Safety Distances; Connection Of Multiple Devices In Direct Vent Operation - HASE Asmara Manuel D'utilisation

3. Safety Distances

The indicated safety distances apply to flammable
materials or materials with flammable parts with a
thermal resistance of R ≤ 6 m²k/W.
For particularly temperature-sensitive materials like
glass, larger distances may be necessary.
Within a radius of 60 cm in front of and 55 cm
around the stove, flammable, combustible, or heat-
sensitive materials (e.g. furniture, wood or plastic
panelling, curtains, etc.) are not allowed to be lo-
cated in the heat radiating area of the fire box win-
dow (fig. 1).
Outside the radiation area of the fire box window,
a safety distance of 8 cm to flammable materials
is to comply sideways and behind the stove
(fig. 1). Above the stove, the safety distance of
75 cm to flammable materials has to be complied
with.
No flammable or temperature-sensitive materials
may be present within a radius of 20 cm around
the flue pipe connection (wall or room ceiling).
WARNING!
Flammable flooring materials (e.g., wood,
laminate, carpeting,) must be protected
with a floorplate made of non-combustible
material (e.g., tiles, safety glass, slate, or
sheet steel).
The size of the floorplate must be larger
than the base of the stove by at least 50
cm in front and at least 28 cm at the sides
of the stove (fig. 2).

4. Connection of Multiple Devices in
Direct Vent Operation
When the Asmara is operated as a direct vent mod-
el, more than one device can be connected to the
chimney under the following conditions:
48
CAUTION!
Multiple appliances per chimney are per-
55
mitted in line with the applicable national
and regional regulations.
60
All connected fireplace stoves must be in
the same building unit or in the same ef-
fective area of the ventilation system.
The inlets for the combustion air ducts
are located in areas of equal pressure
(same pressure ratios), wind-induced
pressure fluctuations have to be avoided.

NOTE!
In England (UK), according to the appli-
cable building regulations (The Building
Regulations 2010: Combustion appliances
and fuel storage systems, point 1.25),
each solid-fuel appliance is required to
have its own chimney.
