Convection air may be ducted from the Riva MF to distribute warm air to other parts of the building. The distance this air may be ducted, and the position of the ducts will depend on the layout of the property.

A convection air ducting kit can be purchased from your Stovax dealer (Stovax part number 8572), as shown in diagram 18.

9.1To fit the ducts:

Remove the cover plates on the top of the firebox, by drilling out the fixing rivets

Fit the duct spigots with either pop rivets or self-tapping screws

Fit and seal ducting to the spigots

9.2Due to the high temperature of the ducts combustible material must be placed no closer than 100mm to the surface. The duct exits and grills must only be placed in a non-combustible wall panel.

9.3Protect or place the exit ducts at a high level, as the grill surfaces become very hot when in use.

Use a suitable guard if the exit is at low level to prevent touching or obstruction. Do not place combustible items near the operating duct exit as conducted and radiated heat could cause a fire hazard.

9.4Following completion of the fitting of the ducts replace and finish the final 300mm of masonry above the front of the Riva MF. See diagram 20.
