5.4.1 Discharge through roof using a traditional
chimney
The chimney used to discharge the ue gas must
be made in accordance with standards UNI 10683
- EN 1856-1-2 - EN 1857 - EN 1443 - EN 13384-
1-3 - EN 12391-1 both as regards the dimensions
and the construction materials used.
DAMAGED chimneys made from unsuitable
material (asbestos cement, galvanised steel,
etc.... with a rough and porous inside surface) are
prohibited by law and affect proper stove operation.
The ue gas can be discharged through a traditional
chimney (Fig. 5.4.2) as long as the following rules
are observed:
-
check the conditions of the chimney; old
chimneys should be renovated by introducing
steel piping with suitable insulation (rock wool,
vermiculite).
-
the ue gas can be discharged directly into
the chimney only if the latter has a maximum
cross-section of 15 × 15 cm or diameter of 15
cm and features an inspection opening.
For larger chimneys, suitably insulated steel
pipes need to be inserted on the inside (diameter
according to the length) (Fig. 5.4.3).
Makes sure connections to brick chimneys are
suitably sealed.
Avoid contact with combustible materials (e.g.
wooden beams) and in any case insulate these
using reproof material.
If the ues run through wooden roofs or walls,
special certi ed pass-through kits need to be used,
available on the market.
1) Vermiculite and/or rock wool.
2) Steel pipes.
3) Closure panel.
