The Chimney; Pipe Connections - Morso 3410 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

1.5 The chimney

Only if National or Local Regulations permit are you permitted to connect a stove into a chim-
ney that is shared by another appliance. YOU MUST be aware of any applicable Regulations
in this respect.
The wood-burning stove must never be connected to a chimney to which a gas-burning stove
or appliance is connected. An efficient modern stove places heavy demands on the chimney,
and you should have the chimney regularly swept and inspected by your approved chimney
sweep. The cross-sectional area of the chimney (at its narrowest point) must comply with Na-
tional and Local Building Regulations. Generally, the area needed for a Morsø wood-burning
stove installation should measure at least 175 cm2 (150 mm diameter).
An over-sized chimney is generally hard to keep warm and results in poor draft. In cases where
there is an oversized masonry chimney, it is recommended that the chimney be lined using an
appropriate chimney lining system with the correct internal diameter.
With respect to the chimney termination, all chimneys should terminate in accordance with
National and Local Building Regulations. Note that National and Local Regulations also ap-
ply with regard to the placement of chimneys and flues in connection with thatched roofs.
See the section on Draft Conditions, 1.9.
The chimney or flue system must be equipped with access doors for inspection and clean-
ing. The size of the cleaning door in the chimney must at least equal to that of the cross-
sectional area of the chimney. In the event that a chimney fire occurs resulting from faulty
operation or prolonged use of damp wood fuel, close the air vents completely and contact
your local fire department immediately.
1.6 Fluepipe connections
The stove comes standard with a smoke outlet
(1) and a ball lock (3) at the top, and a cast-iron
cover mounted on the cast-iron back panel be-
hind the convection back panels. If you want to
install the stove with the smoke outlet at the
back, knock the iron plates on the convection
back panels out of the small "bridges" which
hold the plates in place, using light, steady ham-
mer taps. Unbolt the cast-iron cover from the
back panel by turning it anti-clockwise, and in-
stall it in the top plate by pushing it down and
turning it clockwise. The cover can work as a
clean-out cover, making access easier for the
annual cleaning of the stove. Centre the smoke
outlet in the hole at the back of the stove and
bolt it securely in place with the bolts and
clamps provided. The ball lock is not used, if the
stove is fitted with the outlet at the back.
Please note: During firing, the cleaning valve
(2) must always be installed correctly in the
baffle as the top cover may otherwise over-
heat and sustain permanent damage.
