INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

2. INSTALLATION CONCEPTS ACCORDING TO UNI 10683

2.1. OPERATING AREA

For good operation and good heat distribution, the appliance should be positioned in a place where the air required for combustion can flow (at least 60 m current regulations in the country of installation.

The room volume must not be less than 60 m

Air must enter through permanent openings on the walls (near the product) that open outdoors with a minimum section of 150 cm

These openings (air vents) must be made so as not to be obstructed in any way.

Air can also be taken from adjacent rooms as long as these are equipped with outdoor air vents and are not bedrooms or bathrooms or rooms where fire hazards exist such as garages, wood sheds or flammable material warehouses, strictly observing that stated in current regulations.

/h must be available) according to installation standards and

• The product may not be installed in bedrooms,

bathrooms and where another heating appliance is installed without autonomous air flow (chimney, stove, etc.).

• Placing the appliance in explosive environments

is prohibited.

• The floor of the room where the product is to be

installed must be strong enough to support its weight.

• In the event of wood floors, install a protective

covering in accordance with current regulations in the country of installation.

• If walls are not flammable, install the product at

least 5 cm. from the walls.

Chapter 2

page

2.2. PRECAUTIONS

The product must be installed in a suitable location that permits routine opening and maintenance operations.

The room must be:

• set for room operating conditions

• equipped with an adequate smoke exhaust system

• equipped with outdoor ventilation

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

IMPORTANT!

• The installation and assembly must be carried

out by qualified personnel.

• The product must be connected to a chimney flue

or other vertical conduit that can discharge smoke at the highest point of the house in compliance with current standards.

• Smoke is generated from burning wood and,

therefore, may dirty adjacent or nearby walls.

• Before installing the product, drill a hole for the

external air outlet.

2.3. EXTERNAL AIR OUTLET

The room where the product is installed must have at least as much air flow as required by the normal combustion of the appliance and normal room ventilation. This may occur through permanent openings in the room walls that lead directly outdoors or to ventilated rooms according to UNI 10683 REV.

For this purpose, drill a hole on an exterior wall with a minimum free section of 150 cm² (a 15 cm diameter hole or a 10x15cm rectangle), protected by an indoor and outdoor grille.

The air intake must also:

• directly communicate with the installation room;

• be protected by a grille, made of metallic anti-insect mesh or a

suitable protection as long as it does not reduce the minimum section:

• be installed so as to avoid obstruction;

• in the event of conduits, up to 3.5 ml, increase the section by

about 5%, while for larger sizes increase it by 15%.

Remember that the ventilation grilles always have a cm useful section on one side. When selecting the grille and hole dimensions, make sure the useful grille section is greater than or equal to the section required by MCZ for product operation.

Chapter 2

page

Connecting the air intake directly to the product is not mandatory but the aforesaid section must guarantee about 50 m³/h of air. See standard UNI10683 REV.

IMPORTANT! Air flow may also be obtained from a room adjacent

to the installation room as long as this flow occurs freely through permanent openings that communicate directly with the outdoors; avoid air intakes connecting with heating units, garages, kitchens or bathrooms.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

2.4. CONNECTION TO THE FLUE PIPE

Chapter 2

page

The connection to the flue pipe is a very important element. The connection must be made with great care and attention, because it will be very difficult to correct any construction anomalies or errors without damaging the hood. The connection is also made in a part of the fireplace where temperatures are very high, and thus it is important to use heat-resistant materials that are also resistant to the acidity of the fumes produced by combustion.

Before beginning work it is necessary to pay attention to the following points:

• The connecting pipe must have a maximum slope of 45

degrees. This is to avoid excessive deposit of condensation produced in the initial phases of lighting the fireplace heating system and/or the excessive accumulation of creosote. It also avoids slowing down the evacuation of fumes.

• The connections must be metallic in aluminium-clad

steel with minimum thickness 20/10 or in stainless steel 316 with minimum thickness 10/10. The use of flexible pipes in stainless steel or aluminium is prohibited because it compromises the safety of the connection itself. Flexible pipes are liable to split or crack, causing leakage of smoke.

• The components making up the connecting pipe must be

perfectly sealed.

• The joint to the flue pipe must not be too long (to avoid

obstructions), nor too short (to avoid smoke leakage).

If metal connecting pipes are used, it is essential that they be insulated with suitable material such as ceramic fibre matting in order to avoid deterioration of the walls and the decorative hood.

IMPORTANT! Any increase in the section of the connecting pipe

must be made immediately above the hood of the insert and not part-way along the flue pipe.

2.5. CHIMNEY FLUE

The chimney flue is a fundamental element in discharging smoke

and therefore must have the following requisites:

• It must be waterproof and thermally insulated.

• It must be made with suitable heat-resistant materials that are

also resistant to combustion products and any condensation.

• It must have a vertical slope with axis deviations not over 45°

and without narrowing.

• It must meet the requisites indicated in the technical table for

the internal chimney section and height.

• It must preferably have a circular interior section.

• If pre-existent and previously operative, it must be clean.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

Chapter 2

page

The chimney flue is of primary importance for the correct operation and safety of your insert.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

2.5.1. Examples of chimney flues

Chapter 2

page

AISI 304 stainless steel chimney flue with dual chamber insulated with ceramic wool or equivalent resistant to 400°C.

EXCELLENT

Refractory chimney flue with dual insulated chamber and external concrete sleeve and lightweight clay type honeycomb material.

GOOD

Traditional square section clay chimney flue with insulating hollow inserts.

AVERAGE

Square or rectangular section chimney flues must have rounded internal corners with radius not less than 20mm. For the rectangular section, the ratio between internal dimensions must be ≤1.5.

The recommended section for a chimney flue according to its length is listed in the table below:

Height (m) Section (cm²)

3 mt or more

400 (20x20 cm or ∅ 20 cm)

N.B. Too small or too large a section reduces draught and insulation.

For special sections or section or travel variations, functional smoke exhaust inspections must be conducted as per UNI 9615.

The smoke conduit should be equipped with a solid material collection chamber at the mouth of the smoke conduit to be easily opened with an airtight door.

IMPORTANT! If you have any doubts about your chimney flue

performance or if its dimensions are different from those recommended, we highly advise you have an authorised MCZ technician inspect and measure chimney flue performance (micromanometer measurements).

MCZ s.p.a. is not liable for poor product operation if attributable to the use of a poorly dimensioned chimney flue or installation of the same which fails to meet the listed requirements.

Avoid chimney flues with internal rectangular sections whose larger side is double the smaller such as 20x40 or 15x30.

POOR

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

2.6. CHIMNEY POT

If underestimated, it is a terminal impediment to correct "chimney system" operations.

Chimney flue draught is also a function of its chimney pot.

Therefore, if hand made, its four exhaust sections must correspond to

more than twice the internal section of the chimney flue. Having to exceed the peak of the roof, the chimney pot will be

exposed to wind from all directions, thus an industrial type is recommended.

Industrial chimney pot with overlapping prefabricated elements.

Permits excellent smoke exhaust.

Traditional hand made chimney pot.

The right exhaust section must be at least twice the internal section of the chimney flue,

2.5 times is ideal.

Chapter 2

page

Steel chimney pot for chimney flue with internal smoke deflector cone.

Permits excellent smoke exhaust.

Chimney pots must meet the following requirements:

• It must have an internal section equal to that of the chimney.

• It must have a useful outlet section not less than twice that of

the internal section of the chimney flue.

• It must be built to prevent rain, snow and any foreign object

from getting into the chimney flue.

• It must be installed so as to guarantee suitable smoke

dispersion and, in any case, out of the reflux area where counter-pressure formation is probable.

For paired chimney flues, the chimney pot for solid combustion or the one for the upper floor must be at least 50cm higher than the other to avoid pressure transfers between paired flues.

The chimney pot must not have obstacles within 10 mt such as walls, roof pitches or trees. Otherwise, raise it at least 1 mt above the obstacle and, in the event of other nearby chimney pots, keep them at least 2 mt apart. In any case the chimney pot must exceed the peak of the roof by at least 1mt.
