It is highly recommended that an approved and certified flexible flue liner that complies with
current National laws, Building Regulations and any Rules in Force of the correct internal
diameter be used to line the chimney, the liner must be approved for use with wood burning and
approved smokeless fuels. Flue liner installation must comply with current National laws,
Building Regulations, and any Rules in force, also refer to the flue liner manufacturer’s
instructions. The flue liner must be replaced when an appliance is replaced, unless proven to be
recently installed and in good condition.
The cross-sectional area of the chimney (at its narrowest point) must comply with current National
and Local Building Regulations and any Rules in Force. Generally, the area needed for a multi fuel
burning stove installation should measure at least 150 mm internal diameter. Please refer to current
National laws, Building Regulations and any Rules in Force.
Important note: The Easedale 5 SE has been tested for smoke exemption so a minimum internal
flue diameter of 125mm can normally be used. *(This must be confirmed with HETAS or Local
Authority Building Control and all current National laws, Building regulations and any Rules in
Force).
An over-sized chimney is generally hard to keep warm and results in poor draft. In cases where
there is an oversized masonry chimney, it is highly recommended that the chimney be lined using
an appropriate and approved chimney lining system with the correct internal diameter as stated
above.
With respect to the chimney termination, all chimneys should terminate in accordance with current
National and Local Building Regulations and any Rules in Force.
Note that current National and Local Regulations also apply regarding the placement of chimneys
and flues in connection with thatched roofs.
The chimney or flue system must be equipped with access doors for inspection and cleaning. The
size of the cleaning door in the chimney must at least equal to that of the cross-sectional area of
the chimney. In the event that a chimney fire occurs resulting from faulty operation or prolonged
use of damp wood fuel, if safely possible close the air vents of the stove completely, evacuate all
persons from the building and contact your local fire department immediately.
2.5 Stove Pipe connection .
Refer to current National laws, Building Regulations, and any Rules in Force including BS
8303 and BS EN 15287-1:2007. Also refer to Approved Document J (England & Wales)
There are two stove flue exits enabling either top or rear venting depending on installation
requirements.
Install the flue collar to the stove securely using the bolts supplied to the flue exit position required,
ensure the joint between the flue collar and stove is fully sealed using suitable stove sealer or
gasket. Install the blanking plate securely to blank the redundant stove flue exit using the fixing
bolts supplied, ensure the blanking plate is fully sealed to the stove using suitable stove sealer or
gasket See figures 3 and 3A.
A suitably gauged metal rigid stove flue pipe of the correct size complying with current National
laws, Building Regulations, and any Rules in Force (not supplied), is connected to the flue collar.
The joint between the stove collar and rigid stove pipe MUST BE fully sealed using suitable stove
rope / fire cement. When the rigid stove flue pipe is fully inserted into the stove flue collar drill
two suitably sized holes in a suitable position 180 apart through the stove flue collar and rigid
stove pipe and use either corrosion proof self-tapping screws or bolts, nut and washers of suitable
size to ensure the rigid stove pipe is unable to be pulled out of the stove collar. Ensure the
