POINTS TO CONSIDER PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION ORDER OF OPERATIONS
Prior to Construction and Installation
-
Important Notes:
1.
Consult a licenced certified gasfitter for correct gas installation.
2.
Install to current standards.
3.
Install to manufacture
’
s specifications.
4.
All New Installations require a permit.
5.
Allow for gas supply to heat cell at R.H. rear, and power supply to L.H. rear if required (check product).
6.
For special requirements concerning materials (Timber Mantle and Surrounds) within close proximity of Warmington products,
please contact your local Warmington Technical Consultant .
Stage 1: Frame Construction procedure by Builder.
1.
Mark out Flue Centre.
2.
Mark out Heat Cell Clearance requirements.
3.
Mark out Flue Centre on ceiling for the Installation of the Freestanding Flue System.
4.
Construct Plinth only, to required height. *
Stage 2: Install Procedure by Certified Installer only.
1.
Fit Freestanding Fire to Plinth.(Ensure Gas Supply Line is fed through R.H. Side of Firebox.) Check Product for location .
2.
Fit Freestanding Flue System.
3.
Fit Gas Cowl and Flashing System.
4.
Fit Weir Vents/Vents (if required), to cool the Chimney Chase Cavity and ensure efficiency of CAITEC Technology. (see Product & Spec)
5.
Clean and touch paint up on the fires and cover if necessary.
S
tage 3:
Finishing procedure by Builder.
1.
Construct Hearth to required thickness. *
2.
Close in Chimney Chase.
3.
Finish Heat Cell Alcove and Hearth to customer
’
s requirements (e.g. paint / tiles).
4.
*
Note:
Certified Installer can Install Hearth and Plinth.
Maintenance:
1.
Visually Inspect Fireplace and Flue System.
2.
Ensure that Fire is operated according to the Manufacture
’
s Instructions.
Location of the Fire. Open Fires are better located at one end of a room or area, as they project the heat away from their opening .
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.
Each Fire has different ways of venting the cavity .
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 needs to be taken to ensure that the Flue Termination is in the
correct position to maximise performance .
The Prevailing Wind.
Care needs to be taken to ensure that the Flue Termination is in the correct position as wind and 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 is 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 relevant standards.
Flue and Fire Clearance:
To be maintained to the Manufactures Instructions.
Pressure Differential, Venting & External Air into the Building
:
All fires need air to burn and draw correctly, Kitchen Fans, Air Conditioning units, High Wind Zones, Naturally forming Draft spaces, can all have an effect on the pressure difference from inside the
building to the outside. A lower pressure in the building may induce a draft down the flue system and back into the building causing the fire to smoke or spill into the building.
Care needs to be taken at
the design and installation stage to adequately vent the building, or some mechanical system to ensure that there is always a neutral or positive pressure at the fireplace and a negative
pressure at the flue outlet.
This will ensure that the draft in the flue system is always to the outside.
“CAITEC AIR”
the limits and requirements. See details in these Spec’s, on www.warmington.co.nz or contact your local Agent.
Wind Noise:
You may encounter wind noise in some installations. It is recommended to use an enclosed chase with a chimney pot to help reduce noise. There will always be some noise from the flue systems of all
fireplaces.
