Fireplace Flue Pull
Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed. After
confirming with a match that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram smoke pellet
and check that there is a definite flow through the flue. Verify outside that the smoke
exits from one terminal only and that the termination is suitable. Observe, where
possible, upstairs rooms and loft spaces for signs of escaping smoke indicating a
defective flue. If there is not a definite flow warm the flue for a few minutes and repeat
the smoke pellet test. If there is still no definite flow the flue may need remedial work –
Do not fit the appliance until there is a definite flow through the flue.
3.3
The Flue Restrictor
This appliance is supplied with a flue
restrictor for use where the flue draught is
excessive.
The restrictor must not be
fitted where a precast flue or a 125mm
flue liner is used
. For flue liners greater
than 125mm and all other installations the
restrictor should be fitted. There may
however, be certain exceptional
circumstances where fitting the restrictor
causes the fire to fail the spillage test. In such cases the restrictor will have to be
removed. After removal conduct the spillage check again.
Fit the restrictor to the appliance flue outlet as shown in figure 5 using the two screws
provided.
