Clearances
The minimum distance to combustible materials should be 500mm at
the back of the stove and 150mm to the sides of the stove. Adjacent
walls should be of suitable non-combustible construction, preferably
brickwork. Make sure that there is a gap between an un-insulated
flue pipe and any combustible material. This gap must be at least 3 x
the outside diameter of the flue pipe (375mm for 5" single wall flue
pipe), or 1.5 x the flue diameter (375mm for 5" single wall flue pipe)
to non combustible surface. A minimum clearance of 80mm around
the sides and back of the stove is recommended to allow for air
movement and heat from the stove to enter the room.
Chimney requirements
An existing chimney or a new flue or chimney installation should be
given a visual inspection to check that it is in good order, clear of ob-
structions and is of a suitable size and type for the stove. It may be
necessary to sweep the flue (which should always be done anyway
before fitting a stove or lining a chimney) and also, if necessary, to
do a smoke test to check for gas tightness and chimney draft. The
chimney or flue must not serve any other appliance.
For nominal heat output:
The minimum flue draught required is 12PA.
The flue gas mass flow will be 6.6g/s.
The flue gas temperature directly down of the socket will be approxi-
mately 262 deg C.
Air damper
Flue draught stabilisers can be used if necessary with this appliance.
