VENTILATION
It is very important that sufficient air for combustion and ventilation is provided to the room containing the appliance, to enable correct and efficient working of the appliance and chimney system. Reference should be made to the appliance manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations are also given in the Building Regulations Document J, CIBSE guidance notes and BS 5440.
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS
The carbon monoxide alarms should comply with BS EN 50291
Where a new or replacement fixed solid fuel appliance is installed in a dwelling, a carbon monoxide alarm must be provided in the room where the appliance is located.
Please follow manufacturers instructions with regards to siting and fixing or alternatively:
a) On the ceiling at least 300mm from any wall or if it is located on a wall, as high up as possible (above any doors and windows), but not within 150mm of the ceiling and
b) between 1m and 3m horizontally from the appliance.
N.B Provision of a carbon monoxide alarm should not be regarded as a substitute for correct installation and regular servicing.
PAINTING
On high temperature applications,where ICID Plus is being connected directly to the stove, then a high temperature paint specification must be used on all appliance connectors and components used within 2 meters of the appliance outlet. See Schiedel ICID Plus catalogue for details of Schiedel High Temperature Paint spec. If painting of any external sections is required, it is important to de-grease, dry and prime the exterior surface prior to the application of appropriate heat resistant paint. Schiedel Chimney Systems can provide to special order, chimney sections and accessories painted to an extensive range of British Standard RAL colours – details on application.
HANDLING
It is advised that suitable PPE should be used when handling the products.
DELIVERY TO SITE AND STORAGE
Components should be carefully transported and off loaded. They should be inspected to ensure they have not been damaged, and should be stored off the ground and under cover so that they are protected from accidental damage and the adverse effects of weather.
