Chimney

 

The chimney is the driving force which makes the stove function. In order for the stove to 
perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure the correct draught 
of 14 to 18 Pa, so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent problems of smoke 
leaking into the room when the stove is lit. 
Note: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres, measured vertically from the outlet of 
the stove to the top of the chimney, should be satisfactory. 
Alternatively the calculation procedure given in BS 5854:1980 may be used as the basis 
for deciding whether a particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught. 

The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with 
the provisions of the Building Regulations Approved Document J. 

If the installation is into an existing chimney, then it must be sound and have no cracks or 
other faults which may allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have 
chimney faults or the cross section may be too large i.e. more than 230 x 230mm. 
Remedial action should be taken if required, expert advice should be sought where 
required. 
If the chimney requires lining, then a suitable solid fuel flue liner must be used, in 
accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J. 

Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and should have been swept clean 
immediately before the installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place of an open 
fire, then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls 
which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and the 
open fire. 

If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney, in accordance 
with Building Regulations Approved Document J or a twin wall insulated stainless steel 
flue to BS 4543 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the 
manufacturer’s instructions and the Building Regulations. 

A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is 
not suitable for using for the complete chimney. The chimney and 
connecting fluepipe must have a minimum diameter of 150mm and it’s 
dimension should be not less than the size of the outlet socket of the stove which is 
150mm. Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe should not exceed 45°. 90° 
bends should not be used. 

Combustible material should not be located where the heat dissipating through the 
walls of fireplaces or flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the 
presence of combustible materials due account must be taken of the guidance on the 
separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document 
J and also in these stove instructions.
