The distance between the stove and wooden or synthetic
furniture must be at least 30 cm.
In the event of installation on floors that are not heat-resistant,
or heat-sensitive subfloors in particular, the stove should be
placed on a floor sheet.
4.4 CHIMNEY
The chimney connection must be able to withstand
temperatures of at least 400 °C.
The exhaust pipe between the stove and the chimney must be
of the same diameter as the stoves flanged bus. The chimney
should not be tapered and should preferably be square or
round.
Insulate places where the chimney can cool suddenly with
insulation materials.
Modern flue channels composed of elements are preferable to
flue channels constructed out of other materials.
Horizontal pipes longer than 0.5 metres must be placed at a 10°
incline. Uninsulated or non-vertical pipes may not be longer
than 1 metre.
Minimal Distances
The chimney must be installed at least 20 cm from all
combustible fixtures and fittings, such as wooden or plastic
frames or carpeting.
The chimney must be fitted at least 40 cm from wood or plastic
ceilings.
This distance may be reduced to 20 cm, provided the exterior
temperature of the chimney does not exceed 85°C, or provided
a heat protection screen (with air flow on two sides) is installed
between the pipe and any combustible materials.
GB 6
We recommend the following interior dimensions for smooth,
well-insulated chimneys with an effective height of 5 to 15
metres:
Maximum
single stove
ø16 cm or 16x16 cm
two stoves
ø20 cm or 20x20 cm
For rough-walled chimneys, increase these values by 1 to 2 cm.
Effective drawing height:
- For a flue with multiple connections, the effective drawing
height from the heart of the exhaust pipe connection to the
top of the flue should be at least 5 metres.
- For a flue with 1 connection, the effective drawing height must
be at least 4 metres.
- If the drawing height is nevertheless shorter than 4 metres, a
vertical one-metre high exhaust pipe must be fitted to the stove
before connection to the chimney (figure 1).
