The floor which the stove is to be located on must have an adequate load-bearing capacity. If
the floor does not meet this requirement then suitable measures in accordance with building
control regulations need to be taken.
This stove has passed the requirements of building regulations so that it only requires a 12mm
Thickness hearth.
The stove must be located on a solid non combustible hearth/surface with the minimum
dimensions extending from the perimeter of the stove as shown below:
The stove surfaces must have a minimum distance away from any combustible materials as
listed in the technical data section of this manual.
Single wall fluepipes must be more than three times the diameter of the fluepipe away from
combustible materials i.e. 125mm (5”) Fluepipe should be a minimum of 375mm (15”) away.
For further assistance regarding flue pipe & liners please contact your stove dealer, approved
installer, building control officer or Midtherm Flue Systems Ltd. (Details listed at rear of this
manual). The complete range of Midtherm flues and ancillary components are available from
your stove retailer.
Further advice regarding chimney and flues for this stove is detailed in the Installation
section of this manual.
This stove must have its own dedicated chimney or flueway. It is not suitable for installing
into a shared flueway. The stove must always have a permanent free air supply into the room it
is being installed into. For Stoves rated above 5KW a permanent unobstructed air vent is
required. This vent should be in the same or adjoining room as the stove and must be
connected directly to the outside air, where possible locate the vent close to the stove to
confine draughts. The vent size should be a minimum of 550mm
2
per KW over 5 KW, i.e.
A stove rated at 11kw would need a minimum vent size of 3,300mm
2
for modern properties
(Generally only since 2008) with Design Air Permeability greater than or equal to 5.0Mtr
3
/
(h.m
2
) then 550mm
2
is required per kW output. It is always advisable to install a vent if there
is not one present for a stove rated under 5Kw and like wise it is better to install a vent larger
than the minimum recommended size. This is to account for the possibility of operating the
stove at more than its rated output.
Extractor fans operating in the same room or air space as the stove may cause problems with
the air supply to the stove which in turn may cause problems with chimney draw.
Your approved installer or building control officer should be familiar with all these aspects of
where the stove may be installed.
