6. builders opening

Many fireplace openings have a supporting lintel. Remove the covering plaster to identify it's position before starting any constructive work. Do not remove constructional lintels without making provision to support the remaining structure of the building. The appliance must not form any part of the supporting structure.

6.1The chimney/flue must have a sealed connection to the appliance flue spigot.

6.2The structure of the builders opening will reach high temperatures. Use insulating blockwork to reduce the heat transfer to the external walls, in particular the area of the chimney breast above the opening.

6.3Take care when finishing the chimney breast and surrounding area. The conducted and convected heat emitted by the appliance could be high enough to crack normal plaster. Use a high temperature plaster, or face the area with a suitable high temperature plasterboard. New plaster should be fully dried before the appliance is used, or cracking could occur.

Riva 40 only

It is possible to fit the Riva 40 into an existing, traditional, 16” fireplace opening following the removal of any existing milner fireback. Following the removal of the fireback and any flaunching above, the builders opening should be checked and made good to the dimensions shown in the table. Care should be taken to ensure the existing chimney is in good condition and that it is possible to make the required sealed fluepipe connections to this when the Riva 40 is installed.

If you are in any doubt about your ability to produce a safe opening contact your Stovax dealer for professional advice.*

Riva 55/66/76 only

Should you wish to connect air ducting to the convection system, provision should be made to increase the opening height by an additional 300mm. This will allow the access needed to fit the duct pipes after connecting the flue system.

* In the U.K
