1. BEfORE YOU INSTALL
Inspect the delivery as soon as you receive it. Report any
transport damages to the deliverer.
1.1. INSPECTION OF THE DELIVERY
A normal delivery includes:
the ordered chimney elements and CE decals (2) •
installation manual. •
The equivalence of the delivery to the order document must be
checked as soon as possible. Any missing, defective or wrong
parts must be reported immediately to the supplier. When the
missing or faulty parts are due to the supplier, he will deliver
the required new parts as soon as possible to the assembly
site. The manufacturer and supplier do not take responsibility
for costs arising from indirect damage, delays, work stoppages
etc.
1.2. MATTERS AND REGULATIONS TO BE CONSIDERED
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Remember to account for the E3 regulations of the Finnish
building code or equivalent regulations in Your country of
residence regarding the height of the chimney with regard to
the highest part of the roof.
Check the following as well:
The installation permits for the chimney are in order •
The chimney’s length and its inner pipe’s internal diam- •
eter are in accordance with the fireplace’s manufacturer’s
instructions
Prior to cutting the through holes, make sure there are no
•
floor joists or wall supports in the way
If the chimney needs to be piped sideways because of the
•
fireplace’s location, get the necessary additional parts prior
to starting the installation
Ensure beforehand by measuring that any extension pieces
•
will not be going through floors or the roof.
1.3. SAFETY DISTANCES AND PROTECTIVE CASING
ATTENTION!
Disregarding these instructions may cause fire hazards!
With regard to safety distances, the E3 regulations of the Finn-
ish building code or equivalent regulations in Your country of
residence must be adhered to.
Flammable parts of the building must be situated so far from
the outer surface of the flue channel that their temperature
cannot rise beyond +85
o Celsius (+185 o Fahrenheit), but with
a minimum distance of 50 mm.
In flammable building parts, such as floors and ceilings, the
through hole will be equipped with insulated piping and a
100 mm thick layer of non-flammable material such as fire
wool or fibreglass/ceramic matting with a specific weight of at
least 100 kg/m
3 . When the Kastor K extra insulation cylinder is
used, the additional insulation layer is not necessary.
CHIMNEY SAFETY DISTANCES
If the flue channel borders a cupboard or other storage space,
the protective casing against the chimney’s mantle must not
contain insulation and the casing must have a ventilated airing
slot to prevent overheating in the storage space and chimney.
If there needs to be casing for some reason, the casing must
be made of non-flammable material and have sufficient inter-
nal ventilation. We recommend conferring about the details
with your local fire department’s fire inspector.
The safety distance for non-insulated connection pipes and
extension pipes is 1000 mm. This distance can be reduced
by 50 % with a lightweight, single layer protection and by 75 %
with a double layer. This protection can consist of either 1 mm
thick metal sheeting or 7 mm thick fibre-reinforced cement
panels (not gypsum panels with paper surface). Leave a ven-
tilation gap of 30 mm between wall and protective layer and
keep them detached from floor and ceiling.
Width and height of the protection are defined according to
the 1000 mm rule mentioned above, so that the minimum dis-
tances from the bare pipe to flammable material are kept. The
lower part of the insulated flue channel must extend at least
400 mm downwards from the ceiling.
The reducer cone of a semi-insulated chimney can be right
below the ceiling.
The safety distance is always measured from flammable mate-
rial to the heating device or flue pipe. When the connection
pipe is used, there must be at least 400 mm of insulated pipe
segment below the ceiling.
1.4. SURFACE TREATMENTS
Usually, the mantle of a Kastor Chimney is stainless steel. It
may also be painted at the installation site. The chosen paints
and coatings must be suited to the estimated maximum tem-
peratures and the stresses of outdoor weather. During correct
use, the chimney mantle’s temperature never rises beyond
+80°C/+176°F.
