Floor in front of and under the fireplace
Floors made from combustible materials, such as carpets, parquet floors or cork is to
be protected by a shield of non-combustible material – for example ceramics, stone,
glass or steel – placed under the fireplace so that it should reach out to
50 cm
in front and
30 cm
besides.
2.4 Connection of the fireplace
The connection for attaching to the chimney must be able to with-
stand at least 400°C.
PLEASE NOTE:
Before connecting the stove the local authority responsible
for approving heating systems must be consulted!
Connection pieces must be firmly connected to the stove and to
each other and must not leak. They must not project into the open
diameter of the chimney. The connection piece between the stove
and the chimney must have the same diameter as the pipe socket
on the stove. Horizontal connection pieces of over 0.5 m must
rise towards the chimney at an angle of 10 degrees. Any pipes
which are not heat insulated or vertical must not be longer than 1 metre.
The requirements of the Fire Regulations (FeuVO) apply, as well as local building
regulations such as for the chimney standards DIN 4705, DIN EN 13384, DIN 18160
and DIN EN 15287.
Connection pieces must be tested to DIN EN 1856-2.
Measurement X
(distance from
flammable construction and other materials) must be as defined by the manufacturer
of the connection piece.
PLEASE NOTE:
Fitting to a chimney with a functional height of less than
4 m, or if several toves are being fitted, less than 5 m, is not permitted. (See:
Data for chimney calculations / Chapter 3.) A maximum of two other fires can be
connected to the chimney to be conected to the stove (Germany).
For safety reasons it is not permitted to use a steam extractor hood to remove
air when the stove is producing heat.
2.5 Outside air intake
Oxygen or air is constantly required for the combustion process. As a rule, the air
available in the installation room is sufficient (see also Chapter 2.2).
With well-sealed windows and doors, the presence of mechanical ventilation (e.g.
kitchen or bathroom) or other fireplaces (including gas boilers) in the apartment, the
proper air supply can be severely disturbed. If this is the case, it is possible to supply
the combustion air directly from outside or from another, sufficiently ventilated room
(e.g. basement).
For this purpose, the wood-burning stoves offer a central air intake nozzle Ø 100 mm
on the back as standard, which must be installed.
Only smooth pipes with a minimum diameter of
100 mm can be used. The air line should also have a shut-off valve near the furnace.
The position "open" - "closed" must be clearly marked on the butterfly valve and must
be carried out correctly. Among other things, arches must have inspection openings
