4.2 Ventilation

Purpose provided ventilation is not required in England and Wales unless the appliance

rated output is greater than 5kW. Over 5kW 5.5 cm

for every kW output above 5. For example 6.5 kW requires 8.25 cm

16.5cm

. In any case, if difficulty in starting the fire or any fuming is experienced,

ventilation must be put in place as required to eliminate these flue problems. If a flue

draught stabiliser is fitted then extra ventilation is required. See Document J of the

Building Regulations for detailed guidance especially in new build properties.

4.3 Flue Draught

A flue draught of minimum 1.2mm to a maximum 2.5mm water gauge (12 to 25 Pascals)

is required for satisfactory appliance performance. The flue draught should be checked

under fire at high output and, if it exceeds the recommended maximum, a draught

stabiliser must be fitted so that the rate of burning can be controlled to prevent over-

firing.

4.4 Connection to the Chimney

This appliance is not suitable for use in a shared flue. This appliance requires a direct

flue connection to the spigot. If practical, an existing fireplace opening can be bricked up

or sealed with a register plate and a short length of flue pipe of a minimum 150mm

internal diameter may then be used to connect the stove to the register plate in the

chimney. This flue pipe should conform to Building Regulations. The stove must be

insulated and properly fitted into the fireplace opening by back filling with 6:1 ratio

vermiculite & cement mixture using minimal water through the top of the fireplace or flue

spigot opening. The surface should be finished using 1:1:8 mix of cement, lime and

sand. The connecting pipe is fitted with the spigot pushed up from inside the stove and

rotated onto its keyhole slots to join to the pipe. Ensure that the pipe end is no closer

than 76mm to the side or rear chimney walls.

If necessary a hole must be opened up into the flue way above the fireplace in order to

fit the appliance to the flue correctly. Please consult HETAS recommended fitting

methods if in doubt. It is essential that all connections between the stove and chimney-

flue are sealed and made airtight with sealing rope, clamping rings and/or fire cement or

heat resisting cement where required.

Both the chimney and flue pipe must be accessible for cleaning and if ANY parts of the

chimney cannot be reached through the stove (with baffle removed), a soot door must

be fitted in a suitable position to enable this to be done.

4.5 Fixing

Fix the stove to the back hearth using suitable non-combustible fixings through the base

of the outer firebox. If necessary screw the outer firebox to the back-panel by fixing the

top or sides of the firebox using suitable non-combustible fixings.

In addition it is strongly recommended that any furniture or other combustible materials

are kept at least 900mm clear from the front of the stove.
