Flues; Chimney - Stanley Cara Plus Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

FLUES

Flues should be vertical wherever possible and
where a bend is necessary, it should not make an
angle of more than 45
flue runs should be avoided in order to minimise flue
resistance and to make sweeping easier it is recom-
mended to use 2 x 45
bend.

CHIMNEY

Do not connect to a chimney serving another
appliance.
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 cross-sectional area of at
least 30 square inches 19350sq. mm or a diameter
of at least 6" (150mm). It is best to connect to a
chimney of the same size, as connection to a larger
size may result in a somewhat less draught.
A flue that has proved to be unsatisfactory, particu-
larly with regard to down draught should not be used
for venting this appliance until it has been examined
and any faults corrected. An existing masonry chim-
ney should be inspected and if necessary repaired
by a competent mason or relined using an approved
lining system.
The stove must be connected to a chimney with a
minimum continuous draught of 0.06" w.g.
draught conditions will result in poor performance.
All register plates, restrictor plates, damper etc.,
which could obstruct the flue at a future date should
be removed before connecting this appliance.
If connecting to an existing chimney with a flue
diameter of more that 8" it is recommend to line the
flue using a suitable stainless steel flue liner.
Where a masonry chimney is not available a propri-
etary type of 6"/150mm - twin wall, fully insulated
pipe may be used.
A chimney / flue termination must be located to min-
imise wind effects, a basic guide is that the distance
from the termination to the roof should be at be at
least 2300mm when measured horizontally and at
least 1000mm when measured vertically, (see
Fig.2). In circumstances where there are adjoining
buildings/ structures/ roof openings there are addi-
tional requirements, please refer to building regula-
tions part J.
