TARA SOLID FUEL CENTRAL HEATING STOVE
INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

When installing, operating and maintaining your
Tara Stove respect basic standards of fire safety.
Read these instructions carefully before commenc­ing the installation. Failure to do so may result in
damage to persons and property. Consult your local
Municipal office and your insurance representative
to determine what regulations are in force. Save
these instructions for future reference.

Please note that it is a legal requirement under
England & Wales Building Regulations that the
installation of the stove is either carried out under
Local Authority Building Control approval or is
installed by a Competent Person registered with a
Government approved Competent Persons
Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a scheme and a
listing of their Registered Competent Persons can
be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.

Special care must be taken when installing the stove
such that the requirements of the Health & Safety at
Work Act are met.

Handling

Adequate facilities must be available for loading,
unloading and site handling.

Fire Cement

Some types of fire cement are caustic and should
not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In
case of contact with the skin wash immediately with
plenty of water.

Asbestos

This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possi­bility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation then please seek specialist guidance and
use appropriate protective equipment.

Metal Parts

When installing or servicing this stove care should
be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.

“IMPORTANT WARNING”

This stove must not be installed into a chimney that
serves any other heating appliance.

There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same
room as the stove as this can cause the stove to
emit fumes into the room.

4

The complete installation must be done in accor­dance with current Standards and Local Codes. It
should be noted that the requirements and these
publications may be superseded during the life of
this manual.

Fig.1

CHIMNEY

Do not connect to a chimney serving another
appliance.

The stove is a radiant room heater and must be con­nected to a chimney of the proper size and type.
The chimney must have a cross-sectional area of at
least 30 square inches 18150sq. mm or a diameter
of at least 6” (150mm). It is best to connect to a
chimney of the same size, as connection to a larger
size may result in a somewhat less draught. Do not
connect to a chimney serving another appliance.

Minimum chimney height 15’(4.1 meters) from floor
on which stove is installed. An existing masonry
chimney should be inspected and if necessary
repaired by a competent mason. The stove must be
connected to a chimney with a minimum continuous
draft of .06 wg. Poor draft conditions will result in
poor performance.

PRE INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY

1. After removing the stove from its pack, open
the front door and remove the contents.

2. Fit the front door handle using the M8 screw,
as shown in Fig.1.

3. Remove the stove from the wooden pallet.

4. Fit the front ash tray by slotting into place on
the front and secure it using the screws
provided.

In adverse weather conditions, down drafts may be
experienced causing smoke or fumes to spill into the
room. If this occurs shut the appliance down by
closing the air controls. If the problem persists seek
the advice of a chimney sweep.

Fig 2

FLUES

Flues should be vertical wherever possible and
where a bend is necessary, it should not make an
angle of more than 45

o

with the vertical. Horizontal
flue runs should be avoided except in the case of a
back outlet appliance, when the length of the hori­zontal section should not exceed 150mm.

In order to minimise flue resistance and to make
sweeping easier it is recommended to use 2 x 45

o

bends rather than a 90obend.

The flue termination point must be located to min­imise any wind effects. Wind effects of suction,
pressure zones and turbulence can be created by
the roof and adjacent objects. Wind effects can also
be created by natural land contours.

To minimise the wind effects, the flue termination
point should be located a minimum of 1000mm from
the roof measured vertically and 2300mm measured
horizontally. Where this termination point does not
suffice it may be necessary to extend the flue pipe
so that the termination point is above the apex. (See
Fig.3)

FLUE PIPES

A flue pipe should only be used to connect an appli­ance to a chimney and should not pass through any
roof space.

Flue pipes may be of any of the following materials:

(a) Cast iron as described in BS 41: 1973

(1981), or

(b) Stainless steel with a wall thickness of

at least 1mm and as described in BS
EN 10095:1999 Specification for
stainless and heat resisting steel
plate, sheet and strip, for Grade 316
S11, 316 S13, 316 S16, 316 S31,
316 S33, or the equivalent Euronorm
88-71 designation, or

(c) Vitreous enamelled steel complying with BS

6999: 1989.

Flue pipes with spigot and socket joints should be fit­ted with the socket uppermost.

Clearance to combustibles must be adhered to
when fitting the flue pipe.

The appliance is suitable for continuous operation
on solid mineral fuel and intermittent operation on
wood logs.

TOP FLUE EXIT

For top outlet configuration remove the hob from the
top of the stove, turn the hob upside down and place
it on the floor, taking care not to damage it. Remove
the hob blanking plate by unscrewing the two
screws from underneath the hob.

Next remove the flue blanking plate from the top of
the stove by unscrewing the two screws, connect
this blanking plate to the rear flue outlet at the back
of the stove. Replace the hob in the correct position.

Connect the connector pipe (not supplied) into the
top flue outlet socket at the top of the stove and
cement into place using approved fire cement ensur­ing that no cement blocks the flue passageway.

VENTILATION & COMBUSTION AIR REQUIRE­MENTS

It is imperative that there is sufficient air supply to
the stove in order to support correct combustion.

The air supply to this appliance must comply with
B.S. 8303: Part 1.

The minimum effective air requirement for this appli­ance is 21cm

2

(3.25in2). When calculating combus­tion air requirement for this appliance use the fol­lowing equation: a total free area of at least 550mm

2

per kW of rated output above 5kW shall be provid­ed.

If there is another air using appliance fitted in the
same or adjacent room, it will be necessary to cal­culate additional air supply.

All materials used in the manufacture of air vents
should be such that the vent is dimensionally stable
and corrosion resistant.

The effective free area of any vent should be ascer­tained before installation. The effect of any screen
should be allowed for when determining the effective
free area of any vent.

Air vents direct to the outside of the building should
be located so that any air current produced will not
pass through normally occupied areas of the room.

An air vent outside the building should not be locat­ed less than the dimensions specified within the
Building Regulations from any part of any flue termi­nal. These air vents must also be fire proofed as per
Building Regulations.

Air vents in internal walls should not communicate
with bedsits, toilets, bathrooms or rooms containing
a shower.

Air vents traversing cavity walls should include a
continuous duct across the cavity. The duct should
be installed in such a manner as not to impair the
weather resistance of the cavity.

REAR FLUE EXIT

For rear flue outlet configuration push in flue con­nector pipe (not supplied) into flue outlet socket at
the rear of the stove and cement into place using
approved fire cement ensuring that no cement
blocks the flue passageway.

It is recommended that a minimum clearance of
100mm be maintained from the sides and rear of the
appliance to a tiled fireplace or masonry wall, espe­cially on the right of the appliance as access is
required for the controls.

Fig. 5

7

Fig.6

It is recommended that this appliance is sited next to
and on a non-combustible surface. A minimum all
round clearance of 100 mm will allow air circulation
and not impede the performance of the stove.

The connector may pass through walls or partitions
constructed of combustible materials provided the
connector is either listed for wall pass-through or is
routed through a device listed for a wall pass­through and is installed in accordance with the con­ditions of the listing. Any unexposed metal that is
used as part of a wall pass-through system is
exposed to flue gases shall be constructed of stain­less steel or other equivalent material that will resist
corrosion, softening, or cracking from flue gas at
temperatures up to 982

o

C.

FLOOR PROTECTION

It is recommended that this appliance is installed on
a solid, level, non- combustible hearth conforming to
current Building Regulations.

The hearth should extend at least 127mm from the
sides and rear of the stove and 460mm from the
front. See Fig. 6.

Joints between air vents and outside walls should be
sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture. Existing
air vents should be of the correct size and unob­structed for the appliance in use.

Where such a installation exists, a test for spillage
should be made with the fan or fans and other appli­ances using air in operation at full rate, (i.e. extrac­tion fans, tumble dryers) with all external doors and
windows closed.

If spillage occurs following the above operation, an
additional air vent of sufficient size to prevent this
occurrence should be installed.

PERMANENT AIR VENT

The stove requires a permanent and adequate air
supply in order for it to operate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the
installer will have fitted a permanent air supply vent
into the room in which the stove is installed to pro­vide combustion air. This air vent should not under
any circumstances be shut off or sealed.

Extractor Fan

There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same
room as the stove as this can cause the stove to
emit smoke and fumes into the room.

LOCATION

There are several conditions to be considered in
selecting a location for your Tara Stove.

a. Position in the area to be heated, central

locations are usually best.

b. Allowances for proper clearances to

combustibles.
