Exterior Air Inlet - Carbel A-70 Plus Manual De Montaje, Uso Y Mantenimiento

- The diameter of the flue of the appliance is ideal for keeping a good draught; do not reduce said diameter if at
all possible.
- Do not connect several appliances to the same chimney.
- The chimney should run through the interior of the building. Install insulated double-walled pipes when the
chimney flue runs outside the building.
- For the fireplace flue to work correctly, the room must have an outside air inlet that is at least sufficient to
replenish the volume of air that comes out of the chimney flue. In well-insulated houses with airtight joinery, an
air inlet must be made from the exterior. When air inlet vents are installed, they must be located in such a way
that they cannot be blocked.
- When the flue has to have angles or bends, avoid horizontal or downward sections. You must plan for the
cleaning of the flue and, if necessary, install pipes with access holes or cleaning hatches in sections that are
not easily accessed.
- When a metal chimney is fitted inside a brick chimney, it must exceed the height of the latter and protrude a
few centimetres at the top.
- The installation of the pipe and cap must strictly prevent water from getting into the appliance on rainy
days.
Water causes more damage to wood burners than the high combustion temperatures for which they are
prepared.
When the pipes run through the inside of the home or a brick chimney, they should be mounted as shown in
Figure 1 to prevent liquids produced by the condensation of the gases flowing through the joints and out of the
pipes. If a pipe section runs outside the building it must be mounted in the direction shown in Figure 2 to
prevent rainwater draining down the pipe and entering into the pipe interior through the joints.
