Installation of Vent Duct Tubes.
Installing ducts to distribute the heat produced by the stove firstly reduces the temperature of the
stove’s housing and secondly allows other rooms to be heated directly from the stove. This is of
particular benefit if the room in which the stove is to be installed is of less than large size because it
allows the stove to be operated with a larger and more visually interesting fire than would otherwise
be possible without the room becoming unbearably hot.
The lowest grade of flexible flue liner is an ideal choice of material for the ducts themselves and a
wide range of discrete or decorative grills are available for the outlets from builders merchants and
architectural fitting suppliers.
Although the ducts should never
become hot enough to cause a
problem, they should be protected
from any combustible materials.
Where the ducts are to be taken into
other rooms or floors, consideration
should be given to the fact that they
will form a permanent passage for
air to these rooms. If the stove is to
be installed into a property which
has gas appliances the ducts must
be installed with reference to any
applicable gas regulations and no
gas appliance should be operated
in any room to which air is being
ducted, not because the hot air will
cause a problem but because any
gas spillage may find its way into,
and remain, in cold duct work. At
no time should a gas appliance be
operated in the same room as the
stove if the stove is operating with, or
without warm air ducts being fitted.
