stoves are being fitted, less than 5 m, is not permitted.
(See: Data for chimney calculations / Chapter 4.) A maximum of
two other fires can be connected to the chimney to be con-
nected to the stove.
For safety reasons it is not permitted to use a steam extractor hood to remove air
when the stove is producing heat.
