Flue Deposits
If the chimney was previously used as an open re, it is possible
that the higher ue gas temperatures generated by the stove
may loosen deposits that were previously adhered to the inner
surface of the ue pipe which could cause blockage of the ue
pipe. We recommend that in this situation a second sweeping of
the chimney should be carried out within one month of initial stove
use after installation.
Flue Draught
The chimney should be checked before the stove is installed to
ensure that there is adequate ue pull. The draught can be checked
initially by using a smoke match close to the ue opening. If the
chimney doesn’t pull the smoke it may suggest that the chimney
needs further attention. Any remedial work to the chimney ue
should be carried out by a suitably Qualied Engineer.
A ue draught of minimum 12 Pascal to maximum 25 Pascal is
required for satisfactory appliance performance. The ue draught
should be checked under re at high output and if it exceeds the
recommended maximum a ue draught stabiliser (or ue damper
as it is also known) must be tted so the rate of burning can be
controlled and prevent overring.
Room Ventilation
For safe operation this stove must be provided with combustion
air supply in addition to normal room ventilation, in accordance
with Building Regulations. Minimum ventilation requirements vary
depending on whether the dwelling is considered to be of standard
construction or of airtight construction, or if a ue draught stabiliser
has been tted. The required open air vent sizes are as follows:
Table 4 - Additional Room Ventilation Required
Standard build dwellings {air permeability >5.0m³ /(h.m²)}
No Flue Stabiliser 2 cm²
With Flue Stabiliser 18 cm²
Airtight build dwellings {air permeability ≤5.0m³ /(h.m²)}
No Flue Stabiliser 29 cm²
With Flue Stabiliser 45 cm²
An extractor fan must not be used in the same room as this
appliance.
Floor Protection & Installation Clearances
In all instances the stove should be positioned on a non-
combustible hearth. The construction of the hearth must conform
to Building Regulations, must be rm, non-combustible and capable
of supporting the stove. Care should be taken to ensure the stove
is level and the hearth is secure.
The stove can be installed in suitably sized recess, either purpose
built or an existing replace. In this instance a solid constructional
hearth of minimum 125mm must be used, including the thickness
of the floor and any decorative top surface (e.g. tiling). We
recommend a permanent free air gap of at least 150mm should
be left around the sides where possible and 300mm around the
top to obtain maximum heat output and for access to the rear of
the stove. Place the product in the desired location on reproof
hearth taking note of installation clearances from adjacent walls
(Fig 4). Adjust the screws on the bottom of the feet to ensure the
stove is level and steady (see ‘A’ Fig 2).
The stove can also be installed freestanding in the room. In this
instance a reduced thickness hearth may be used, which must
be made from non-combustible board, sheet or tiles of minimum
thickness12mm. (Fig 5) shows the minimum distances required
- 2 -
from the hearth edge to the sides of the stove.
In all cases allow an apron of at least 300mm at the front of the
stove in case of spills when de-ashing.
Table 5 shows the minimum safe distances to combustable
materials which must be observed. Any surrounding combustible
material should not exceed 80°C.

Flue Pipes
The ue pipe used to connect to the stove should be made of cast
iron, 316 grade stainless steel or vitreous enamelled steel, nominal
thickness 1.2mm. The diameter of the ue pipe should be 125mm
(5”) for the Langbrook 5kW model.
Connect the ue pipe to the stove making sure that it ts snugly
into the base of the ue collar . Seal the collar and ue connection
with re cement or with other suitable high temperature sealant.
Add ue sections as required; note that all ue sockets must face
upwards. Ensure that the ue pipe end is no closer than 76mm
to the side or rear of the chimney walls. It is essential that all
connections between the stove and the chimney ue are sealed
and made airtight.
Avoid using bends greater than 45° to the vertical (Fig 6). All ue
pipes should be as close to vertical where possible. For rear ue
connection the length of the horizontal run of the ue pipe should
not exceed 150mm (Fig 7). Both chimney and ue pipe must be
accessible for cleaning and if ALL parts of the chimney cannot be
reached, a soot door must be tted to enable this to be done.
This product should not be installed on a shared ue.
Existing Fireplace
An existing replace opening can be bricked up or sealed with a
register plate, 2.5mm sheet steel or concrete. A short length of
ue pipe may then be used to connect the stove to the chimney.
Ideally the old replace should be lled in so that there is a smooth
streamlined entry into the ueway. (Fig 7)
Typical installation for Inglenook Fireplaces
Inglenook replaces can have very large bore chimneys (Fig 8).
Check with your installer – you may need a stainless steel exible
ue liner for solid fuel tting.
Flue Damper (Not Supplied)
When burning wood, a ue damper may be tted to reduce the
draught through the stove if the draught is too high. When the
damper is set in the open position the chimney draws at full
draught, increasing the volume of air ow through the stove and
ue. Shutting the damper restricts the ow, slowing the rate of
burning. The damper should be tted to the stove ue and should
be the same size as the ue pipe. As a rule it should be tted no
closer than 700mm from the ue outlet of the appliance.
A ue damper should not be tted when burning solid fuels
other than wood.
Commissioning
Upon completion of installation, the stove and ue system should
be tested by a suitably qualied person to make sure it is safe for
normal use. A smoke draw test should be completed to check for
soundness of joints and seals and also that all smoke and fumes
are taken from the appliance up the chimney and emitted safely.
First warm the ue with a blowlamp or similar for about 10 minutes.
Place a lit smoke pellet on the centre of the grate with the air
