INSTALLATION GENERAL PRECAUTIONS HEARTH Note : All local regulations, including those referring to National and European standards need to be complied with, when installing the appliance. The Building Regulations for England and Wales 2000 ref Approved Document J 2002 edition (issued by the DTLR). The Building Standards (Scotland) (Consolidation) Regulations.
INSTALLATION See addendum on page 7 ROPING GUIDE FOR FLUE OUTLET AND HOT PLATE Joint Overlap All Villager hot plates and spigots are manufactured with a rope groove to accept our high temperature self adhesive sealing rope supplied. This eliminates the need for messy and caustic fire cement, and allows for easy removal for inspection and cleaning, without the accompanying re-sealing mess associated with fire cement. Fig. 2.
INSTALLATION FLUES AND CHIMNEYS The flue draw is critical on any installation and should be checked to ensure that it matches what is specified. If it is higher than recommended, provision must be made to correct the over draw. The draw can vary in different weather conditions and the customer should be made aware of this. Failure to correct an over-drawing flue will invalidate the warranty.
INSTALLATION the rear outlet of the appliance is used, in which case the horizontal section should not exceed 150mm (6”) in length. If the stove appears to be working hard but produces very little output to the room it is likely that excess draw is present in the chimney, and that heat is being sucked out of the appliance and up the chimney. If this is the case we recommend the fitting of a draught stabiliser in preference to a flue damper, in the interest of safety and efficiency.
INSTALLATION NOTE - Under no circumstances should this appliance be connected to a shared flue system, that serves any other heating appliance.
