All Installations:
Place the stove carefully on its hearth and ensure it is stable and level. The spigot (male) end
of the Connecting Flue Pipe must fit inside the stove outlet and be sealed with fire cement.
The socket (female) end faces away from the stove. This is to ensure that any condensate,
etc. will run into the stove and dissipate rather than spoil the appearance of the final
installation. See diagram below:
For connecting into existing Chimney:
The Chimney should be swept prior to installation and smoke tested to ensure it is sound.
The Chimney must not have any hollow sections present, these should be filled to ensure
that any soot or tar, etc. does not build up which may present problems when sweeping the
chimney. Hollow sections within the chimney may also present problems with the chimney
draw. The connecting flue pipe must be sealed to the chimney with fire cement and high
temperature resistant rope as required. This is usually done into a register (Blanking) plate
with an access door/hatch to enable chimney sweeping. Particularly large chimneys may
require lining as the flue temperature may not get warm enough to provide a suitable
up-draught.
Use fire cement and stove
rope to ensure air tight seal.

Minimum diameter should be no less than the outlet size of the stove, 25to 50mm larger is
ideal. Where the stove outlet is less than 150mm this diameter should be no less than 125mm
when only burning smokeless fuels or a minimum of 150mm for any fuel types.
