INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SITE REQUIREMENTS
13
1. GENERAL
1.1 These instructions relate to all oil fired Two and Four Oven
Traditional cookers with a conventional flue. These include
models with and without a hot water boiler.
1.2 The Two and Four Oven Traditional are normally delivered
in kit form for assembly on site by an engineer trained by
Redfyre Cookers. Please refer to the Build Instructions
which are supplied separately.
1.3 One very important point to note with the oil fired
models is that the oil control valve is fitted on the left-
hand side of the cooker. When fitting the cooker, extra
clearance is required for the control valve. (See
dimensions diagrams for all clearances).
2. FLUE SYSTEMS
1
NOTE: The first section of flue from the draught divert to the
sealing plate must be 102mmø (4”),
2.1 This appliance is designed to operate with a Class 2 flue,
nominally 125mm (5”) in diameter. To ensure correct
performance, both flue and termination should conform to
the relevant British Standards.
NOTE: COMBUSTION TESTING, FLUE GAS ANALYSIS
AND DRAUGHT MEASUREMENT MUST BE CARRIED
OUT ON SITE BY THE APPROVED COMMISSIONING
ENGINEER.
2.2 The quality of the flue is vital for satisfactory operation. A
thorough pre-installation check by a flue specialist is
advisable. If an existing flue is to be used, the specialist will
advise on re-lining and the correct choice of cowl or
terminal for site wind conditions etc.
2.3 Before installing the appliance into an existing flue, check
that:
• Theflueisclearofobstructions.Repairanystructural
damage.
• Theflueiscontinuous.Anybreaksinseals,fluelinersetc.
must be rectified. A flexible steel liner (oil grade), BS4543
Parts 1 & 3 is highly recommended.
• Thefluediameterisuniformoveritsentirelength.
• Theflueisnotservinganotherappliance.Neverconnectto
a shared flue.
• Theflueisnotconstructedwhollyofasingle-skinpipe.This
must not be used under any circumstances. It has minimal
heat retention properties, and will lead to an overall loss of
efficiency, as well as condensation in the flue and ovens.
• Vermiculitebackfill,ortheequivalent,isusedwhenevera
flexible liner is installed. It must be sealed top and bottom.
Salt-glazed clay or precast liners are acceptable.
3. FLUE HEIGHT
3.1 A minimum of 3 metres (10 feet) is required between the
cowl and the top of the cooker. This ensures that the flue
gases are vented into relatively still air, and is less affected
by nearby buildings or trees in certain circumstances, trees
or other obstructions may need to be removed.
3.2 Installation with flues in excess of 10 metres in height is not
recommended. Very tall flues are likely to exceed the
maximum flue draught specified in the technical data. High
flue draughts can cause problems with oven and hob
temperatures and increase running costs.
3.3 The cowl must be at least 1 metre above any obstruction
within 600mm, and the siting of the flue should comply
with OFTEC regulations.
4. HORIZONTAL RUNS
4.1 Horizontal runs of greater than 450mm (18”) should be
avoided. If the flue has to be offset, the recommended
angle is 60
o
. and the legal minimum 45
o
. Never use a bend
of 90
o
.
4.2 If the installation is using an existing flue, horizontal runs
should be avoided. A vertical rise of 600mm (24”) is the
mandatory minimum before turning into the flue. If it is
necessary to exhaust into an extended flue after the
mandatory 600mm rise, the horizontal run must not exceed
450mm.
NOTE: ALL FLUE CONNECTIONS MUST BE FULLY
SEALED AND INSPECTED BY THE INSTALLER ON
COMPLETION.
5. FLUE CLEANING
5.1 Annual inspection and cleaning of the flue is recommended.
Therefore a cleaning door, or some other means of access,
should be incorporated into the system.
