FLUE & CHIMNEY CONNECTION TO STOVE (cont)
Insulated chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and Building Regulations. A single wall
metal flue pipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney.
The connecting flue pipe must have a minimum diameter of 125 mm and its dimension should be not less than the size of
the outlet socket of the stove. Registered smoke exempt models burning wood only can be installed on a flue of 125mm
throughout. Any bend in the chimney or connecting flue pipe should not exceed 45
other than within 150 mm of stove rear flue outlet.
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 BS5854:1980 may be used as the basis for deciding
whether a particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then either an adjustable flue damper or alternately a draught
stabiliser should be fitted. The adjustable flue damper should not close off the flue entirely but should in its closed position
leave a minimum continuous opening free area of at least 20 % of the total cross sectional area of the flue or flue pipe.
Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for sweeping the chimney and connecting flue
pipe.
Your appliance needs to be maintained routinely, the throat plate/baffle should be cleaned regularly (monthly) . The flue
pipe can be cleaned using a flexible brush. Only use a dry cloth on external surfaces. Over time the glass may become dirty,
clean with a damp cloth and polish off with damp cloth. If the stove has not been used for some time the flue should be
checked for blockages before use. Do not modify the appliance; only use spares authorised by the manufacturer.
