5. Builders Opening
Many fireplace openings have a supporting lintel. Remove
the covering plaster to identify its position before starting
any constructive work. Do not remove constructional lintels
without making provision to support the remaining structure
of the building. The appliance must not form any part of the
supporting structure.
5.1 The chimney/flue must have a sealed connection to the
appliance flue spigot.
5.2 The structure of the builders opening will reach high
temperatures. Use insulating blockwork to reduce the heat
transfer to the external walls, in particular the area of the
chimney breast above the opening.
5.3 Take care when finishing the chimney breast and
surrounding area. The conducted and convected heat
emitted by the appliance could be high enough to crack
normal plaster. Use a high temperature plaster, or face
the area with a suitable high temperature plasterboard.
New plaster should be fully dried before the appliance is
used, or cracking could occur.
If you are in any doubt about your ability to produce
a safe opening contact your Stovax dealer for
professional advice*.
4. Fitting Appliances On A Boat
4.1 If an appliance is to be fitted in a boat it must be done in
accordance with the latest edition of BS 8511 (Code of
Practice for the Installation of Solid Fuel Heating Appliances
on Boats). The Code covers the design, installation
and operation of solid fuel heating appliances that are
suitable for fitting into inland waterway boats, and gives
guidance on product selection, design considerations,
installation requirements, inspection and testing, as well as
maintenance and safe use tips.
4.2 Consideration should also be given to the requirements
of the Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) to ensure the boat's
insurance remains valid.
4.3 The appliance should only be installed by a competent
person with experience of the latest edition of BS 8511 and
the Boat Safety Scheme (BSS).
4.4 Secure the product to a suitably constructed non-
combustible hearth.
4.5 All open flued appliances can be affected by temporary
atmospheric conditions which may allow fumes to enter the
boat. An electronic carbon monoxide detector conforming
to the latest edition of BSEN50292 must be fitted and
maintained.
4.6 Failure to safely install the appliance could endanger the
boat and persons on board.
