2.3 Connecting the flue pipe
The fireplace insert can be connected using either flexible piping or regular flue piping. If you use flexible piping, you
must ensure that the piping is designed for flue gas use, and can withstand high temperatures. Flexible piping may
only be used in an existing fireplace installation. Therefore we recommend that you consult your chimney sweep
before using flexible piping. You can use both the top and rear outlets on the fireplace insert, depending on what
suits your installation best. The Aduro 5-1 is supplied ready for fitting the flue pipe on the top. If the flue pipe is to be
fitted on the back, the round circle should be removed from the rear plate of the fireplace insert. The cover plate
(that covers the rear outlet) should then be moved to the top outlet. A flue pipe with an internal diameter of 150 mm
should be used for the Aduro 5-1.
It will usually be easier to use flexible piping if there is not particularly good access to the chimney. If, on the other
hand, you have complete access, we recommend that you use a regular 2.0 mm steel flue pipe.
Flue piping in new installations
The easiest way of installing the flue pipe is through a chimney with an aperture of 160 mm straight above the
exhaust connector on the inset. In this case, a straight 2.0 mm flue pipe with an internal diameter of 150 mm of a
suitable length should be used. 3 x gasket bands should be placed around the flue pipe, which is then pushed up
into the chimney. The fireplace insert is placed in position and the flue pipe is pulled down over the exhaust
connector.
The fireplace insert can also be fitted with a steel chimney. The steel chimney should be placed directly above the
exhaust connector. We recommend the use of a steel chimney that is self-supporting and fitted with a telescopic
flue pipe. This solution allows you to lift the flue pipe and remove the insert without affecting the chimney.
Remember that the space above the fireplace insert should be sealed off with a horizontally positioned non-
flammable plate. This plate should be installed at least 85 cm below the ceiling. The space under this plate (above
the fireplace insert) should be ventilated as described on the previous page.
