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 heat-
ing 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.
Measure-
ment X
(distance from flammable construction and other materi-
als) 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 calculations / Chapter 3.)
A maximum of two other fires can be connected to the chimney to be conected
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 80 mm. The combustion air supply pipe has to be equipped with
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.
