FLUE POSITION
FLUE HEIGHTS AND TERMINATION
The minimum flue height recommended for optimum
performance of our fireplaces is 4.5 m from the top of the
firebox to the top of the external flue. It is best to position
the flue so that it goes straight up as near to the roof ridge
as possible. The diagram over page shows the minimum
flue discharge heights and positions for all wood burning
and multi fuel applications.
In some cases, particularly when flues are towards
the bottom of a sloping roof or at the eaves, it may
be necessary to increase the flue height above these
minimum mandatory requirements. The reason for this is
to clear pressure zones created by wind hitting the roof
and nearby structures, like trees, which may interfere
with the up draught required by the appliance or fire.
Tall flues may need bracing, always consult your installer
for advice.
