This above information is to assist in your choice of a suitable Gazco stove. This is not intended to be all the information required to install your stove. This can be obtained from your
local Gazco retailer or you can download full installation instructions from the Gazco website at www.gazco.com.
Balanced Flue
(No chimney required)
Air for combustion is drawn in through the outer pipe whilst
the inner pipe removes the combustion gases to the exterior of
the property. Depending on the stove selected, the twin-walled
pipe may exit horizontally through an external wall or vertically
through the roof. Gazco offers a comprehensive range of
balanced flue system components. Please refer to our dedicated
Concentric Flue System brochure which can be requested from
your retailer or viewed online at www.gazco.com.
Electric Stoves
(No chimney required)
Gazco produce an excellent selection of electric stoves which
do not require a chimney or flue of any kind.
All stoves shown with this symbol, boast the
advantage of not normally requiring an air
vent* where the air permeability is greater than
5.0m3/hr/m2. Please discuss this in full with
your local Gazco retailer.
*Requirements in the Republic Of Ireland are different.
Balanced Flue
Brick or Stone Chimney
(Class 1)
The chimney stack rises well above the roofline and is
topped by a traditional chimney pot or gas terminal. This
type of chimney relies on the natural circulation of heated
air to expel the products of combustion up your chimney.

Pre-Fabricated Flues
(Class 1 & 2)
You will see a metal flue cowl on your roof. Some are
all metal whilst others may terminate through a short
rectangular pot (but without a chimney stack). These
flues create the same circulation of heated air as a brick
or stone chimney.
Conventional Flue
Conventional flue systems are easily recognisable as either
a conventional brick or stone chimney, pre-fabricated
or precast chimney system. Should your home have
none of these at present, it is usually possible to have a
pre-fabricated system installed in your home if required.
Balanced flues work in conjunction with Gazco’s Glass Fronted
gas stoves. The appliance is completely sealed from the room
into which it is installed (so there are no draughts and heating
efficiency is increased) and a twin-wall pipe vents
directly to an outside wall.
