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:
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.
