It is not compulsory to connect the air intake directly
with the stove (so that it draws air directly from
outside), but it is essential at all events to ensure an
airflow of 50 cubic metres per hour by the use of a
hole of the dimensions given.
See standard UNI 10683 REV.
2.6. CONNECTION OF THE SMOKE DISCHARGE PIPE
When making the hole for the passage of the smoke discharge pipe, it
is necessary to take into account the possible presence of flammable
materials. If the hole will be going through a wall made of wood or any
other material which is sensitive to heat, the INSTALLER MUST first
of all use the special wall union (diam.13cm minimum) and properly
insulate the pipe of the stove that passes through it, using adequate
insulation materials (thickness1.3—5 cm with minimum thermal
conductivity of 0.07 W/m°K).
The same is true if the stove pipe must run through vertical or
horizontal stretches passing in proximity (min.20cm) to the heat-
sensitive wall
As an alternative we recommend the use of insulated pipe, which can
also be used on the outside to avoid condensation.
The combustion chamber works in low pressure. The smoke duct for
the discharge of fumes will also be under low pressure when connected
to an efficient flue pipe as directed.
Pipes and unions with suitable gaskets must always
be used, to guarantee a hermetic seal.
All sections of the smoke duct must be accessible for
inspection and removable to enable periodic internal
cleaning. Tee connectors with inspection caps should be
used.
Position the stove in consideration of all the instructions and
considerations above.
IMPORTANT !
All 90 degree changes of direction in the flue pipe
must be fitted with suitable tee connectors to allow
the possibility of inspection (see the pellet stove
accessory list).
It is absolutely unacceptable to fit a grille on the end
of the discharge pipe, because it could lead to poor
running of the stove.
FOR FLUE PIPE CONNECTION DO NOT USE MORE
THAN 2-3 M. OF HORIZONTAL PIPES AND DO NOT
USE MORE THAN THREE 90° BENDS
