Flue and Chimney Requirements
BS 5440 : PART 1
Before installation of the appliance, the chimney or flue system must be inspected and passed as
suitable. In particular, the following should be checked:
a)
This appliance is suitable for installation onto the following flue types:
A suitable sized diameter flexible or fabricated steel flue system, or a standard masonry chimney.
(See appliance data for flue size)
NOTE:
Any steel flue systems used should be manufactured in line with the requirements of BS 715, and installed with due
regard to the manufacturers recommendations.
b)
The minimum effective height of the chimney or flue must be 10ft (3 metres) measured from
the hearth to the termination of the flue (chimney pot). If the flue has any non vertical sections the
height should be increased in line with BS 5440 : Part 1.
c)
The chimney or flue must be free from any obstruction. Any flue damper or restrictor must be
removed or permanently fixed in the fully open position.
d)
The chimney should be swept prior to installation of the stove. However, if the flue is clean
and unobstructed throughout its entire length, it need not be swept.
