5. Installation

Read the manual carefully to ensure the correct and safe installation of the appliance.

5.1 Regulations

Ø
Install the fire according to the applicable European, national, local and construction (installation) regulations.
Ø
Follow the instructions as given in this manual.
Ø
DRU Verwarming provides no guarantee to cover installation and maintenance of the fire and is not responsible
for any resulting consequential damage.

5.2 Flue duct

The following requirements apply for the flue duct:
Ø
The flue duct must be inspected by a specialist beforehand.
Ø
The flue duct must be suitable for a woodburning appliance.
Ø
The fire must be connected to a single, one-piece flue duct.
Ø
The flue duct must be clean and leakproof.
Ø
For the flue duct use material that at least suffices with regard to EN 1856-1 T450.
Ø
For the fire pipe use material that at least suffices with regard to EN 1856-2 T600.
Ø
The offset in the flue duct may be a maximum of 1.5 metres with a minimum angle of 45 degrees from the
horizontal plane, providing the chimney draught is not too weak.
Ø
With a rear fire connection the horizontal part of the flue duct may be a maximum of 500 mm.
Ø
With a rear fire connection to a vertical flue duct a T-piece with soot bag must be used.
Ø
The diameter of the flue duct must be at least equal to the diameter of the flue gas discharge pipe from the fire.
Ø
The flue duct draught must be at least 12 Pascal.
Ø
Fit a flue ventilator if the draught is too weak or if mechanical ventilation in the home causes underpressure in the
installation space.
Ø
A flue gas regulator must be used in a duct with a (too) strong draught (30 - 40 Pa). The draught can then be
controlled. Your appliance can be fitted with a "restrictor cap" to slow any strong draughts (if applicable see
section 9 'Appliance-specific information').
Ø
When fitting a flexible pipe always use a double-walled stainless steel-design with a "smooth" interior.
Ø
A rain cap must be fitted on top of the flue duct to limit rusting and damage to the interior lining of the fire due to
moisture.
Ø
The flue duct must be self-supporting and may not rest on the fire.

5.3 Country-specific installation requirements

Ø
Install the appliance according to the applicable European, national, local and construction (installation)
regulations.

example. We therefore also advise using a fire-resistant floor plate when installing appliances on a wall or ceiling.
UK
Do not make any changes to the fire yourself.
Use clean fabric gloves and avoid fingerprints on the fire and flue pipes.
Depending on the type of suspension, install the fire on a floor, against a wall or on a ceiling with sufficient
load bearing capacity.
Lay a fire-resistant floor plate if the floor is flammable. The floor plate in non-flammable material must extend
at least 300 mm away from the fire and be at least 300 mm wider than the fire. Check these distances before
installation on the basis of applicable national/local laws.
