DT2010024-02 1.1 SINGLE ChIMNEy OR FLUEwAy Every appliance must have a vertical flue pipe operating by natural Fig. 2 draught to discharge the combustion gases outdoors. The flue must: - Comply with regulations in force in the place of installation of the appliance.
DT2010025-03 1.3 ChIMNEy STACk The chimney stack is a device fitted on the top of the chimney that is designed to Fig. 7 Fig. 8 aid dispersion of the products of combustion in the atmosphere. The chimney stack must comply with the following requirements: - It must have an internal section and shape the same as the flue (A).
DT2010539-03 1.4 FRESh AIR INTAkE To ensure trouble-free operation the stove/firebox must have the Fig. 12 Fig. 13 necessary air available for combustion and this is provided through the fresh air intake. The fresh air intake must: - Have a total free cross section at least equal to the size given in the paragraph “TECHNICAL DATA”.
Gas appliances of type B are not allowed (refer to current legislation and regulations in the place of installation). The firebox must not be used simultaneously with collective type ventilation ducts with or without extractor fan, other devices or other appliances such as: forced ventilation systems or other heating systems using ventilation to change the air. Such systems could cause a vacuum in the environment of installation even if installed in adjoining or communicating rooms.
4,5 m + 1 m + 1 m = 6,5 m. Where 100 mm diameter pipe must be used, connect it to the stove flue outlet with a 80mm union-tee then use a 80 mm 100 mm adaptor (not supplied by Superior) (Fig. 16). H072058UK0 / DT2001650 – 00...

• Check that the connection to the flueway is gas/smoke-tight, since Fig. 19 the appliance operates in a vacuum. CLOSING FLANGE • Check that the pipe does not penetrate too far into the flueway, thereby choking the pipe for the passage of smoke and combustion gases. Ensure that all installation work is carried out to professional standards.
