4. INSTALLATION

Your flue and chimney
For your stove to work properly the chimney must also work properly. Check out the following points whilst bearing in
mind that this is for informational purposes only and is not binding for us in any manner whatsoever. It is an unfortunate
fact that there are numerous factors that can play decisive roles in the correct functioning of a chimney.
Thoroughly clean your chimney prior to installation. If it has not been used for a long time, ask a specialist to inspect it.
The chimney should be of sufficient height to guarantee a minimum draw of 8-20 Pascal. It is only possible to measure
the chimney draught while the appliance is working. If the draw is insufficient raise the chimney and/or insulate it. If the
flue draught is too great you will need to install a draught regulator.
The flue should, ideally, be vertical and not change direction at any more than 45º from vertical.
The flue should not join into another. It should be separate throughout its entire length and have its own, separate,
chimney pot.
The flue should be free of obstructions, of the same size throughout and preferably round. The size should be that
specified for the stove to function correctly (see catalogue).
If the top of the chimney is within 60cm of the ridge of the roof, or closer, it should project at least 60cm above the
ridge. Elsewhere on the roof, not close to the ridge, the chimney should be at least 1 metre above the roof, measured
from the upper side.
The chimney should not be close to tall trees, walls or buildings as these could cause downdraughts.
The chimney must be well insulated. The internal face of the flue must be free from cracks and fissures and lined with
fire cement or other, suitable, refractory material. If not, then a suitable liner must be installed throughout its entire
length.
Lining Your Chimney
European standards must be followed. Due to the technical nature of these standards they are mostly intended for
professional installers. The following lists the relevant European standards.
