HSB Boiler Stove
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Note
-
All local regulations, including those
referring to National and European stand-
ards need to be complied with, when in-
stalling the appliance. We strongly advise
that installation should only be carried out
by a qualified Solid Fuel Heating Engineer,
covered by the HETAS scheme (see page 12)
as installation by non
-
qualified persons may
affect the guarantee.
The building Regulations for England and Wales
2000 ref Approved Document J 2010 edition
(issued by the DTLR). The Building Standard
(Scotland) (Consolidation) Regulations. Detailed
recommendations for installation of Appliances,
chimneys and flues are outlined in the current
issue of the following British Standards BS6461,
BS8303 and BS4543.
Any manufacturer’s instruction must NOT
be taken as overriding statutory require-
ments.
During installation ensure that adequate
precautions are taken to avoid unnecessary risk
to yourself or any householder. In particular the
danger from the caustic nature of the fire
cement should be avoided by using these
accepted methods:
Wear gloves when handling fire cement.
Wear goggles when chiselling or looking up
chimneys
Make sure that Building Regulation are adhered
to during installation along with any local
by-laws. In the case of heating systems ensure
that the pipe work is correctly bonded to provide
a correct electrical earth.
HANDLING
By the time you read this you will appreciate the
weight of the appliance. The safety and handling
guidelines as set out on page 5 of this manual
should be followed.
To make movement easier, internal fittings, fuel
retainers, grate, flue outlets hot plate, throat
plate, etc., can be removed.
Care should be taken to make sure that the
hinges are not damaged during installation.
HEARTH
The stove should 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.
Ideally, the appliance should stand on a constructional
hearth of non combustible materials not less than
125mm (5”) thick conforming to Building Regulations.
Dimensions of the hearth should project at least
300mm (12”) forward of the front of the appliance and
150mm (6”) at the sides.
The hearth surface should be free from combustible
materials. In most buildings with solid concrete or
stone floors, the requirement will be met by the floor
itself, but mark the perimeter of the hearth to ensure
floor coverings are kept well away or use different
levels to mark the hearth perimeter.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
A gap of at least 150mm (6”) should be allowed
between the appliance and any combustible materials.
Ideally, adjacent walls should be of suitable non
combustible construction, preferably brickwork.
In large fireplaces take care that any supporting beam
is protected by a 13mm (0.5”) thick sheet of
Masterboard / Supalux spaced 13mm (0.5”) off the
surface with strips of non-combustible material.
Make sure that there is a gap between an un-
insulated flue system and any combustible material.
This gap must be at least 3x the outside diameter of
the flue pipe, or 1.5x the flue diameter to non-
combustible surfaces. See illustration on page 14.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION
There must always be a permanent means of
providing air for combustion into the room in which the
stove is installed. A permanent vent with a total free
area of at least 550mm² for every kW rated above
5kW should be connected directly to the outside air or
to an adjacent room which itself has a permanent vent
of the same size direct to the outside air. The position-
ing of any air vent must be such that it cannot be
liable to blockage or obstruction.
Please refer to Approved Document J, Section 1
for detailed guidance.
Please note
:
The fitting of an extractor fan to either of these
rooms is not permitted.
