The stove’s flue spigot is fitted to the flue pipe by pushing it upwards from within the stove so that the flue can
be positioned exactly before in filling the fireplace to give the required housing size. A register, or closure, plate
should now be fitted. This is a plate of metal or a proprietary non-combustible board made for this purpose,
which closes all but a hole cut for the flue pipe of the chimney opening. Its purpose is primarily to prevent the
inevitable debris, and especially lime mortar falling onto the stove top, which will cause corrosive damage to
the stove top, but it also serves to position, exactly, the flue pipe in readiness for the stove. If air ducts are to be
attached, holes in the register to accommodate these will need to be added. A secondary lintel will need to be
fitted at the top of the opening into which the stove is to be fitted unless the existing lintel is at the top of the
desired opening.
Before in filling the fireplace, consideration must be given to the heat generated by all the surfaces of the
stove. If the face of the chimney breast is to be a smooth wall the heat surrounding the stove facia may
be sufficient to crack ordinary plaster, especially if it has been applied recently. Heat resistant plasters are
available.
The walls on top of the stove will become very hot and no combustible materials should be used as for any
part of the in filling. Insulating blocks such as “Durarock” may be used to line the cavity if you need to keep
the heat to the fireplace walls at a minimum to protect any pictures that may be hanging on them. Because
the flow of rising hot air from the stove front can be considerable and constantly changing in temperature, no
valuable pictures should be hung above the stove.
