PRECONDITIONS

BUILDING NOTICE

Building notice may be required for the installation of
a fireplace insert. Contact the Planning and Building
Committee in your municipality for up-to-date infor-
mation.

FLUE

Keddy's fireplace inserts may be connected to a flue
approved for a minimum of 350°C. The fireplace
inserts are also approved for connection to older
masonry chimneys with enclosing walls that are only
half a brick thick. Naturally, fireplace inserts can also
be connected to chimneys made of prefabricated ele-
ments, e.g. the Heda Chimney.
If you want to connect your insert to an existing chim-
ney, you must ensure the duct is smoke-tight before
installation. Contact your local chimney sweep or
specialist before beginning installation.
For the installation to function satisfactorily, the nega-
tive pressure (draught) must be at least 12 pa during
nominal operation. To achieve this, the chimney
should be at least 3.5 m tall and have an area of ap-
prox. 120 cm2.
COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
For the combustion of wood air/supply air is required.
Fireplace inserts can be supplied with outdoor supply
air via an outdoor air unit. (Accessory) The aim of
bringing outdoor air to the combustion is to counter-
act the negative pressure that can occur in houses
with mechanical ventilation. This is not normally
necessary for a fireplace insert as it is installed in an
existing open fireplace, which is designed to work in
the house atmosphere.
A sheet metal drum can be used to extend an out-
door air duct. The connection diameter of the supply
air hose to the stove is 63 mm. If the duct is more
than 1 m long, the diameter of the sheet metal drum
must be increased to 100 mm. The drum can be con-
nected from below or from the rear, see illustration.
(The insert's maximum need for combustion air is
approx. 15 m3/h)
Do not take the supply air from crawl spaces. If there
is a crawl space, the sheet metal drum must be ex-
tended to a valve in the foundation wall. If the space
is heated, the supply air channel must be insulated
against condensation.
