19. INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED AND COMMISSIONED BY A FULLY QUALIFIED, REGISTERED
ENGINEER.
The guarantee is void if any part of the installation is found to be illegal.
• This appliance must be installed into a ‘Class 1 Chimney’. If there is no existing chimney, then an approved solid
fuel, factory built, prefabricated block type or a twin walled, stainless steel flue can be used. Get advice from a
qualified chimney engineer. Flue sharing is not allowed.
• The flue diameter of these appliances must be a minimum of 150mm diameter.
• If excessive draw is present, then a suitable ‘flue draught stabilizer’ should be fitted.
• If the chimney suffers from down draught, then a special ‘anti-downdraught’ cowl will need to be fitted. In exposed
windy locations, a ‘stabilizing’ cowl may need to be fitted. The minimum cowl requirement that we recommend, is a
rain cowl with a bird guard.
• To perform satisfactorily, the chimney height must not be less than 5 meters from stove to cowl. If there are any
bends in the flue, this minimum length will need to be increased by 1 meter for each bend.
• The initial connection to the appliance will need to be 600mm vertical before any bend.
• A soot door will be required to facilitate the sweeping of the flue.
• A maximum of four 45 degree bends is allowed in any complete flue; from stove to cowl.
• Adequate access for sweeping the flue, such as a soot door, must be provided.
• Flue pipe should be fitted inside the flue pipe collar (spigot) to prevent creosote and condensates from running
down onto the top of the appliance. (see specifications for exact collar sizes)
• All flue pipe must be suitable for solid fuel (complies with latest European regs.) and fitted in accordance with
building regulations, whilst complying with current legislation and manufacturers’ instructions.
• If a rear flue is able to be fitted, the horizontal length must be no longer than 150mm.
• If there is additional ventilation in any room, this will create air depression and the risk of the products of combustion
being drawn into the room Mechanical ventilation in the same room as any solid fuel appliance must be avoided.
• This appliance should be connected to an open vented system in line with building regulations and any other
regulations that are in force at the time should be observed.
20 FLUE REQUIREMENTS
This appliance has a European sized flue collar that is metric in size. An adaptor is required for the initial connection
to the flue collar. (spigot) This is available from your stockist.
SUPREMA GRANDE SUPREMA PETITE
ø A = 160 mm ø A = 150 mm
ø B = 151 mm ø B = 141 mm
ø C = 148 mm ø C = 138 mm
BOTH appliances requires a minimum flue diameter of 150mm
The draw of the chimney should be at least 12 Pa (1.2mm of a column of water). The measurement must always be
done when the stove is hot (producing nominal heat values). When the pressure exceeds 17 Pa (1.7mm of a column
of water) it will be necessary to control it by the installation of a flue draft stabilizer.
Installation, construction, and maintenance of chimneys and flues must comply with Building regulations ‘Approved
Document (ADJ)’ A guidance document is available to assist in the interpretation of the Approved Document.
Any domestic solid fuel appliance will only work efficiently when connected to a chimney system capable of
generating adequate up-draft to induce sufficient air supply for complete combustion and to overcome any friction
resistance association with the system. The natural up-draft on a chimney will depend on a number of factors. The
chimney is one of the most important parts of the installation; great care should be given to its design.
The chimney must be thoroughly swept, checked for soundness and suitability, before any connection is made to the
appliance. This must be carried out by a qualified person. If re-using an existing flue, the flue and the chimney should
be checked and if necessary, altered to ensure that they satisfy the requirements for the proposed use. Lining a
defective flue is an option.
21 LINING THE FLUE
An independently certified flexible metal liner can be used to reline a chimney. An insulated chimney is the most
efficient and safe way to burn wood.
An insulated chimney helps prevent tar deposits forming. A standard chimney will gradually get saturated in tar, this is
a fire hazard. Tar stains may appear on the surface of the chimney breast inside the property.
