FLUE SYSTEMS
WARNING: Only operate this appliance if connect-
ed to a properly installed and maintained chimney
system.
This stove must be connected to a flue system capa-
ble of providing a continuous negative pressure of at
least 0.03" wg draught.
This appliance should be connected to a 125mm (5")
flue system. Before installation check that the chim-
ney is clean and clear of obstructions.
brickwork and leaking joints must be made good.
Do not connect to a flue serving another appliance.
Always ensure that connection is to a chimney of the
same size - never connect to one of smaller dimen-
sions.
All chimneys and flue systems must have a cleaning
door fitted. Where a flexible flue liner is fitted, the
liner must be rigidly fixed at the top and bottom of
the flue. The liner should be cleaned lightly with any
soot removed through a suitable cleaning door.
BLOCKED CHIMNEYS ARE DANGEROUS. THE
FLUE MUST BE INSPECTED AT LEAST ANNUAL-
LY AND CLEANED WHEN NECESSARY.
STANLEY CAST IRON PIPES AND BENDS ARE
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR INTERIOR USE.
USE OF EXISTING FLUES & CHIMNEYS
An existing flue pipe or chimney that has proved to
be satisfactory when used for solid fuel can normal-
ly be used for this appliance provided that its con-
struction dimensions and condition are acceptable.
Flues that have proved to be unsatisfactory, particu-
larly with regard to down draught should not be con-
sidered for this appliance until they have been
examined and any faults corrected.
Before connecting this appliance to a chimney or
flue pipe which has previously been used with
another fuel, the chimney or flue should be thor-
oughly swept and lined accordingly.
The combustion products of oil burning appliances
will have a descalling effect on hardened soot
deposits left from burning solid fuels.
A LTHOUGH THE FLUE MAY H AVE BEEN
CLEANED OF LOOSE SOOT PRIOR TO INSTAL-
LATION, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE CHIMNEY
IS INSPECTED FOR SCALED SOOT PARTICLES
AFTER THE FIRST MONTH OF OPERATION AND
ANY LOOSE MATERIALS REMOVED TO AVOID
BLOCKAGE.
NOTE: Never connect to a chimney or flue
system serving another appliance.

Cracked
If connecting to an existing oversized chimney it is
necessary to line the flue using 125mm - 5" rigid of
flexible preferably rigid stainless steel class 1 or
class 2 flue liner that comply with B.S. 4543
Part 1 & 3.
Use single skin pipe for the purpose of flue lining.
Due to their inability to retain heat never use single
skin pipe as the flue system only.
