1.1 Single flueway or chimney - Fig. 2÷6
Every appliance must have a vertical flue pipe operating by natural
draught to discharge the combustion gases outdoors.
The flue must:
-comply with regulations in force in the place of installation of the
appliance;
-be tight to the products of combustion, waterproof, suitably insulated,
made with materials resistant to the corrosion of the gases and to
stress;
- be connected to just one stove, fireplace or extraction hood;
- be properly sized, with constant free internal section, equal to or
greater than the diameter of the flue pipe of the stove and at least 3.5
min length;
- be mainly in a vertical position with a deflection from the axis of no
more than 45° (Fig. 2);
- be at a suitable distance from combustible or flammable materials,
ensured by an air gap or suitable insulating material;
- be of uniform internal section, preferably round. Square or rectangu-
lar sections must have rounded corners with a radius of at least
20mm and a maximum ratio between the sides of 1.5 (Fig. 4). The
walls must be smooth if possible and without narrowing. Bends must
be regular and without discontinuity (Fig. 3 - 4 - 5).
It is forbidden to make fixed or mobile apertures on the flue
pipe to connect appliances other than the one to which it is
already connected.
It is forbidden to pass other air ducts or service pipes inside
the flue pipe, however large it is.
If the flue pipe is an incorrect size or installed other than in
compliance with the above instructions, Gruppo Piazzetta
S.p.A. cannot be held liable for malfunctioning of the product,
damage to property or injury to persons or animals.
1.2 Soot inspection - Fig. 1
-The flue must have a chamber for collecting solid matter and any
condensate located below the connection and which may be easily
inspected by means of an airtight door. (Fig.1)
- The bends connecting to the flue must have inspection points that
allowthe system to be checked, cleaned and maintained.

1.3 Chimney stack - Fig. 7 ÷ 11
The flue must be fitted at the top with a device called a chimney stack,
designed to aid dispersion of the products of combustion in the atmo-
sphere.
The chimney stack must comply with the following requirements:
-
itmust have an internal section and shape the same as the flue;
- it must have a useful outlet section of not less than twice that of the flue;
- the part of the flue that emerges from the roof or remains in contact with the
outside (e.g. in the case of an open loft), must be covered with brick or tile ele-
ments and in any case well insulated. It must be built in such a way as to pre-
vent the penetration of rain, snow and foreign matter into the flue and to ensu-
re that in the event of winds from all directions and angle, discharge of the
combustion products is assured (chimney stack with down-draught cowl);
- any buildings or other obstacles that are higher than the chimney stack must
not be too close to the actual stack Fig.8 - Fig.9;
- the chimney stack must be positioned in such a way as to ensure adequate
dispersion and dilution of the products of combustion and in any case outsi-
de the reflux area.The size and shape of this area differ according to the angle
of inclination of the roof and it is therefore necessary to adopt the minimum
heights shown in Fig.10;
Example: Check the slope of the roof (column α ), and the anticipated
distance of the chimney stack from the axis of the ridge (column A), if
the distance is greater than “A”lthe height of the chimney stack may
be read in (column H); if the distance is less than “A”the chimney stack
must rise above the ridge by 0.5 metres.

1.4 Fresh air intake - Fig. 12÷15
The stove/fireplace must have the necessary air available to ensure
proper combustion.
- Make sure that the room in which the stove/fireplace is to be instal-
led has an air intake of at least the size indicated in the paragraph
“TECHNICAL DATA”.
-The fresh air intake may be protected by an external grille provided it
does not reduce the minimum section of the recommended airflow
and is in a position whereby it cannot be obstructed.
The air necessary for the fire may be obtained in different ways:
-Figure 12 through an external grille direct to the room of installation;
-Figure 13 with ducting through pipes direct to the room of installa-
tion, increasing the recommended minimum free cross section by at
least 15%;
-Figure 14 through a communicating hole from an adjacent room to
the place of installation: this system may only be used if the air flows
freely from the outside through fixed apertures;
-Figure 15 from an adjacent room to the place of installation, but only
if the air flows freely through apertures communicating with the out-
side.
1.5 Installation environment
The appliance should be installed in a location which allows safe and
convenient use as well as easy maintenance. If the product being
installed requires an electrical socket, the room must also be provided
with an earthed power supply in accordance with current regulations.
The installation of a wood-burning appliance in a bedroom,
bath or shower room or in any room where another heating
system not equipped with its own air supply (fireplace, stove
etc.) has already been installed is forbidden.
The room or rooms adjacent to that where the appliance is to be instal-
led must conform to the following requirements:
It must not be used as a car bay,a store for combustible mate-
rial, nor for any activity which carries a risk of fire.
It must not be pressurised relative to normal atmospheric pres-
sure as a result of the draught created by a prior installation of
an open fire or of an extractor system.
In the same location do not install two stoves, a stove and a fire-
place, a stove and a wood-burning range etc, since the draught
from one device can interfere with the draught from another.
- The use of equipment adapted for cooking food with non-extractor
hoods is permissible only in rooms to be used as kitchens.
-Equipment using gas type C is permitted (refer to regulations in force
in the place of installation).

Equipment using gas type B is not permitted (refer to regula-
tions in force in the place of installation).
Using the stove or flue simultaneously with shared ventilation
systems is not permitted, whether with or without extractor
fans. Similarly the use of other devices or equipment, such as
air-conditioning systems or other heating systems which use
fans to circulate air, is not permitted. These devices can cause
the atmosphere around the stove to become pressurised even
if installed in adjacent, communicating rooms.
1.6 Capacity load of the floor
Check the load-bearing capacity of the floor, referring to the weight of the
product given in the paragraph “TECHNICAL DATA”.
If the floor does not have a suitable load-bearing capacity, adequate coun-
termeasures must be taken, for example, by using a sheet metal plate to
distribute the load.
1.7 Heating capacity
Check the heating capacity of the appliance by comparing the rated power
given in the paragraph “TECHNICAL DATA” with the power required by the
environment to be heated.
The energy requirement may be calculated approximately by multiplying
the square metres of area by the height of the ceiling; the result is then
multiplied by a coefficient, which depends on the degree of insulation of
the building, that is, on internal and external factors of the dwelling:
a) Internal factors: type of window and door frames, thickness of the
insulation and walls, type of building materials, presence of stairwells,
walls with extensive glazing, high ceilings, position of the rooms to be
heated in relation to other adjacent heated or unheated rooms, …
b) External factors: geographical position, average outdoor temperatu-
re, exposure, wind speed, latitude, altitude, …
Example of approximate calculation of the energy requirement to
heat a fixed volume to 18/20° C:
The coefficient that is normally used is determined according to the real
conditions as they occur case by case.
-From 0.04 to 0.05 kW per cubic metre in a well insulated environment
- From 0.05 to 0.06 kW per cubic metre in a poorly insulated environ-
ment.
3 rooms measuring 20m2 X (H ceiling) 2.7m = 162 m3 (volume)
In an environment with a good degree of insulation, an average value
(coefficient) of 0.045 kW may be taken
162 (volume) X 0.045 (kW) = 7.3 kW necessary (6300 kcal/h)
Conversion 1kW = 860 kcal/h
Consult a heating technician or engineer for a correct check
and calculation of the requirement of the environments to be
heated (see “REFERENCE STANDARDS”).
Rated power being equal, products with the Multi-fire system
can evenly distribute heat throughout the rooms to be heated.

1.8 Minimum safety distances - Fig. 16÷18
With reference to the above diagram, the minimum safe distances from
heat sensitive or inflammable materials, such as load bearing and other
walls are:
A20 cm from the wall behind the stove
B60 cm from the side wall
C100 cm in the radiating area
In the case of flooring that is heat sensitive or inflammable the floor
should be protected (using for example sheets of steel plate, marble or
tiles).
The minimum distances are:
D50 cm;
E30 cm (measured from the internal corner of the door opening).
Keep any combustible product well away from the stove when it
is lit (minimum distance from the heat radiation area), for exam-
ple: wooden furniture, curtains, carpets, combustible liquids, etc.
1.9 Flue system - Fig. 19-20
The pellet stove is not the same as other stoves. The smoke is
propelled by a fan which keeps the combustion chamber pres-
surised and the entire flue system slightly pressurised. For this
reason the flue must be completely airtight and correctly instal-
led to ensure both trouble-free operation and user safety.
- The construction of the exhaust system must be undertaken by spe-
cialised personnel or firms, as outlined in the following pages.
-Installation of the flue should be completed in such a way as to gua-
rantee that periodic cleaning can be carried out without dismantling
the entire system.
- Pipes should always be sealed with silicone (not cement-based
sealants) or specially adapted washers which will retain their elastic
and resistant properties at high temepratures (250°C). These should
be attached with 3.9mm-diameter self-threading screws.
The installation of flaps or valves which might block the pas-
sage of the smoke is not permitted.
The installation of other devices (boilers, extractor hoods etc)
which might release fumes or vapours into the flue system is
not permitted.

Pipes and maximum usable lengths
Pipes of aluminium-clad painted steel (minimum thickness
1.5mm), stainless steel (Aisi 316) or enamelled steel (minimum
thickness 0.5mm) with a nominal diameter of 80 or 100mm (for
pipes which run inside the flue maximum diameter 150mm) can be
used.
The male-female connectors must have a minimum length of
50mm.
The diameter of the pipes used depends on the type of installation.
The stove was designed to take 80mm-diameter pipes but, as
shown in Table 1, in some cases the use of double-lined 100mm-
diameter pipes is recommended.
Losses associated with a 90° bend can be compared to those
incurred by one metre of pipe. An inspectable T-connector
can be considered equivalent to a 90° bend.
EXAMPLE: If installing a section greater than 4.5m in length with
80mm-diameter pipe, calculate the maximum usable length in the fol-
lowing ways:
-If in the section to be fitted a maximum of three 90° bends are used,
the maximum length of the section will be 4.5m.
- If in the section to be fitted a maximum of two 90° bends are used
and bearing in mind that a 90° bend can be replaced by one meter of
pipe, the maximum length of the section will be 4.5m+1m=5.5m.
-If in the section to be fitted a maximum of one 90°bend is used and
bearing in mind that a 90° bend can be replaced by one meter of
pipe, the maximum length of the section will be
4.5m+1m+1m=6.5m.
Where 100mm-diameter pipe must be used, connect it to the stove’s
exhaust outlet with a 80mm T-connector then use a 80mm-100mm
adaptor (not supplied by Piazzetta) (Fig 19).
T-connector
The use of this type of connector must allow for the collection of con-
densation mixed with suit which builds up inside the pipe. It must also
permit the periodic cleaning of the flue without the need to dismantle
the pipes.
This type of connctor can be bought at Piazzetta outlets together with
the pipes.
Outlined below is an example of a set-up which can be cleaned enti-
rely without the need to dismantle the pipes (Fig 20).
