Page 4: Health And Safety
Take great care when handling materials such as insulation boards, glass fibre ropes, ceramic wool, fire cements, paints and silicones, they are all irritants and suitable protective clothing such as disposable gloves dust masks and protective goggles must be worn. Wash off thoroughly after handling any of these materials. -
Page 5: Output
Maximum flue vacuum requirement .06” W.G. (.204mbar) Unlike rectangular shaped stoves designed to fit into houses, the Corner Bubble Stove is a Marine stove specifically designed for use on Narrow Boats and other craft. Because of its unique shape it can be fitted tightly into corner locations so as not to cause an obstruction to either access way, steps or escape routes. -

The vertical sides are set at a distance of 70mm from the stove body and are constructed from 20mm thick fireproof material, next is a 10mm air gap and then a 20mm fireproof insulation board applied to the lining. Vertical sides including the ventilated, non combustible capping, extend 20cm above the appliance. -

The hearth plate is constructed from 4mm thick steel plate, 80mm above the floor. In the 60mm space beneath the hearth plate a 20mm fireproof insulation board is fitted on 10mm fireproof spacers to space it off the floor. The front up stand is allowed to project 25mm above the hearth plate. Fig 2. -
Page 8: Ventilation
Fig 3 FLUE PIPE A FLUE PIPE B The provision of ventilation for this appliance is 550mm sq for each kilowatt of stove output. This equates to 2200mm sq (4”Square) divided between high and low level, directly to outside air. If the appliance is fitted into a space which has an extractor fan fitted the additional ventilation will be required to compensate for the effects of the extractor unit. -
Page 9: Securely Fastening The Appliance
Try Stove in position. Mark and cut roof plate. Fit suitable deck flange ass. Mark, cut and weld flue pipe. Trial fit fire. Trial fit everything else. If it all fits refit it permanently. There are two angle brackets provided with the appliance, which can be used for fixing. It and the flue system must be securely fastened, so as to withstand the normal day-to- day situations which will be encountered in a narrow boat. -
Page 10: Chimney Systems
Do not fit the appliance on excessively raised base plinths. (Max plinth height is 80mm, see fig 2.) Always have two double walled, insulated above deck extensions, short for cruising and long (30inch minimum) for mooring. Fit a rotary swinging cowl to each extension or make one interchangeable. Clean or have the chimney cleaned regularly. -
Page 11: Fig 5 General Layout Of Mk3 Deck Flange Assembly
Before designing the fireplace, remember that the whole essence of the Corner Bubble is to make the finished job look like a piece of integrated design. Figs 1 and 2 show examples of suitable locations. Make sure that all combustibles are adequately protected from the effects of conducted and radiated heat. -
Page 12: Deck Flange
Wooden furniture, curtains, wooden panels or frames adjacent to the flue pipe or where it passes through the deck of the boat, carpet or flooring close to the appliance. The deck flange will be fitted as illustrated in figs 4 & 5. It will be bolted to the roof plate with a seal of silicone rubber applied between the joint. -
Page 13: Calorifyers
Before designing the fireplace, take great care about making provision for the boiler connections and remember that the whole essence of the Corner Bubble is to make the finished job look like a piece of integrated design. To facilitate removal of the stove, make sure that there is:- Easy access to the boiler unions. -
Page 14: Pumped Systems
Primary circuit pipe work must not have valves or other devices that can be used to interfere with the free flow of water. If the layout of the boat and calorifier restricts the use of gravity pipework to supply the calorifier, consider the use of a single pump controlled by a cylinder stat to allow hot water to access the indirect circuit of the calorifier. -
Page 15: Post Firing Checks (Dry Stoves.)
Check the following, to make sure that they fully comply with the instructions given in section 2 -: Fireplace location. Fixing of the appliance and flue system. Integrity of the flue system, after first pre heating the chimney system with a blow gun carry out a smoke test on the appliance and chimney system to make sure that there are no leaks from either the appliance or the chimney system. -
Page 16: Post Firing Checks (Gravity System.)
Carry out all the pre firing checks as per the list in dry stove commissioning before carrying out the heating system checks. After these checks have been carried out, check the following-: The feed and expansion tank is topped up to the specific level. The system is free from entrapped air. -
Page 17: Post Firing Checks (Pumped System.)
When you have turned the pump on make sure that you have enough power in your batteries or electrical system to keep the pump running all the time that the stove is under fire. Check that the chimney is free from obstruction and the long extension is fitted. Check that the inners of the stove are correctly fitted in place. -
Page 18: Fig 6 Gravity Heating Circuit
The pipe work is adequately sized. Adequate dia coil fitted in calorifier (for gravity systems always order special calorifiers with 28 mm dia coils). The stove is not fitted out of level, allowing an air pocket to build up in the top of the boiler, causing subsequent kettling. -
Page 19: Fig 7 Pumped Heating Circuit
PUMPED SYST EM 22MM COPPER PIPEWORK Downdraught. A wind effect creating a situation where air is being either blown or sucked down the flue pipe. Chimney vacuum. The negative pressure, which the chimney system is able to generate. Combustible materials. Any liquids, vapours or materials in close proximity to the appliance, which can easily ignite with the application of heat or flame. -
Page 20: Bibliograpy
Volatiles. Combustible entrapped component of hydrocarbon fuel. Kettling. Hissing noise like that issued from a kettle just before it reaches boiling point. Gravity system. Term used to describe a central heating system through which hot water will flow, without the use of a circulating pump. Pumped system.
