Dry Stove Installation Guide
Figure2: Fitting the flue pipe inside the spigot collar.
Fire cement should be used to create an airtight seal between the flue and
spigot.
5.6
Sealing of terminals
If an add in boiler is not to be fitted, please ensure that any partially cut
circular terminals (located on the rear of the appliance) are sealed with fire
cement, thus preventing surplus air entering the firebox, resulting in lower
efficiency and poor fuel consumption.
5.7
Sealing the back and base of inset stoves to a fire surround
In order for the stove to operate correctly and at maximum efficiency it
is necessary to achieve a good seal between the back face of the stove
convector section, the stove back base sections and the decorative fire
surround and hearth. This should be achieved using fire cement. Any void
surrounding an inset stove when installed should be filled with fire cement,
vermiculite or similar in the interest of safety and efficiency.
5.8
Fixing 5kW inset stoves to the chair brick
All Inset 5 stoves can be fixed to the chair brick if required. To do this it is
necessary to remove the ‘knock-out’ hole plugs in the rear of the stove behind
the tertiary air bar.
5.9
Adjusting the self-levelling feet (if applicable)
Adjustment is as follows:
•
Position the stove on the hearth into its final resting place.
•
On the rear leg of the stove, loosen the pozi screw, and rotate the inner
‘cam’ shaped levelling foot until this touches the hearth.
•
Re-tighten the pozi screw. Check the stove is level with a spirit level.
•
Repeat for the other rear leg.
