SITE REQUIREMENTS

1.FLUE AND CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS

1.1The chimney or flue system must comply with the rules in force, and must be a minimum of 127mm in diameter. (5").

1.2The minimum effective height of the flue or chimney must be 3 metres (10ft). Any horizontal flue run from the rear outlet should not exceed 100mm from the back of the appliance.

1.3The chimney or flue must be free from any obstruction. Any damper plates should be removed or secured in the fully open position, and no restrictor plates should be fitted.

1.4The chimney should be swept prior to the installation of the appliance. However, where it can be seen that the chimney is clean and unobstructed throughout its entire length, it need not be swept.

1.5If it is intended to fit the stove into a existing brick built chimney, a 5" (127mm) liner must be used. Larger lined flues may work, but in some instances could cause cold start flue problems resulting in nuisance shutdown. Lined flues above 7" (175mm) are not recommended.

1.6Due to recent changes to European chimney standards, new flue’s and chimney’s are now described by their temperature, pressure and resistance to corrosion, condensation and fire. To assist in identifying the correct flue system, the minimum flue specification is shown in the technical specification on page 8 of this book. Existing chimney’s are not covered by this system.
