FLUE
FOREWORD
This Flue chapter has been drawn up with reference to the provisions of European regulations (EN13384 - EN1443 - EN1856 - EN1457).
The chapter provides indications for installing an efficient and correct flue but is under no circumstances to substitute the regulations in
force, which the qualified manufacturer must be in possession of. Check with local authorities whether there are any restrictive regulations
in force regarding the combustion air intake, the smoke outlet system, the flue or the chimneypot.
The Company declines all liability relating to the poor functioning of the stove if this is due to the use of an insufficiently sized flue in
violation of the standards in force.
FLUE
The flue or chimney is of great importance for the proper operation of a solid fuel-burning heating appliance with natural draught, as
modern heating appliances have high efficiency with cooler flue gas and consequently less draught, it is therefore essential that the flue is
built to a high standard and always kept in perfect working order. A flue that serves a wood-burning appliance must be at least category
T400 (or greater if the appliance requires so) and resistant to soot fires. Smoke must be extracted through a single flue made of insulated
steel or an existing flue that complies with the intended use (B).
A simple air shaft made of cement must be suitably piped. In both solutions there must be an inspection cap and/or inspection hatch (AP).
It is prohibited to connect more than one wood/pellet or any other type of appliance (vent cowling...) to the same flue.
