FLUE AND CHIMNEY
The flue or chimney system must be in good condition.
It must be inspected by a competent person and passed for use with the appliance before installation.
Products of combustion entering the room can cause serious health risks.
The following must be checked:
Prior to re-lighting after a prolonged shut down period check for blockage within the fire and the flue.
The construction of the masonry chimneys, flue block chimneys and connecting flue pipe system must meet the requirements of the
Building Regulations.
A flexible flue liner system can be used if certified for use with solid fuel systems and installation complies with manufacturer’s instructions
and Building Regulations.
The flue liner must be replaced when an appliance is replaced, unless proven to be recently installed and in good condition.
If it is necessary to fit a register plate it must conform to the Building Regulations.
The minimum height of the flue or chimney must be 4.5m from the hearth to the top of the flue, with no horizontal sections and a maximum
of 4 bends. Bends must have angles of less than 45 degrees from the vertical.
There should be at least 600mm of vertical flue pipe above the appliance before any bends are introduced.
Ensure the connecting flue pipe is kept a suitable distance from any combustible material and does not form part of the supporting
structure of the building.
The installer must ensure the flue pipe diameter is not less than the diameter of the outlet of the appliance and does not narrow to less
than the size of the outlet at any point in the system.
Make provision to remove the appliance without the need to dismantle the chimney.
Any existing flue must be confirmed as suitable for the new intended use as defined in the Building Regulations.
The flue or chimney systems must be inspected and swept to confirm the system is structurally sound and free from obstructions.
If the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire it must be swept a second time within a month of regular use after
installation to clear any soot falls that may have occurred due to difference in combustion levels.
The flue exit from the building must comply with local building control rules.
Chimney heights and/or separations may need to be increased in particular cases where wind exposure, surrounding tall buildings, high
trees or high ground could have adverse effects on flue draught.
Do not connect or share the flue or chimney system with another heating appliance.
Do not connect to systems containing large voids or spaces over 230mm square.
Suitable access must be provided to enable the collection and removal of debris.
The flue must be swept and inspected when the appliance is installed.
FLUE DRAUGHT
The flue draught must be checked with all windows and doors closed and any extraction fans in this, or adjoining rooms, running at maximum
speed.
AEROSOL SPRAYS
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the appliance when it is alight.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IN THE HOME
Do not place photographs, TV’s, paintings, porcelain or other combustible items on the wall or near the appliance. Exposure to hot
temperatures will cause damage. Do not place furniture or other items such as drying clothing closer than 1m from the front of this appliance.
WARNING: Extra fuel should not be stored on or next to the appliance. Only keep enough fuel for immediate use nearby and never
leave the appliance unattended for long periods with any combustible material in close proximity.
