CONNECTION TO THE EXTERNAL AIR INTAKE

2.4.
It is essential that at least as much air must be able to flow into the
room where the stove is installed as is required for proper combustion
in the appliance and for the ventilation of the room. This can be
effected by means of permanent openings in the walls of the room to
be ventilated, which give onto the outside, or by single or collective
ventilation ducts.
For this purpose, on the external wall near the stove, a hole must be
made with a minimum free cross-section of 100 cm². (equivalent to a
round hole of 12 cm diameter or a square hole 10x10 cm), protected by
a grille on the inside and the outside.
The air intake must also:
 communicate directly with the room where the stove is installed
 be protected by a grille, metal mesh or suitable guard, as long as
this does not reduce the area below the minimum.
 be positioned in such a way as to be impossible to obstruct
It is not compulsory to connect the air intake directly
with the stove (so that it draws air directly from
outside), but it is essential at all events to ensure an
airflow of 50 cubic metres per hour by the use of a
hole of the dimensions given.
