Picture 5 –Exhaust duct with mechanical extractor
If mechanical exhaust fan is used, the flue should be vertical (it can have a maximum of two bends and a skew from
the vertical not more than 30%) with an outlet above the ridge. The fireplace should be installed as close to the
chimney as possible so that the flue (connecting the fireplace with the chimney) consist of a minimum number of
bends.
WARNING!!!
When the flue pipe is installed behind the fireplace or next to it, it must necessarily have a chimney
cleanout inspection door for emptying the residue after the combustion process and for the purposes of annual flue
inspections.
