Fire and flue system to comply to AS/NZS 2918
Due to continued product improvement, Warmington Ind LTD reserves the right to change product specifications without prior notification
Points to consider prior to installation:
•
Location of the fire in the home. The position of the fire will have an effect on the distribution of the heat
through the home. Open fires are better located at one end of a room as they project the heat away from their
opening.
•
External air supply. See the CAITEC detail. The supply of external air into the home is to reintroduce the air
into the home that is been used in the combustion process of the fire. This keeps the home at an equal
pressure to the outside. Kitchen extractor fan can cause a large pressure difference in the home and in some
conditions can cause the fireplace to smoke towards the extractor fan. Kitchen fans may require their own
external air supply.
•
Venting to the cavity. This air is to allow the cavity to vent the warm air. This warm air helps keep the fire and
flue system form getting to cold. If the flue and fire get to cold the system may soot often and require cleaning.
•
The Topography of the land .The slope and position of the land in relation to the home has a bearing on how
the wind will interact with the fire and flue system. Care need to be taken to ensure that the flue termination is
in the correct position to maximize performance.
•
The prevailing wind. Care need to be taken to ensure that the flue termination is in the correct position as
wind an gusts that hits the flue and cowl system may overcome the cowl and draft back down the flue into the
home. This can be a combination of down draft and high pressure.
•
Hearth and plinth: The height of the hearth off the floor. The finishing that is to be used on the hearth s to be
allowed for at the design stage.
•
Positioning of the Flue system: There is a maximum distance that an offset flue can be installed. Reference
to AS/NZS : 2918
•
Flue and Fire Clearance: To be maintained to the manufactures Instructions.
