Chimney Cap - Nordica STEFANY Forno Notice D'utilisation

A too big flue section can feature a too big volume to be heated and consequently cause difficulties in the operation of
the appliance; to avoid this, tube the flue along its whole height. A too small section causes a decrease of the draught.
The flue must be properly spaced from any flammable materials or fuels through a proper insulation or an air
cavity.
It is forbidden to let plant piping or air feeding channels pass in the same flue. Moreover, it is forbidden to create
movable or fixed openings on the same for the connection of further other appliances.

CHIMNEY CAP

The draught of the flue depends also on the suitability of the chimney cap.
Therefore, if it is handicraft constructed, the output section must be more than twice as big as the internal section of
the flue.
Should it be necessary to exceed the ridge of the roof, the chimney cap must assure the discharge also in case of
windy weather (Picture 8).
The chimney cap must meet the following requirements:
• have internal section equivalent to that of the stack.
•
have a useful output section twice as big as the flue internal one.
• be manufactured in such a way as to prevent the penetration of rain, snow, and any other foreign body in the
flue.
• be easily checkable, for any possible maintenance and cleaning operation.

(2) Handicraft chimney cap.
The right output section must
be at least twice as big as the
internal section of the flue
(ideal value: 2.5 times).
(1) In case of flues side by side, a chimney cap must be higher
than the other one of at least 50 cm in order to avoid pressure
transfers between the flues themselves.
