Flue Draught
If the flue draught exceeds the recommended
maximum, a draught stabiliser must be fitted so
that the rate of burning can be controlled and to
prevent over firing.
If the reading is less than the recommended
minimum then the performance of the appliance
will be compromised.
The flue draught should be checked under fire at
high output.
Minimum Draught – 1.2mm Water Gauge
Maximum Draught – 2.5mm Water Gauge
Connection to the Chimney
The gap between the old fireplace and stove flue
outlet must be filled in so that there is a smooth
streamlined entry into the flueway.
It is essential that all connections between the
stove and chimney-flue are sealed and made
airtight.
Both the chimney and any flue pipe must be
accessible for cleaning and if ANY parts of the
chimney cannot be reached through the stove (with
baffle removed), a soot door must be fitted in a
suitable position to enable this to be done.
Air Supply
Where necessary, any air opening must be kept
clear of blockage or obstruction. Due consideration
should be given to air requirements for any other
appliances in the same room or space.
Material Clearances
Any non-combustible walls within 50mm of this
appliance should be at least 200mm thick and
should extend 300mm above the top of the
appliance and at least 1.2 metres above the hearth.
Any walls more than 50mm from the appliance may
be reduced to a thickness of 75mm. Ensure the
inter-connecting flue pipe also has adequate
clearances to combustible materials.
A hearth with a minimum thickness of 125mm
should be provided. The hearth should extend to at
least 300mm in front of the stove and 150mm at
the sides, and should be in accordance with the
current building regulations.
In all instances the hearth and fireplace recess
should be made of non-combustible material.
The appliance shall be installed on a floor with
adequate load-bearing capacity. If the existing
construction does not meet this prerequisite,
suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate)
should be taken to achieve it.
Minimum Distances to Combustible Material
