Down Draughts - Stanley Erin Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

TOP FLUE EXIT
Take the flue spigot and before fitting it to the stove
place a small amount of fire cement on the inside
flange of the outlet and push the flue spigot into
place making sure the spigot is properly sealed to
the stove. Remove any excess cement from the
inside of the flue spigot to prevent obstruction of the
flue way.

REAR FLUE EXIT
Fit the top cover plate to the stove with the two
screws holding on the rear exit cover plate making
sure that the sealing rope is properly seated on the
stove flue outlet. Tighten screws. See Fig.21.

DOWN DRAUGHTS

However well designed constructed and positioned,
the satisfactory performance of the flue can be
adversely affected by down draught caused by near-
by hills, adjacent tall buildings or trees. These can
deflect wind to blow directly down the flue or create
a zone of low pressure over the terminal.
A suitable terminal or cowl will usually effectively
combat direct down blow but no cowl is likely to pre-
vent down draught due to a low pressure zone.
