Installation
2.6 Connection to an
external fluepipe in insulated
or double-walled pipe
The external fluepipe must have internal dimensions
of minimum 10x10 cm or 10 cm diameter, and
maximum 20x20 cm or 20 cm diameter.
Check with suitable instruments that there is a
minimum draught of 12 Pa. (Fig. 6)
The only type of pipe which is permissible is
insulated (double-walled) stainless steel, smooth on
the inside, fixed to the wall. Flexible stainless steel
pipe must not be used.
At the bottom of the flue pipe, provide an inspection
cap to allow periodic checking and cleaning, which
must be done annually.
Make a gas-tight connection to the flue pipe, using
pipes and connectors as recommended by us.
It is imperative that a windproof cowl should be fitted
which complies with the standards in force (UNI
7129 - 7130 - 9615).
This type of connection ensures the
evacuation of the fumes even in the
event of a temporary power cut.
2.7 Connection to a
chimney or flue duct
For proper functioning, the connecting pipe between
the stove and the chimney or flue duct must have a
slope of not less than 3%. The length of the
horizontal stretch must not exceed 2/3 metres, and
the vertical distance between one tee connector
and another (change of direction) must not be less
than 1.5m.
Check with suitable instruments that there is a
minimum draught of 12 Pa. (Fig. 7)
