Flue and Chimney Requirements
Before installation of the appliance, the chimney or flue system must be inspected and passed as
suitable. In particular, the following should be checked:
a) This appliance is suitable for installation onto the following flue types:
A suitable sized diameter flexible or fabricated steel flue system, or a purpose built flue lining system.
The cross-sectional area of the flue must not be less than the stoves flue connection (see appliance
data for flue size).
NOTE:
Any steel flue systems used should be manufactured to meet with the requirements of British
Standards or any other relevant standards, and installed with due regard to the manufacturers
recommendations.
b) The minimum effective height of the chimney or flue must be 10ft (3 metres) measured from
the bottom of the flue spigot to the termination of the flue (chimney pot). If the flue has any non
vertical sections the height should be increased in line with current British Standards.
c) The chimney or flue must be free from any obstruction. Any flue damper or restrictor must be
removed or permanently fixed in the fully open position.
d) The chimney should be swept prior to installation of the stove if it has previously been used
by an appliance burning any fuel other than gas. However, if the flue is clean and unobstructed
throughout its entire length, it need not be swept.
e) Ensure that only one fireplace is served by the chimney or flue system.
f) Ensure that the chimney or flue system is continuous from inlet to termination.
g) Although the current regulations specify a vertical flue, for the required length, from either
the top or rear flue options. This stove is capable of working satisfactorily with a 45° bend fitted
directly onto the top or rear flue outlet. This bend must be counted in the total bends allowed in a
flue system, as specified in the current regulations. There should be no more than one meter of flue
pipe between this 45° bend and a second 45° bend to return it to the vertical.
h) If the flue is to be connected to the rear flue outlet there should be no more than 150mm of
horizontal run before the flue rises vertically.
i) Bends must not exceed the angles of those specified in current regulations and standards.
j) A suitable flue terminal must be fitted conforming to current British Standards and
regulations.
NOTE:
A guide published by the ‘British Flue and Chimney Manufacturers’ Association’ which contains
general information on chimneys and flues can be obtained from:
Sterling House, 6, Furlong, Bourne End, Bucks, SL8 5DG.
Ventilation
The following ventilation requirements must be satisfied.
a) If the stove is installed in a builder’s opening or fireplace recess that has an air supply entering
this opening or recess from below floor level, this must be completely sealed off.
b) If there is another gas appliance fitted in the same room, or adjacent area, or extractor fan
system, air conditioning, etc., it will be necessary to refer to current British Standards to ascertain
the additional precautions necessary.
c) The correct amount of Free Air ventilation must be installed in accordance to current British
Standards and regulations (see appliance technical data for Free Air requirement).
If any of the pre-installation checks reveal inadequacies, they must be rectified.
