CO ALARMS
Building regulations require that whenever a new or
replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appliance is
installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted
in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the
installation of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN
50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer's instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for
either installing the appliance correctly or ensuring regular
servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney
system.
CHIMNEY
In order for the appliance to perform satisfactorily the
chimney height must not be less than 4 metres measured
vertically from the outlet of the appliance to the top of the
chimney. T
If an existing chimney is to be used it must be swept and
checked, it must be in good condition, free from cracks and
blockages, and should not have an excessive cross sectional
area (eg. greater than 250mm x 250mm). If you find that the
chimney is in poor condition then expert advice should be
sought regarding the necessity of having the chimney lined. If it
is found necessary to line the chimney then a lining suitable for
Solid Fuel must be used.
If there is no existing chimney then a prefabricated block
chimney or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to
BS:15287-1:2007 can be used either internally or externally.
These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions and Building Regulations.
Single wall flue pipe is suitable for connecting the fire to the
chimney but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney.
If it is found that there is excessive draw in the chimney then a
draught stabilizer should be fitted.
HEARTH
The appliance must be installed on a fireproof hearth The
he chimney must not be less than 150mm (6 inches)
internal diameter or 150 x 150mm internal square.
positioning of the appliance and the size of the hearth are
governed by building regulations for Class 1 appliances. These
building regulations state that the hearth must extend in front
of the appliance by at least 225 mm (9 inches) and to the
sides of the appliance by at least 150 mm (6 inches). If in
doubt as to the positioning of the appliance expert advice
should be sought either from the supplier or the local building
inspector.
PREPARATION OF FIREPLACE
Before fitting the appliance into an existing fireplace remove
the fireback and any loose in-fill material.
The hearth, surround and opening for the appliance must
conform with Figs. 6 and 9. The flat area around the opening
must be a minimum of 750 mm wide and 660 mm high.
Ensure that the hearth and the base in the opening are flat,
level, and at right angles to the surround.
Make two holes in the chimney breast, one in the front to give
access for infilling and fixing the flue pipe, and one in the side
to give access for the pipework.
CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM
The central heating system must comply with BS:5449 part 1.
