The cross-sectional area of the chimney (at its narrowest point) must comply with National and
Local Building Regulations. Generally, the area needed for a Morsø wood-burning stove instal-
lation should measure at least 175 cm2 (150 mm diameter).
An over-sized chimney is generally hard to keep warm and results in poor draft. In cases where
there is an oversized masonry chimney, it is recommended that the chimney be lined using an
appropriate chimney lining system with the correct internal diameter.
With respect to the chimney termination, all chimneys should terminate in accordance with
National and Local Building Regulations.
Note that National and Local Regulations also apply with regard to the placement of chimneys
and flues in connection with thatched roofs. See the section on Draft Conditions, 1.9.
The chimney or flue system must be equipped with access doors for inspection and cleaning.
The size of the cleaning door in the chimney must at least equal to that of the cross-sectional
area of the chimney.
In the event that a chimney fire occurs resulting from faulty operation or prolonged use
of damp wood fuel, close the air vents completely and contact your local fire department
immediately.
1.6 Fluepipe connections
The stove is supplied with a factory fitted flue collar (1), this is fitted to the top plate. A square
cast iron blanking plate covers the rear flue outlet (behind the rear heat shield).
When required, the flue collar can be removed and relocated to the rear flue outlet. To do this,
simply unscrew the flue collar, and the square cast iron blanking plate from the rear plate and refit
it on the top plate. The flue collar can now be screwed into position using the existing screws.
Be sure that the following parts are
correctly positioned:
- Baffle plates (1.2 & 3)
- Front grate (4)
- Riddling grates (5)
- Ash Can (6)
- Primary Air Controle (7)
- Secondary Air Controle (8)
