9.2.2 Connection of the flue
9.2.2.1 Regular connection of the flue
In an existing situation the flue can be connected in 3 ways: without venting material, using a fixed connection or
by using a flexible connection.
Not all connection methods are allowed in all countries! Install the appliance strictly according to the
!CAUTION
country-specific conditions.
For the method without venting material you must create an airtight connection with ceramic wool between
the top side of the fire and the chimney (see paragraph 5.7.2).
When making a fixed connection use must be made of the specially developed tapered ring or the draining
flex/fix connecting piece. This is available through your supplier.
Proceed as follows (see Appendix 2, Fig. 3a to 3c):
Ø
Fix the ring/connecting piece using 3 bolts on the top side of the appliance.
Ø
Fit the appliance.
Ø
Slide the pipe over the tapered ring or into the draining flex/fix connecting piece.
A draining flex/fix connecting piece is available for a flexible connection.
Proceed as follows (see Appendix 2, Fig. 3a to 3c):
Ø
Pull the flexible pipe through the chimney.
Ø
Fix the draining flex/fix connecting piece using 3 self-tapping screws to the flexible pipe.
Ø
Push the flexible pipe including connecting piece back in the chimney.
Ø
Slide the fire into place.
Ø
Remove the flame baffle plate(s) if this is/these are already in the correct place in the top of the appliance
(see paragraph 9.7.1.3.2.
Ø
Insert a hand through the flue hole and grasp the connecting piece handle.
Ø
Pull the flexible pipe with the connecting piece downwards.
Ø
Fasten the flexible connecting piece to the appliance with 3 bolts.
The handle in the flexible connecting piece (see Appendix 2, Fig. 3b) can be broken out after installation. This is
!Caution
not necessary but can be desirable for sweeping the chimney.
The draining flex/fix connecting piece can be used to make both a flexible or fixed connection.
Tip!
With a fixed connection the pipe material lowers fully into the connecting piece, with a flexible connection only
!Caution
half of it (see Appendix 2, Fig. 3c).
9.1.2.2 RS (room sealed) connection
The appliance is provided with a flue ring. It should be attached air-tight (room sealed) to your flue duct.
A room sealed connection can be made in the following ways:
•
•
In case of a flexible connection, proceed as follows (see appendix 2, fig. 3a to 3c):
Ø
Remove the flame baffle plate.
Ø
Disassemble the connecting piece by loosening the 3 nuts from the inside.
Ø
Pull the flexible pipe through the chimney.
Ø
Fix the draining flex/fix connecting piece to the flexible pipe, using 3 self-tapping screws.
Apply heat resistant paste between the connecting collar and flexible hose for an air-tight connection.
CAUTION!
Ø
Push the flexible pipe including the connecting piece back in the chimney.
Ø
Slide the fire into place.
Ø
Insert a hand through the flue hole and grasp the connecting piece handle.
Ø
Pull the flexible pipe with the connecting piece downwards.
Ø
Fasten the flexible connecting piece to the appliance with 3 bolts.
Ø
Mount the flame baffle plate.
The handle in the flexible connecting piece (see appendix 2, fig. 3b) can be broken out after installation. This is not
!Caution
necessary but can be desirable for sweeping the chimney.

Fixed connection: When making a fixed connection, the flue material must be connected air-tight to the flue
ring. Do this with the aid of heat resistant paste.
Flexible connection: When making a flexible connection, the flexible tube must be connected air-tight to
the flue ring using the heat resistant paste.
