Note of references to the current UK regulations
In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws and other
specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove. It should be noted that the Building
Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS
8303, BS EN 15287-1:2007 as an alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained
following the guidance given in Approved Document J.
Please note that it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations that the installation of the
stove is either carried out under Local Authority Building Control approval or is installed by a Competent Person
registered with a Government approved Competent Persons Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a
listing of their Registered Competent Persons can be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance. More detailed advice
about existing chimney usage.
A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the top of the
!Note
chimney should be satisfactory. Alternatively the calculation procedure given in EN 13384-1 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
Building Regulations Approved Document J.
If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other faults which might
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 mm x 230 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if required, seeking expert advice, if
necessary. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid fuel must be used in
accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immediately before 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 any new system must be to the designation described
above and in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable
for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for use as the complete chimney. The chimney and
connecting fluepipe must have a minimum diameter and its dimension should be not less than the size of the
outlet socket of the stove (Ø125).
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.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then a draught stabiliser should be fitted. Fitting of a
draught stabiliser will affect the requirement for the permanent air supply into the room in which the stove is
fitted in accordance with Approved Document J (see also combustion air supply).
Commissioning and handover
Ensure all parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out, before
lighting the stove. Once the stove is under fire check all seals for soundness and check that the flue is functioning
correctly and that all products of combustion are vented safely to atmosphere via the chimney terminal. On
completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove are left with
the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance and warn them to use only the
recommended fuel for the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be warned to
use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539) in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.
