The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions of Building
Regula�ons Approved Document J. If installa�on is into an exis�ng chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or
other faults which might allow fumes into the house. Older proper�es, especially, may have chimney faults or the cross
sec�on may be too large .
Mendip Stoves recommend the use of a solid fuel flue lining system for all installa�on into exis�ng chimneys. All chimney
systems must be used in accordance with Building Regula�ons Approved Document J.
If an exis�ng chimney is used the chimney must be clear of obstruc�on and be swept clean immediately before installa�on
of the stove. The chimney should be tested to confirm the chimney will provide the correct chimney pressure for the stove.
If the stove is fi�ed in place of an open fire the chimney should be swept one month a�er installa�on to clear any soot falls
which may have occurred due to the difference in combus�on between the stove and the open fire. If there is no exis�ng
chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with Building Regula�ons Approved Document J or a twin
walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 1856-1 . These chimneys must be fi�ed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instruc�ons and Building Regula�ons. A single wall metal flue pipe is suitable for connec�ng the stove to the chimney but
is not suitable for using for the complete chimney. The chimney and connec�ng flue pipe must have a minimum diameter
of 125 mm and its dimension should be not less than the size of the outlet socket of the stove. Registered smoke exempt
models burning wood only can be installed on flue of 125mm throughout.. Any bend in the chimney or connec�ng flue
pipe should not exceed 45
�
. 90
�
bends should not be used other than within 150 mm of stove rear flue outlet.
A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured ver�cally from the outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney
should be sa�sfactory. Alterna�vely the calcula�on procedure given in BS5854:1980 may be used as the basis for deciding
whether a par�cular chimney design will provide sufficient draught.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then either an adjustable flue damper or alternately a draught
stabiliser should be fi�ed. The adjustable flue damper should not close off the flue en�rely but should in its closed posi�on
leave a minimum con�nuous opening free area of at least 20 % of the total cross sec�onal area of the flue or flue pipe.
Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for sweeping the chimney and connec�ng flue
pipe.
Your appliance needs to be maintained rou�nely, the throat plate/baffle should be cleaned regularly (monthly) . The flue
pipe can be cleaned using a flexible brush. Only Use a dry cloth on external surfaces. Over �me the glass may become dirty,
clean with a damp cloth and polish off with damp cloth. If the stove has not been used for some �me the flue should be
checked for blockages before use. Do not modify the appliance; only use spares authorised by the manufacturer.
FLUE & CHIMNEY CONNECTION TO STOVE
Combus�ble materials should not be located where the heat dissipa�ng through the walls of fireplaces or flues could ignite
it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combus�ble materials due account must be taken of the guidance
on the separa�on of combus�ble material given in Building Regula�ons Approved Document J and also in these stove
instruc�ons. The minimum distances to flammable materials are specified on the EN 13240 plate on the back of the stove.

Chimney Connec�on
In order for the stove to perform sa�sfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an adequate draught
to clear the products of combus�on and prevent smoke problems into the room.
