e)
Ensure that only one fireplace is served by the chimney or flue system.
f)
Ensure that the chimney or flue system is continuous from inlet to termination.
g)
Ensure that the chimney is structurally sound so the combustion products do not come into
contact with combustible materials outside the chimney.
NOTE:
A guide is published by the ‘British Flue and Chimney Manufacturers’ Association’ which contains
general information on chimneys and flues. It can be obtained from:
Sterling House, 6, Furlong, Bourne End, Bucks, SL8 5DG.
Ventilation, BS 5440 : PART 2
Before proceeding further, the following ventilation requirements must be satisfied.
a) If the stove is installed in a builder’s opening or fireplace recess that has an air supply entering
from below floor level, this must be completely sealed off.
b) If there is another gas appliance fitted in the same room, or adjacent area, or extractor fan system,
air conditioning, etc., it will be necessary to refer to BS 6714 and BS 5440 : Part 2 to ascertain the
additional precautions necessary.
If any of the pre-installation checks reveal inadequacies, the installation should not proceed until
they are rectified.
Do not fit the appliance, seek expert advice.
Installation of the Gas Supply, BS 6891
NOTE:
Ensure that the gas supply is capable of delivering the required amount of gas, and is in
accordance with the relevant current standards.
It is generally preferred to conceal the gas supply by bringing it under the hearth, or through masonry
to the side of the fireplace. Any pipe work in 15mm tube connecting the stove to the main pipe work
should be kept as short as possible with as few fittings as possible to prevent restrictions.
a)
Whenever a gas pipe passes through any masonry it must have a sleeve of non combustible
material sealed at both ends to prevent the gas supply from coming in contact with masonry or lime
based mortars.
b)
The gas pipe should be adequately supported over longer lengths.
c)
Soft copper tubing and soft soldered joints are suitable, providing the tube is not closer than
150mm to the stove casing i.e. the temperature must not exceed 100°C.
d)
A means of isolating the gas supply to the appliance must be provided independent of any
appliance control. This may be a gas cock, ideally of the nursery type to prevent children interfering
with the gas supply.
e)
Any gas tubing that has been passed through masonry, should be purged to expel any foreign
materials that may have entered the supply.
f)
Care should be taken to ensure that pipe work brought through metal structures has been
secured to prevent chaffing, but allow for thermal expansion.
