Flue / Chimney.
-
The stove is approved for use with 127mm (5
inch) diameter insulated Selkirk
insta - lock gas vent.
-
The spigot is designed to be compatible with a
selkirk 5 SIL - DH draft hood connector. The inner
sleeve will require reducing in length so that it
protrudes 25mm below the outer sleeve (See figure
8).
-
Before you install the stove make sure the
chimney flue outlet is correctly positioned to align
with the flue outlet on the stove and that the
chimney is in good condition. If not, a chimney liner
must be installed or a suitable class 2 gas flue used. A draught is necessary to ensure
the products of combustion are fully evacuated. Connect and seal the stove flue collar
to the chimney using full depth of collar. The flue must have a minimum effective
height of 3 metres (10ft), however, to ensure optimum performance we recommend
3.66 metres (12ft) or higher. The flue must be free of obstruction and any dampers
must be fixed in a permanently open position. Ensure that the chimney is not closed
and that it has been swept prior to the stove being installed. Make sure that rain,
birds or any foreign bodies cannot get into the chimney and cause blockage or
damage. This problem can normally be overcome by fitting an approved Gas Cowl. It
is essential to the effective running of your stove that the chimney draws properly and
allows the products of combustion to escape.
Ventilation.
-
Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of this appliance. In GB reference should be made to BS5871 Part 1
and in IE reference should be made to the current edition of IS 813 “ Domestic gas
installations” which make clear the conditions that must be met to demonstrate that
sufficient ventilation is available.
-
An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this appliance, or in any
area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it does not affect the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the spillage test requirements detailed further on
in this manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.
Location.
This appliance must not be installed in a private garage or any room, which contains
a bath, or shower or where steam is regularly present.
