3Installation requirements
Note: Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs. Therefore it is of
importance that you do not use the appliance shortly after a renovation of the home. Due to
the natural circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint, building materials,
carpet etc. will be attracted to the lit appliance. These components can settle onto cold
surfaces in the form of soot.
As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown vinyl wallpaper placed too
near the appliance may become scorched or discoloured. This should be born in mind when
installing the appliance.
3.1 False chimney breast
The appliance must be installed in an existing chimney breast or non combustible false
chimney breast. For the dimensions of the appliance, see appendix D.
Keep the following in mind:
•do not place the appliance on combustible materials or carpets
•all walls have to be made of non-combustible material (e.g. Promatec).
•do not place the lintel, surround or marble stone directly onto the appliance. If
possible, apply a lintel made of cement or something similar.
•always ventilate the space above the appliance. Use a Faber ventilation grid (see
appendix E)
•to avoid cracking, the plaster has to dry for at least 1 day per millimetre plaster
•to avoid discolouring the plaster has to be heat resistant to min. 100°C.
3.2 Flue requirements
The appliance is of the type C11/C31. The appliance will need to be supplied with the
approved Faber flue pipes and terminal, it is not possible to supply your own. The minimum
effective height of the flue system must be 1 meter.
Flue routing:
•a horizontal extension with elbows is allowed for a maximum of 6 meters.
•vertical max. 12 meters (without horizontal extensions only)
Determine with the help of appendix A, B and C if the desired routing is possible.
To establish this you will need to calculate:
•The effective height (this is the real difference in height between the upper side of
the appliance and the terminal)
•The total horizontal extension. This is the total horizontal flue length where:

7 < <<<
UK IRL
1. each 90-degree bend, which is in the horizontal area, counts for 2 meter
2. each 45-degree bend, which is in the horizontal area, counts for 1 meter
3. elbows and bends at the transition from horizontal to vertically are not to be
counted
4. the wall mounted terminal counts for 1 meter
3.3 Flue restrictor
If applicable, in the table of appendix B is also stated the size of a flue restrictor. This
restrictor needs to be fitted in the combustion chamber when placing the appliance.
Normally the smallest flue restrictor is fitted at production.
3.4 Terminal position
Verify if the required terminal position meets the local installation regulations regarding
disturbance, good functioning and ventilation:
•The terminal must be located so that the outlet is not obstructed. If the flue terminal
is located within 2 meters of a footway path or where people could come into contact
with it, then a suitable terminal guard must be fitted
•Terminals located close to shared walkways, footpaths etc. could be subject to legal
constraints and this should be pointed out to the customer before installation. If in
any doubt about flue location advice should be sought from local building control, or
if appliance-related, from the manufacturer including wherever possible a
dimensioned sketch
•Avoid locating the terminal in close proximity to plastic materials such as gutters or
other combustibles. If this is unavoidable then a suitable deflector should be made.
•Some important requirements for a good functioning are
•The wall-mounted terminal has to be at least 0,5 m off:
oCorners of the building
oBelow eaves
oBalcony's etc.
oThe roof mounted terminal has to be at a distance of at least 0.5 meters of
the sides of the roof, excluded the ridge
3.5 Using an existing chimney.
You can connect the appliance onto an existing chimney. The existing chimney then
functions as air supply, where a flexible stainless steel liner (to BS715) of 100 mm performs
the flue function.
Requirements:
•Any existing chimney used as an air supply must only service this appliance.

>>>>8
UK
IRL
•A chimney that has previously been used for solid fuel must be swept before use.
•The existing chimney needs to be airtight.
•The existing chimney needs to have an opening of min. 150 x 150 mm.
•The chimney needs to be intact and well looked after.
•Use the adjustable roof-mounted-terminal especially made for this, and the chimney
connection set.
For more information see the manual ”Chimney Connection Set” delivered with the set.
