INSTALLATION
Because each installation is unique to the property, it is not possible to give full details of the constructional hearth setting. However, this should be constructed to comply with the requirements of the Building Regulations and be made using “best practice” construction methods. Remember that many fireplace openings will have a supporting lintel. Do not remove this without making provision to support the remaining structure of the building. The Stockton stove must not form any part of the supporting structure.
1.INSTALLING THE STOVE
1.1Decide if the installation is to be top or rear flue exit, and fit and seal the flue collar and blanking plate to suit. The flue collar attaches to the stove backplate or top plate with hexagonal headed bolts. The blanking plate is fixed to the unused flue outlet with fixing nuts.
1.2Lift the stove into position on the prepared hearth area, taking care not to damage the hearth finish.
1.3Connect the stove to the chimney system, using Stovax enamelled flue pipe and seal the connecting joints.
2.INSTALLING THE BOILER
2.1The Stockton boiler is not to be used on sealed or pressurised heating circuits.
2.2Gravity installation horizontal pipes must have an incline of at least 5mm / 1000mm, and have a minimum diameter of 28mm (1"). Reductions can be made to vertical pipes.
2.3Radiators larger than 1500mm (5’) wide and heat sink radiators should be connected using diagonal connections.
2.4The circuit should be fitted with an adjustable circulating pump to enable the flow to be matched to the system requirements. This can be fitted to either the flow or return pipework, and must be fitted with isolation valves to enable removal for maintenance.
2.5The circulating pump static head should be a minimum of 1.5m (60"), measured between the cistern tank and the pump centre line.
2.6The cistern tank should have an overflow with a minimum diameter of 22mm (3/4") and a feed, connected as the last connection on the common boiler return, of 22mm
