Chimney Requirements
An existing chimney or a new flue installation should be given a visual inspection to check
that it is in good order, clear of obstructions and is of suitable size and type for the stove. It
may be necessary to sweep the flue, which should always be done prior to fitting a stove
or lining a chimney. We also recommend that a smoke test is carried out to check for gas
tightness and chimney draft. We recommend lining and insulating your chimney. There
should be access to the chimney to allow for sweeping.
Air Damper
It is recommended that chimneys with a strong updraft be fitted with a flue damper or
draught stabiliser to allow the chimney draught to be regulated. No damper should close
the flue way completely, 20% of the total opening of the chimney or flue pipe must remain
open at all times.
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
An approved carbon monoxide alarm must be installed when any solid fuel appliance is
installed. Carbon Monoxide alarms need to meet European safety standards and must be
audible. They must be fitted in accordance to the manufacturer's instructions.
Please Note: An alarm is no substitute for regular maintenance and chimney sweeping.
FLUE
The minimum flue draught required for nominal heat output is 12 Pascal's. At nominal heat
output, the flue gas temperature will be in the region of 242°C. The appliance should not
be connected to a shared flue. The design of the flue installation should allow access for
sweeping. The stove has both rear and top flue connections. Seal the flue connections
with fire cement or a high temperature rope seal. The flue blanking plate should be
positioned over whichever outlet is not being used. The stove can be run on a 5" (125mm)
flue system.
