3. Installation
3.1.
Chimney
The chimney must be fitted in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and the relevant part of the
Building Regulations. The chimney height and the position of the chimney terminal should conform to
Building Regulations and all local regulations, including those referring to national and European standards.
The chimney must be in good condition, any cracks and obstructions are not permitted. The diameter of the
flue should not be less than 125mm and not more than 200mm. If any of these requirements are not met, the
chimney should be lined by a suitable method.
The chimney must be swept before connection to the stove. We also recommend that the chimney be swept
a second time within a month of regular use after installation.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult a local installer.
3.2.
Flue Draught
A flue draught of minimum 1.2mm to a maximum 2.5mm water gauge may keep the appliance in good
performance. If the flue draught exceeds 2.5mm, a draught stabilizer must be installed in order to control
the rate of burning and prevent overfire. You should check the flue draught when fire is on high output.
3.3.
Chimney Connection
You should brick up or seal an existing fireplace opening with a register plate. A short length of flue pipe of
a minimum 125mm internal diameter may then be used to connect the stove to the chimney. This flue pipe
should conform to Building Regulations. Ensure that the pipe end is no closer than 76mm to the side or rear
chimney walls.
Ideally, the old fireplace should be filled in so that there is a smooth streamlined entry into the flue way.
The length of any horizontal run of flue pipe must not exceed 125mm.
It is essential that all connections between the stove and chimney-flue are sealed and made airtight.
This appliance is not suitable for installation in a shared flue system.
Both the chimney and flue pipe must be accessible for cleaning and if any parts of the chimney cannot be
reached through the stove (with baffle removed), a soot door must be fitted in a suitable position to enable
this to be done.
