Flue Connection
Firstly you will need to attach the flue spigot to the rear of the stove using the 4
screws supplied.
The stove must be installed in accordance with current gas and buildings
regulations BS5871: Part1.
Before you install the stove, make sure the chimney flue outlet is correctly
positioned to align with the flue outlet on the stove and that the chimney is in
good condition. If not, a chimney liner must be installed or a suitable class II gas
flue used. A draught is necessary to ensure the products of combustion are fully
evacuated. Due to the internal dilution/diversion system in the stove, it is not
obligatory to line the chimney but local conditions will apply. The flue will have to
be inspected by a CORGI registered installer and passed as suitable/sound.
The Gas Stove is suitable for both Class I & II and pre-cast flues (The Building
Regulations 2000).
Ideally it is recommended that a minimum height of 610mm from the stove
should be established before any significant changes of the direction of the flue.
Horizontal or negative gradients should be avoided. The flue must have a
minimum height of 3 metres to insure adequate draught.
Prior to installation, the installer should insure that the flue is free from
obstruction and any dampers must be fixed in a permanently open position.
Ensure the chimney is not closed and that it has been swept and subsequently
smoke tested.
Make sure that rain, birds or any foreign body cannot get into the chimney to
cause damage or blockage. This problem can normally be overcome by fitting an
approved gas cowl. It is essential for the effective running of your stove that the
chimney draws properly to allow the products of combustion to escape.
Ventilation (GB only)
The gas stove is rated at less than 7kw and therefore does not normally require
additional ventilation in the room (BS5871 – part II).
Gas Connection
A minimum 15mm-diameter gas supply pipe must be used to within 1 metre of
the installation with the final connection to the stove to be completed with the
suitable 8mm semi-rigid gas pipe. The 8mm pipe should be connected to the inlet
of the gas valve using the nut and 8mm olive provided. Support the control whilst
finally tightening the supply pipe.
