Dry Stove Installaon Guide

Warnings

It is a legal requirement that the installation of all new

or replacement, wood or solid fuel heating appliances

obtain Building Control approval from your local

authority. This can be done by using a qualified

heating engineer, affiliated to a government approved

Competent Persons Scheme such as those listed on

www.gov.uk/building-regulations-competent-person-

schemes

You can also consult your local buildings inspector /

controller.

All local regulations, including those referring to

National and European standards, need to be

complied with when installing the appliance.

Refer to the current issue of BS 8303 code of practice

for the installation of domestic heating appliances

burning solid mineral fuel.

This stove should not be installed into a chimney that

serves any other heating appliance.

Any manufacturer’s instructions must not be taken as

overriding statutory requirements.

Arada Ltd will not be responsible for any

consequential or incidental loss or injury however

caused.

Health and safety

Before any installaon work is undertaken

consideraon must be given to the Health and Safety

at Work Act 1974. Safe working pracces should be

followed at all mes.

Please consult health and safety guidelines for advice

on handling heavy and/or large items.

During installaon ensure that adequate precauons

are taken to avoid unnecessary risk to yourself or any

householder.

The danger from the causc nature of re cement,

should be avoided by using these accepted methods:

Wear gloves when handling re cement. Wear goggles

when chiselling or looking up chimneys.

This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility

of disturbing any asbestos in the course of the

installaon then please seek specialist guidance and

use appropriate protecve equipment.

Any further warnings in this document will be

marked out in a box such as this one. Ignoring the

warnings could lead to damage/injury to persons

and/or property.

Dry Stove Installaon Guide

Hearths and Recesses

The stove should be installed on a surface with

adequate load bearing capacity. If the exisng

construcon does not meet this prerequisite, suitable

measures (e.g. load distribung plate) should be taken

to achieve it. Please pay parcular aenon when

examining exisng building work for suitability to

meet the following requirements.

When installing an inset stove, hearths should have a

suciently at surface to allow a good seal to the

stove body to be created during its installaon.

Stonework, uneven bricks etc., may need further work

to ensure that this can be achieved. Any voids behind

an inset stove should be lled with vermiculite or

similar.

The stove should be installed on a non-combusble

surface not less than 12mm thick (conforming to

Building Regulaons unless otherwise specied) of

suitable load bearing capacity and heat resistance.

Allowances should be made for the expansion and

contracon of any materials which are ed up to and

near the appliance.

If required, the dimensions of any construconal

hearth for all stoves should project at least 500mm

forward of the front of the appliance and 150mm at

the sides. The surface of the hearth should be free of

combusble materials. The superimposed hearth for

all installaons should project at least 225mm forward

from the front of the appliance and 150mm either side

of the edge of the appliance.

In most buildings with solid concrete or stone oors,

the requirement will be met by the oor itself, but

mark the hearth to ensure oor coverings are kept

well away or use dierent levels to mark the hearth

perimeter.

Please be aware that hot air can cause staining above

the re in a similar fashion to walls above radiators.

To help prevent this and cracking we recommend that

any plaster above the re should be ed with

reinforcing expanding mesh for at least 220mm above,

and the full width of the re. You should also use a

suitably heat resistant plaster which should be

allowed sucient me to fully dry before using the

stove or cracking is likely to occur

Installaon requirements

Page 6 BK545 Rev 14

Dry Stove Installaon Guide

Combusble Materials

Please view the product sheet which accompanied

your stove for specic minimum distances to

combusble measurements.

Ideally, adjacent walls should be of suitable non-

combusble construcon, preferably brickwork.

In large replaces take care that any supporng beam

is protected by a 13mm sheet of heat resistant re

board spaced 12mm o the surface with strips of non-

combusble material. Make sure that there is a gap

between an un-insulated ue system and any

combusble material. This gap must be at least 3X the

outside diameter of the ue pipe, or 1.5X the ue

diameter to non-combusble surfaces. Please consult

the ue manufacturers specicaon for insulated

ues.

Air for combuson

All stoves require venlaon to burn safely and

correctly. There are a number of requirements that

need to be met when installing a stove, for example,

allowing for the permeability of the house (air

permeability is the general seepage of air into the

house via air vents, doors and windows etc.)

There must always be a permanent means of

providing air for combuson into the room in which

the stove is installed. Air starvaon will result in poor

ue draw and may cause smoke to leak into the room.

For all installaons it is recommended that a

permanent vent with a total free area of at least

550mm2 for every kW above 5kW should be

connected directly to the outside air. Installaons in

properes built aer 2008 should have their vent

increased by a further 330mm2 for each of the rst

5kW. Alternavely this air can be supplied through an

external wall of an adjacent room, which itself has to

be connected to the room the appliance is installed by

a permanent vent of the same size.

Note: If the appliance is ed with a draught stabiliser

(or if one is ed to the ue pipe or chimney in the

same room as the appliance) then the permanent air

entry opening (or openings) should be increased by

300mm2 for each kW of rated output up to 5kW and

an addional 850mm2 for each kW output over 5kW.

If there is more than one appliance in the property

then each appliance must be supplied with adequate

Installaon requirements / Flues and Chimneys

BK545 Rev 14 Page 7

Dry Stove Installaon Guide

combuson air so that all appliances can be lit

simultaneously.

The posioning of any air vent must be so that it

cannot be liable to blockage or obstrucon. Ideally it

should also be posioned where it is unlikely to cause

a cold draught. It should not be posioned in the

replace recess.

For more detailed guidelines on required venlaon

sizes please refer to the Document J Building

Regulaons (Combuson Appliances) at the

www.planningportal.gov.uk website.

If you plan to use an external air supply on a suitable

stove, and have bought the appropriate Arada

External Air Supply Kit, please refer to the instrucons

included with the kit on how to install it.

The accompanying stove technical product sheet

states whether or not your appliance is compable

with a Direct Air Supply Kit.

Flues and Chimneys

The stove must be connected to a suitable and

ecient ue so that products of combuson (fumes)

from the stove are expelled to the outside air. Please

remember that chimney draught is dependent on four

main factors :

 Flue gas temperature

 Flue height

 Flue size

 Flue terminal

To ensure a good up draught it is important that the

ue gases are kept warm and that the ue size suits

the stove. The terminaon of the outlet at the top of

the ue also needs to comply with Building

Regulaons. The minimum eecve height of the ue

must be at least 4.5 metres from the top of the stove

to the top of the ue outlet. When warm the ue

draught should be between 0.1 to 0.2mb.

The draw of a chimney / ue can vary in dierent

weather condions and the customer should be made

aware of this. Failure to correct an over-drawing ue

will invalidate the warranty.

A chimney may comply with regulaons but could sll

be subject to down draught and similar problems. A

chimney terminang above the ridge level is generally

less likely to suer such problems.

If a new chimney is being provided it should fully

comply with the relevant Building Regulaons that

specify the requirements for solid fuel burning

installaons. Suitable types of chimney include the

Flues and Chimneys / Installing the stove

Page 8 BK545 Rev 14

Dry Stove Installaon Guide

following :

 Masonry Chimney: Built with clay or concrete

liners, or a chimney block system meeng

Building Regulaons. These types of chimneys

should be installed in accordance with the

Building Regulaons and BS EN 15287-1:2007.

 Factory Made Insulated Chimney: Complying

with BS 4543:Part 2 (oen called Class 1

prefabricated metal chimney). These types of

chimneys should be installed in accordance with

Building Regulaons and BS EN 15287-1:2007.

Due to the gradual introducon of European Chimney

Standards chimneys will be specied according to

their performance designaon as dened in BS EN

1443 that covers the General Requirements for

chimneys. The minimum performance designaon

required for use with solid fuel burning stoves is T450

N2 S D3.

The ue and chimney installaon must be carefully

checked by a competent person before ng the

stove to ensure it is suitable and will work safely.

If the chimney is old (i.e.: built of brick or stone

without a liner) or being opened up for reuse

addional checks and smoke tesng as described in

Appendix E of the Approved Document J 2010 Edion

should also be carried out to ensure the ue and

chimney are in good operang condion.

Check the exisng ue is in good condion with

suitable access for collecon and removal of debris.

It is also important that suitable ue pipe

(recommended at least 600mm in length) complying

with the Building Regulaons is used to connect the

stove to the ue in the chimney. Suitable access

should be provided into the ue for regular inspecon

and sweeping of the ue ways.

The installer should comply with Building Regulaons

requirements in respect of providing a Noce Plate

giving details on the chimney, ue lining, hearth and

replace installaon.

Chimneys should be as straight as possible. Horizontal

runs should be avoided except where the rear outlet

of the appliance is used, in which case the horizontal

secon should not exceed 150mm in length. If

necessary a combinaon of 45° and 90° bends can be

used as long as the sum of their angles is not greater

than 180° in total. i.e. four 45° bends, or two 45° and

a 90° bend.

If the stove appears to be working hard but produces

very lile output to the room it is likely that excess

draw is present in the chimney, and that heat is being

sucked out of the appliance and up the chimney. If

this is the case we recommend the ng of a draught

stabiliser in preference to a ue damper, in the

interest of safety and eciency.

Installing the stove

BK545 Rev 14 Page 9

Dry Stove Installaon Guide

Installing the stove

To make the stove easier to manoeuvre (and safer) we

recommend you remove the following parts which can

then be reed when the stove is in its nal posion:

 Grate Bars

 Liners

 Door (To help prevent the glass from breaking)

 Operang Tool

 Ash pan

 Throat Plate

Removing the door

Open the door so that it is perpendicular to the stove

body and then carefully li the stove door upwards o 

its hinges. To replace the door reverse the instrucons

above.

Removing the throat plate

and liners

The throat plate rests on liners and (in some models) a

terary air bar. With the re door removed or open,

push up on the throat plate with the palm of one

hand. With the other, remove the side liners and then

lower the throat plate forward. It is easier to lower

one side of the throat plate rst to help remove it

from its posion and to allow it to t through the

opening of the stove. Once the throat plate has been

removed you can also remove the rear liner(s). To

replace the liners/throat plate follow the steps above

in reverse.

Assembling the grate bars

In a mul fuel stove the grate comprises of a series of

cast iron grate bars, seated on a pair of combs. All bars

in the grate are idencal.

In stoves with a riddling grate system the bars should

be seated with every other bar rotated 180 degrees,

so the ends marked ’H’ and ’L’ alternate on each

comb. When assembling the grate, t bars to the low

secons of the comb rst by seang the ends marked

’L’ onto the low part of the comb, whilst the ends

marked ’H’ should then be seated on the high

secons.

In stoves with non-riddling grate systems the grate is

assembled with the ends of the bars marked ’H’ sing

on the front comb, and the ends marked ’L’ sing on

the rear comb.

Dry Stove Installaon Guide

Fing the spigot outlet to the

stove

The ue outlet spigot and hot plate (blanking plate)

can be found packed inside the appliance and must be

ed during installaon*.

(*Only applicable to freestanding appliances).

Smear a very thin layer of re cement or use the

supplied self adhesive rope seal on the mang faces of

the ue outlet and the hot plate. Fit the outlet to the

appliance in the desired posion.

Inset models have a single ue outlet and no blanking

plate.

Connecng the spigot outlet to

the ue system

The flue pipe must be fitted inside the outlet spigot as

shown in Figure 2. Failure to do so could result in the

spillage of condensation running down the flue.

Fire cement should be used to create an airtight seal

between the flue and spigot.

Sealing of terminals

If an add in boiler is not to be fitted, please ensure

that any partially cut circular terminals (located on the

rear of the appliance) are sealed with fire cement,

thus preventing surplus air entering the firebox,

resulting in lower efficiency and poor fuel

consumption.

Inset stove Specic Instrucons

All inset stoves, are designed to be ed in a ‘builders

opening’ and not a chair brick. A suitable ‘builders

opening’ will be required to facilitate installaon,

observing the relevant building standards in

regulaon, especially paying aenon to the locaon

and posioning of the lintel.

Inset stove ue connecon

We strongly advise the connection of the inset stove

onto a flexible flue liner (System Flue).

The reasoning for this, is to ensure the stove operates

correctly and at maximum efficiency, maintaining a

sound air tight seal for the flue connection and thus

preventing products of combustion being emitted to

the dwelling.

Please note the importance, for any voids surrounding

an inset stove, must be filled with fire cement,

vermiculite granules or mineral wool when installed

for the interest of safety and heat efficiency .
