Fireplace Flue Gas; The Chimney Cap - Kalor Cloe 17B User Manual

Fireplace flue gas

Avoid contact with combustible materials (example:
wooden beams) and in any case provide for their insulation
with flame retardant material. In case of pipe penetrations
through roofs or walls is recommended to use special
kits crossing, certificates, are available commercially.
In the event of a chimney fire, turn off the Hydro Insert,
disconnect from the network and never open the door.
Then call the authorities.

The chimney cap

The chimney cap must respect the following requirements:
• It must have the equivalent diameter and internal form
of the flue.
• It must have a useful outlet diameter of not less than
double that of the flue.
• The chimney cap on the roof or that remains in contact
with the outside (for example, in case of open lofts or
attics), must be covered with elements in brick or tile
and must, in any case, be well insulated.
• It must be constructed to prevent rain, snow, and
extraneous bodies from entering the flue and so that
the discharge of the products of combustion is not
inhibited by wind from any quarter or strength (wind-
proof chimney cap).
• The chimney cap must be positioned in such a way as
to guarantee the adequate dispersion and dilution of the
products of combustion and in any case, must be out of
the reflux zone. This zone has different dimensions and
forms according to the angle of inclination of the roof so
it is necessary to adopt minimum heights (Fig. 2).
• The chimney cap must be a wind-proof type and must
be above the ridge.
• Eventual structures or other obstacles that are higher
than the chimney cap must not be too close to the
chimney cap itself.
