Chimney - Stanley Cara+ Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

CHIMNEY

THIS PRODUCT IS SUITABLE FOR CHIMNEY
INSTALLATION ONLY.
The stove is a radiant room heater and must be con-
nected to a chimney of the proper size and type.
The chimney must have a diameter of at least
150mm. It is recommended that a flue liner of diam-
eter 150mm be used to line the chimney, the liner
should be approved for use with solid fuel. See
Fig.3.
An adaptor is available where required to fit between
the flue outlet and a 6" flexible flue liner.
Never connect to a smaller size chimney. Do not
connect to a chimney serving another appliance.
In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily the
chimney height must be sufficient to provide a con-
tinuous draught of at least 15 Pa so as to clear the
products of combustion and prevent smoke prob-
lems into the room.
NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres
measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to
the top of the chimney should be satisfactory.
Alternatively the calculation procedure given in EN
13384-1 may be used as the basis for deciding
whether a particular chimney design will provide suf-
ficient draught.
The outlet from the chimney should be above the
roof of the building in accordance with the provisions
of Building Regulations Approved Document J.
It is permitted to connect using a closure plate and a
connection piece from the stove to the closure plate
(See Fig. 4), provided that the chimney is of sound
construction with no leaks or cracks, a clay flue liner
has been used that can withstand up to 1000
the clay liner has a diameter no greater than
200mm.
If installation is into an existing chimney then it must
Fig 2
be sound and have no cracks or other faults which
might allow fumes into the house. Older properties,
especially, may have chimney faults or the cross
section may be too large i.e. greater than 10" diam-
eter. Remedial action should be taken, if required,
seeking expert advice, if necessary. If it is found nec-
essary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable
for solid fuel must be used in accordance with
Building Regulations Approved Document J.
Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction
and have been swept clean immediately before
installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place
of an open fire then the chimney should be swept
one month after installation to clear any soot falls
which may have occurred due to the difference in
combustion between the stove and the open fire.
Any bend in the chimney or connecting flue pipe
should not exceed 45
used.
Combustible material should not be located where
the heat dissipating through the walls of fireplaces or
flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the
stove in the presence of combustible materials due
account must be taken of the guidance on the sepa-
ration of combustible material given in Building
Regulations Approved Document J and also in these
stove instructions.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the
chimney then a draught stabiliser should be fitted.
Fitting of a draught stabiliser will affect the require-
ment for the permanent air supply into the room in
which the stove is fitted in accordance with
Approved Document J (see also combustion air sup-
ply).
The chimney can be swept through the stove or
alternatively an easily accessible soot door can be
provided for sweeping the chimney and connecting
flue pipe.
