The Chimney; Pipe Connections - Cast Tec ALBERG 7 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

2.4 The chimney
This product must never connect to any shared chimney.
An efficient modern stove places heavy demands on the chimney, and you should have
the chimney regularly swept and inspected by your approved chimney sweep.
The cross‐sectional area of the chimney (at its narrowest point) must comply with
National and Local Building Regulations. Generally, the area needed for a wood‐burning
2
stove installation should measure at least 113 cm (125 mm diameter).
An over‐sized chimney is generally hard to keep warm and results in poor draft. In cases
where there is an oversized masonry chimney, it is recommended that the chimney be
lined using an appropriate chimney lining system with the correct internal diameter.
With respect to the chimney termination, all chimneys should terminate in accordance
with national and Local Building Regulations.
Note that National and Local Regulations also apply with regard to the placement of
chimneys and flues in connection with thatched roofs.
The chimney or flue system must be equipped with access doors for inspection and
cleaning. The size of the cleaning door in the chimney must at least equal to that of the
cross‐sectional area of the chimney. In the event that a chimney fire occurs resulting
from faulty operation or prolonged use of damp wood fuel, close the air vents
completely and contact your local fire department immediately.
2.5 Pipe connections
The stove must be installed with a 125 mm diameter flue pipe. This must be an approved
thickness. The flue outlet for this product is inside the burn chamber during
transportation. You can choose between a top or rear outlet for the flue pipe.
Flue pipes are placed directly onto the product flue outlet. There are three lips on the
flue collar These are used to fasten the flue collar into the body of the stove by twisting
clockwise see Figure 3. The unused outlet must be sealed with the plate and screwed
firmly into place..
Note! It is important that the joints are completely sealed. Air leakage etc. may lead to
malfunction.
