1.4 Chimney and flue pipe connection
To connect the stove to the chimney, you should ask a specialist or the
chimney sweep. They are familiar with local regulations, so that the correct
connection of the stove chimney is guaranteed.
When the wood stove is installed with an upper outlet, the flue pipe (2 mm thick
steel plate) must have an inner diameter of 150/120 mm and a minimum
vertical distance of 50 cm. The horizontal length to the chimney connection
should not exceed 100 cm. The flue pipe must be installed with a minimum
inclination of 5 cm. It is not allowed to install a 90 degree bend from the stove
into the chimney. To ensure a good draught through an existing chimney
linning of the chimney with solid fuel liner is usually requiered.
Failure to comply with these connection requirements means that the
correct operation of the wood stove is no longer possible and the
guarantee is void.
Make sure that the connection to the chimney and all the connecting pieces to
the stove and chimney fit well with one another and are sealed and tightly
connected. The pipe has to be well sealed at the chimney entry and may not be
installed in the chimney cavity itself, otherwise the smoke draught would be
affected. We recommend the use of a double wall lining here. The chimney
should have an easily accessible soot door.
We recommend that the chimney or the pipe is equipped with a damper so that
the chimney draught can be regulated on days with strong winds. It is not
allowed that the damper close the pipe totally. There must always be a free
area of min. 20% of the total opening of the chimney or the pipe.
All combustible or temperature-sensitive materials on and in the wall must be
removed and replaced with non-combustible materials within a radius of 20 cm
of the connection opening,.
1.5 Note with respect to a chimney fire:
If incorrect or damp wood is used, this may lead to a chimney fire due to
deposits in the chimney. If this occurs, close all air vents connected to the wood
stove and check that all the cleaning access traps to the chimney are closed.
After the fire goes out in the chimney, get a specialist to check for cracks or
leaks.
1.6 The design
The Haakon/Brande 82 wood stoves are designed and tested in accordance
with DIN 18891-1/ EN 13240. It must only be operated when the fire box is
closed and it is already connected to a suitably-installed chimney.
1.7 Temperature-sensitive materials
For combustible flooring such as wood, carpet, etc. a base plate must be used.
