Table of Contents Warnings ................................................................................................................................
Installation Guide Warnings It is a legal requirement that the installation of all new or replacement, wood or solid fuel heating appliances must obtain Building Control approval from your local authority. This can be done by using a qualified heating engineer, affiliated to a government approved competent persons scheme such as operated by HETAS. If in doubt, contact HETAS limited, telephone: 0845 634 5626 or visit www.hetas.co.
Installation Guide Installation Requirements Hearths and Recesses The stove should be installed on a surface with adequate load bearing capacity. If the existing construction does not meet this prerequisite, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) should be taken to achieve it. Please pay particular attention when examining existing building work for suitability to meet the following requirements.
Installation Guide Air for Combustion All stoves require ventilation to burn safely and correctly. There are a number of requirements that need to be met when installing a stove, for example, allowing for the permeability of the house (air permeability is the general seepage of air into the house via air vents, doors and windows etc.) There must always be a permanent means of providing air for combustion into the room in which the stove is installed.
Installation Guide Failure to correct an over-drawing flue will invalidate the warranty. A chimney may comply with regulations but could still be subject to down draught and similar problems. A chimney terminating above the ridge level is generally less likely to suffer such problems. If a new chimney is being provided it should fully comply with the relevant Building Regulations that specify the requirements for solid fuel burning installations.
Installation Guide retained by the installer and another left with the user. Where an appliance with a vertical chimney exit is used, there is at least 600mm between the top of the appliance and centre line of the horizontal section. There is access to inspect and clean the horizontal section. This can be either through the appliance or via an inspection plate on the flue pipe.
Installation Guide Assembling or removing the grate bars. The grate in the stove, comprises of a series of reciprocating cast iron grate bars, seated on a pivoted ‘comb’. All bars in the grate are identical, but every other bar is turned through 180 degrees, with the ends of the bars marked ‘H’ sitting on the high sections of the comb, and the ends marked ‘L’ sitting on the low sections.
Installation Guide Commissioning the Stove Before handing over the installation to the customer it is a requirement under Document J (of the Building Regulations for England & Wales) that the appliance is lit and the functioning of the chimney system is checked for satisfactory operation. Be sure that the chimney is operating and all smoke and fumes are vented to the atmosphere through the chimney terminal. Check all joints and seals.
