INSTALLATION
Before beginning the installation, check that the details on the rating plate
correspond to the gas type and pressure to which the appliance will be
connected.
A. VENTILATION
Balanced Flue appliances can be installed into a house without the need
for additional ventilation. They can also be installed into a room that has a
forced mechanical ventilation and/or fume extraction without any special
extra requirements.
B. GENERAL BALANCED FLUE NOTES
IMPORTANT
The CE label has been obtained for a connection exclusively made with
Poujoulat and On Top flues.
There are many possibilities for installing this Concentric Balanced Flue
system into a building, both Roof and Wall terminations are possible, and
the flue can either be built into an existing chimney or a completely new
flue system may be constructed.
The system is based upon a Concentric Flue system which utilises an
inner flue of 100mm diameter which passes through an outer flue of
150mm diameter. The flue gasses that are the products of combustion of
the fire, pass through the inner flue and are safely vented to the outside
environment. The gap between the inner and outer flues is the channel by
which the stove is supplied with air for combustion.
These concentric flues terminate outside of the property in a terminal, this
terminal will keep the expelled gasses and the fresh air for combustion
seperate. It is important that the terminal is not blocked, a suitable guard
maybe required if the terminal is located at a "Low" level (usually when the
terminal is within 2m of floor level).
The Balanced Flue gas appliance can be installed as either a built in
appliance in a new fireplace, or be installed as an insert into an existing
open fireplace. If an existing Flue or Chimney is to be utilised, then the
installation engineer must be consulted. If the chimney has been previously
used it must be professionally cleaned and certified as being sound and
fit for use.
The European CE approval on this appliance is restricted to the Flue
systems as specified by the supplier, thus the appliance must only be
insalled with the original flue system, no others may be used.
The following few pages give brief details of terminal location. For further
information including flueing sugestion please refer to the accompaniing
booklet "Balanced Flue Fitting Solutions".
