-
The flue must be clean. It should be swept to remove
soot and dislodge tar deposits.
-
The flue must be well insulated. If the flue inner wall
surfaces are cold, a good thermal draw is impossible
causing condensation problems (tar formation etc) to
occur.
-
The flue must not be shared with other appliances.
-
The chimney must be at least 4.5 m (15 ft high).
-
In case of a flat roof or when the roof gradient is lower
than 15°, the stack must be 1,2 m (4 feet) high at least.
-
If the chimney has any down draught tendency, due to
its position in relation to nearby obstacles, then an
anti-down draught cowl must be installed on the
chimney or the chimney height must be increased.
-
If the decompression in the chimney is excessive, a
draught stabiliser must be installed.
Chimney to be built / new flue :
-
The flue must not be supported by the stove.
-
Consult a chimney specialist for advice on suitable
flue systems for solid fuel appliances.
-
The connection can be either vertical or horizontal. For
horizontal connections, avoid right angle bends.
-
The join between the connection pipe and the
stovepipe, and the flue, must be leak tight.
-
For the premises equipped with a mechanical
controlled ventilation, the airtightness has to prevent
the exhauster drawing out the smokes from the
exhaust gas pipe.
-
The connection pipe and any draught stabiliser must
have access for cleaning.
-
The spigot should be connected to a minimum of
125 mm flue system and in that case the appliance is
capable of burning untreated wood and recommended
solid fuels.
2.3. Flue
The chimney must comply with Current Building
Regulations. If in doubt, consult your Dealer or local
Building Inspector.
Existing flue :
-
The flue must be in good condition and must provide
sufficient draught.
-
The flue must be suitable for the installation of solid
fuel burning appliances and comply with Current
Building Regulations.
-
Fit the sealing rope in the groove and attach the flue
- Any connection pipe must be suitable for use with solid
fuel burning appliances in accordance with Approved
Document J of the building regulations.
The connecting pipe must not reduce in diameter at any
point to less than the diameter of the outlet of the stove.
