STELLA1192000 Rev.03 – EN 29Table 18. CONNECTION TO THE CHIMNEYFor safety reasons the door of the appliances with constructive system 1, must be opened only for theloading of the fuel or for removing the ashes, while during the operation and the rest, the door of the hearthmust remain closed.The appliances with constructive system 2 must be connected to their own flue. The operating with opendoor is allowed under supervision. The connection pipe to the flue must be the shortest possible, right, tightand according to the current regulations.The connection to the chimney must be performed with stable and strong pipes (we recommend athickness of 2 mm). The pipe for smokes exhaust must be fixed hermetically to the chimney. The diameterinside the connection pipe must correspond to the external diameter of the smokes exhaust small trunk ofthe stove. This is ensured by pipes according to DIN 1298.ATTENTION: Eventual flammable pieces in the area of 20 cm round the connection pipes must bechanged with fireproof and not sensitive to heat materials.For a good operation of the equipment it is essential that in the installation place it is introduced sufficientair for combustion (see chapter 9).The depression on the chimney (draught) should be 10 Pa (=1.0 mm of water column). The measurementmust be done always with the equipment hot (rating calorific value). When the depression exceeds 17 PA(1.7 mm of water column) it is necessary to reduce the same with the installation of an additional flueadjuster (false air valve) on the exhaust pipe or in the chimney.For safety reasons the door of the hearth may be opened only during the loading of fuel. The hearth mustremain closed during the operation and the periods of non use.9. AIR ENTRANCE INTO THE INSTALLATION PLACE DURING THE COMBUSTIONAs the stoves take their combustion air from the installation place, it is essential that a sufficient quantity of air isintroduced in the installation room itself.In case of tight doors and windows (for example houses built according to the energy saving criteria) it is possible thatthe air entrance is not guaranteed, compromising the draught, the welfare and the security of the people. It isnecessary to guarantee a further air entrance through an external air intake, to be positioned in the nearby of theCHIMNEY CAPS - DISTANCES AND POSITIONINGUNI 10683/98Inclination of the roof Distance between the roofridge and the stackMinimum height of the stack (measured fromthe outlet)αααα A (m) H (m)15°< 1.85 m 0.50 m above the roof ridge> 1.85 m 1.00 m from the roof30°< 1.50 m 0.50 m above the roof ridge> 1.50 m 1.30 m from the roof45°< 1.30 m 0.50 m above the roof ridge> 1.30 m 2.00 m from the roof60°< 1.20 m 0.50 m above the roof ridge> 1.20 m 2.60 m from the roof
