If a wooden beam is to be fitted, the distance from the rear of the
beam to the flue MUST BE 3 times the diameter of the flue eg 380mm
if using a 125mm flue pipe. If non-combustible material is placed
between the flue and the rear of the beam this should be at least
100mm thick.
The fitting of this stove must conform to Building Regulations and be
signed off by a HETAS engineer or a planning officer.
All local regulations, including those referring to national and
European standards need to be complied with when installing the
appliance.
A liner should be installed. It should have a diameter of at least
125mm and no larger than 150mm, and made of the correct solid fuel
grade stainless steel.
If fitted without a liner we cannot guarantee the performance of the
stove in any way.
The flue / chimney must be swept at least one a year and if you use
your stove throughout the year, sweeping twice a year is
recommended.
Flue draught requirements are a minimum of 12 pascals and if it
exceeds 25 pascals under high output firing, a draught stabiliser
should be fitted.
If in doubt ask your stockist or dealer.
A closer plate should be fitted to ensure heat from the stove is
transferred into the room. The closure plate should include a soot
door to enable debris to be removed from the plate.
