Chimney Cap - Nordica FIAMMETTA BII Anweisungen

FIAMMETTA BII – GIORGIA BII – ASIA BII – FIORELLA BII – LUCY BII
A too small section causes a decrease of the draught. It is suggested
a minimum height of 4 m.
The following features are forbidden and therefore they endanger the
good operation of the appliance: asbestos cement, galvanized steel,
rough and porous internal surfaces. Picture 3 gives some examples
of execution.
The minimum section must be 4 dm
for appliances whose duct diameter is lower than 200 mm, or
2
6.25 dm (for example 25 x 25 cm's) for appliances with diameter
greater than 200 mm.
The draught created by the flue must be sufficient, but not excessive.
A too big flue section can feature a too big volume to be heated and
consequently cause difficulties in the operation of the appliance; to
avoid this, tube the flue along its whole height. A too small section
causes a decrease of the draught.
The flue must be properly spaced from any flammable materials
or fuels through a proper insulation or an air cavity.
It is forbidden to let plant piping or air feeding channels pass in the
same flue. Moreover, it is forbidden to create movable or fixed
openings on the same for the connection of further other appliances.

CHIMNEY CAP

The draught of the flue depends also on the suitability of the
chimney cap.
Therefore, if it is handicraft constructed, the output section must be
more than twice as big as the internal section of the flue. Should it be
necessary to exceed the ridge of the roof, the chimney cap must
assure the discharge also in case of windy weather (Picture 4).
The chimney cap must meet the following requirements:
•
have internal section equivalent to that of the stack.
•
have a useful output section twice as big as the flue internal one.
•
be manufactured in such a way as to prevent the penetration of rain, snow, and any other foreign body in the
flue.
•
be easily checkable, for any possible maintenance and cleaning operation.

The right output section must
be at least twice as big as the
internal section of the flue
(ideal value: 2.5 times).
(1) In case of flues side by side, a chimney cap must be higher
than the other one of at least 50 cm in order to avoid pressure
transfers between the flues themselves.
