The wood-burning stove must never been connected to a chimney to which a gas-burning stove
or appliance is connected.
An efficient modern stove places heavy demands on the chimney, and you should have the
chimney regularly swept and inspected by your approved chimney sweep.
The cross-sectional area of the chimney (at its narrowest point) must comply with National and
Local Building Regulations. Generally, the area needed for a Morsø wood-burning stove instal-
lation should measure at least 175 cm2 (150 mm diameter).
An over-sized chimney is generally hard to keep warm and results in poor draft. In cases where
there is an oversized masonry chimney, it is recommended that the chimney be lined using an
appropriate chimney lining system with the correct internal diameter.
With respect to the chimney termination, all chimneys should terminate in accordance with
National and Local Building Regulations.
Note that National and Local Regulations also apply with regard to the placement of chimneys
and flues in connection with thatched roofs. See the section on Draft Conditions, 1.9.
The chimney or flue system must be equipped with access doors for inspection and cleaning.
The size of the cleaning door in the chimney must at least equal that of the cross-sectional
area of the chimney.
In the event that a chimney fire occurs as a result of faulty operation or prolonged use of
damp wood fuel, close the air vents completely and contact your local fire department
immediately.
Stoves installed on small craft should use the Morsø canal boat chimney system or meet
the chimney requirements of BS 8511:2010
1.6 Fluepipe connections
Your stove is supplied ready for a top flue connection (3) the rear flue outlet is fitted with a cover
plate and is situated behind the rear heat shield/convection panel. Where a rear flue installation
is required, simply knock out the steel plates in the rear heat shield/convection panel. This is
best done by applying gentle hammer taps immediately onto
the small ”bridges” in the circular cut-outs. Once the knock-
outs have been removed unbolt the cast iron cover plate and
install it into the top of the stove. The flue collar can then be
bolted over the rear flue outlet using the clamps provided.
Placement of smoke Hood
In some cases Morsø stoves come ready-equipped from
the factory with a smoke hood (1), as shown in the diagram.
(NOTE: Not all stoves require a smoke hood).
Where applicable, the smoke hood must not be used if the
stove is to be installed with a rear flue outlet (3).
The smoke hood must not be fitted if the stove is instal-
led on a boat where the flue height is likely to be less
than 4.5M.
Make sure that the smoke hood and the baffle (2), firebricks
and the riddling grate are positioned correctly.
