4.28. When fitting stoves in brickwork chimneys a perfect seal between the flexible and the rigid pipe must be
achieved. Similarly, the insulation to be placed at the contact areas between the pipe and possibly
inflammable zones must be taken into account. The tube end may be left inside the chimney itself, taking
into account its opening.
Special attention must be paid to the cleaning of the chimney, especially if the latter has been used in a
fireplace or wood stove. If this is the case, we highly recommend thoroughly cleaning the whole conduct in
order to prevent a small fire from starting.
Once installation is complete, we must seal the chimney from the inside of the house.

4.29. Installing a fitted stove in a brickwork chimney can be done using flexible piping in its entirety, as indicated in
drawing 12. We must take special care when sealing the chimney and gas venting to avoid gas blowing back
during storms.

When installing a flexible tube for gas outlet, be careful that this is not in contact or close to the circuit board
or combustible material.
