CHIMNEY

Do not connect to a chimney serving another
appliance.
The Ardmore is a radiant room heater and must be
connected to a chimney of the proper size and type.
The chimney must have a diameter of at least
150mm. Never connect to a smaller size chimney.
Do not connect to a chimney serving another appli-
ance. The stove is supplied with a 5" flue spigot, the
flue installation will require a 5" to 6" increaser which
must be fitted within 1.5 meters of flue outlet.
A flue that has proved to be unsatisfactory, particu-
larly with regard to down draught should not be used
for venting this appliance until it has been examined
and any faults corrected. An existing masonry chim-
ney should be inspected and if necessary repaired
by a competent mason or relined using an approved
lining system. Poor draught conditions will result in
poor performance.
In adverse weather conditions, down drafts may be
experienced causing smoke or fumes to spill into the
room. If this occurs shut the appliance down by
closing the air controls. If the problem persists seek
the advice of a chimney sweep.
In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily the
chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an ade-
quate draught of approximately 12 Pa so as to clear
the products of combustion and prevent smoke
problems into the room.
NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres
measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to
the top of the chimney should be satisfactory.
Alternatively the calculation procedure given in EN
13384-1 may be used as the basis for deciding
whether a particular chimney design will provide suf-
ficient draught.
The outlet from the chimney should be above the
Fig.3
roof of the building in accordance with the provisions
of Building Regulations Approved Document J.
If installation is into an existing chimney then it must
be sound and have no cracks or other faults which
might allow fumes into the house. Older properties,
especially, may have chimney faults or the cross
section may be too large, flue diameter should be no
more than 200mm.
taken, if required, seeking expert advice, if neces-
sary. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then
a flue liner suitable for solid fuel must be used in
accordance with Building Regulations Approved
Document J.
When connecting to an existing chimney, Waterford
Stanley approved stove connection kits are available
to order from the network of retailers.
Note: Flexible flue liners should not be connect-
ed directly to the stove and are for use within the
chimney, it is recommended to use a minimum
of 600mm rigid flue pipe in cat iron, stainless
steel or enamelled steel as recommended.
Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction
and have been swept clean immediately before
installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place
of an open fire then the chimney should be swept
one month after installation to clear any soot falls
which may have occurred due to the difference in
combustion between the stove and the open fire.
If there is no existing chimney then any new system
must be to the designation described above and in
accordance with Building Regulations Approved
Document J.
A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting
the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for use
as the complete chimney. The chimney must have a
minimum diameter of 150mm and the connecting
flue must have a minimum diameter of 125mm and
at no point must the diameter reduce to less than the
size of the outlet socket of the stove.
Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe
should not exceed 45
used.
Combustible material should not be located where
the heat dissipating through the walls of fireplaces or
flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the
stove in the presence of combustible materials due
account must be taken of the guidance on the sepa-
ration of combustible material given in Building
Regulations Approved Document J and also in these
stove instructions.
