Measures To Be Taken On To Cross Walls And Ceilings - LASIAN AUDAX 6 KW User And Installation Manual

5.3.3- MEASURES TO BE TAKEN ON TO CROSS WALLS AND CEILINGS

To expel the gas duct outside, the flue duct has to cross some walls of the place where is installed, even
sometimes, it must pass through more than a stay up to the ridge.
The size of the holes to practice depends on the duct diameter and the enclosure material to pass through. Once
the duct has been installed, the space between the hole and the duct must be with mineral-based insulating barrier
(rock wool, ceramic fiber), with a nominal density greater than 80 kg/m
Minimum holes to practice and insulation thickness table:
Wall in flammable wood or with
flammable parts
Wall or ceiling in cement
Wall or ceiling in brick
5.4 DUCT OR CHIMNEY
To expel outside the flue gas produced during the combustion in the stove, we need to connect it to a flue duct or
chimney.
5.4.1- GENERAL NOTES
For the installation of the chimney, it must be taken into account the following points:
Each stove must have its own duct or chimney, in which it cannot been connected any other fireplace, stove, boiler
or any kind of extractor (fig. 5.3).
The chimney route will be as short as possible and it always will search the maximum vertical direction. The
diameter will be chosen according to the guidelines of paragraph "5.4.2- CHOICE AND CALCULATION OF THE
DUCT".
The inner section should be uniform, preferably circular: square or rectangular sections must have rounded edges
with a radius of at least 20 mm; regular bends without discontinuities, deviations from the axis no greater than 45°
(Fig. 5.4).
It is forbidden the installation of dampers or valves that could block the passage of flue gas.
Avoiding horizontal sections of chimney because this leads to fouling problems and it requires the cleaning of
these sections more frequently. In case of being unavoidable, it will give a minimal upward inclination in the
direction of gas flow, and a "T" will be installed in the changes of direction to clean the ducts without disassembly it
(see Fig. 5.5).
To install the duct certain distances and safety regulations must be observed (see paragraph "5.3- DOMESTIC
FIRE PREVENTION").
The flue duct must always finish its route upright, and shall have on top a device called cowl (see paragraph
"5.4.5- FLUE DUCT ENDING").
Always carry out the unloading installation so that periodic cleaning is assured without having to dismantle any
part. It is advisable that the flue is equipped with a solid material collection chamber and possible condensations
beneath the mouth of the duct to be easily opened and inspected from the door hermetically (see Fig. 5.5).
The draw of the smoke is forced thanks to an extractor that keeps the combustion chamber in
depression and all the discharge pipes under a slight pressure. It is required to verify that this
extractor is installed correctly and completely tight and firm, both for performance and safety.
