Fitting The Flue Outlet And Cover Plate; Flues & Chimneys - Hamlet SOLUTION Operating & Installation Manual

INSTALLATION
FITTING THE FLUE OUTLET
The flue outlet spigot may fitted onto the stove, but
will not be fully tightened
The flue outlet assembly can be orientated for top
or rear flue exit as shown in fig 1a & b.
The outlet pipe flange is pre fitted with a gasket
rope seal. Additional fire cement may be added if
required.
The flue pipe assembly is secured in place with 4
off M5 bolts supplied. Tighten bolts diagonally &
evenly to ensure full compression of the gasket but
Do Not over tighten.
Place appliance on the hearth and make sure that
it is level and does not rock.
Connect the chimney ensuring all joints are sealed
with fire cement.
Note :
The flue pipe must be fitted inside the outlet
spigot. Failure to do so could result in the spillage
of condensation running down the flue, (See fig.1c)

Fitting the canopy cover plate if rear
flue installation is used
The canopy flue cover plate
assembly consists of a cover
plate, retaining bar and wing
nut as shown in Fig. 1d
Sit the cover plate onto
the canopy so as to
ensure the back fold is
flush with the back edge
of the canopy.
Locate the retaining bar
onto the 6mm stud and
secure in place with the
M6 wing nut provided.
Ensure the cover plate is
located centrally about
the flue pipe cut out in
the canopy. See Fig. 1e
FLUES AND CHIMNEYS
The flue draw is critical on any installation and
should be checked to ensure that it matches what
is specified. If it is higher than recommended,
provision must be made to correct the over draw.
The draw can vary in different weather conditions
and the customer should be made aware of this.
Failure to correct an over-drawing flue will
invalidate the warranty.
Please remember that chimney draught is
dependent on four main factors :-

Flue gas temperature

Flue Diameter and Height

Flue terminal
The stove must be connected to a suitable and
efficient flue so that products of combustion
(fumes) from the stove are expelled to the outside
air. To ensure a good up draught it is important
that the flue gases are kept warm and that the flue
size suits the stove. The termination of the outlet at
the top of the flue also needs to comply with
Building Regulations.
The minimum effective height of the flue must be
at least 4.5 metres from the top of the stove to the
top of the flue outlet. When warm the flue draught
should be between 0.1 to 0.2 mbar.
A chimney may comply with regulations but could
still be subject to down draught and similar
problems. A chimney terminating above the ridge
level is generally less likely to suffer such
problems.
