4 CONNECTION TO THE SMOKE STACK

4.1 General notes

Before starting to assemble the stove, choose the position where it will be installed and then, having determined
the height of the connection tubes bearing in mind the height above ground given in the tables, make the hole
through to the smoke stack, and place the rosette on the wall.
A maximum of two bends may be used to connect the stove to the chimney, with a change in direction of less than
90°, and the length of the smoke flue which runs horizontally must not exceed 2 metres.
The connecting tubes should be as short as possible, without any constrictions or internal rough patches,
constructed of material which is resistant to being corroded by the smoke and fumes and able to withstand
temperatures of 550-600°C.
The connection to the smoke stack must be carried out in conformity with the GENERAL RULES on page 27 and
with the regulations in force in the area where the stove is to be installed, to allow correct dispersal of the smoke
and fumes and the consequent good operation of the stove.
You are advised to use pipes and bends supplied by GRUPPO PIAZZETTA S.p.A. to make the connection to the
smoke stack because the smoke flue and the pipe couplings are the same size and the bends are equipped with
inspection openings, which allow the checking, cleaning and maintenance of all parts of the equipment.
Other pipes can be used, as long as they are adapted or suitable for the pipe joint. In such an event, however,
GRUPPO PIAZZETTA S.p.A. will only guarantee efficient operation for its own products, used in accordance with
the specifications.
If it is necessary to use pipe bends to create an off-centre connection, it is advisable to take care as it is possible
that the connection constructed may not be able to carry the weight placed on it and it may require additional
means of support.
A minimum distance of 40 cm. from construction parts sensitive to high temperatures (cladding) must be respected.
There must be no inflammable or heat sensitive materials without a radius of 200 mm. from the wall.
If this is not the case, substitute materials according to the regulations of DIN 18160, second part, paragraph 5.1.4
Check that the various parts of the tube are well engaged with the stove and the smoke stack. Check that the pipe
does not protrude too far inside the smoke stack.
