5. IMPORTANT fACTORS, RULES AND

REGULATIONS

Kastor Chimneys have been designed for use only as a flue
channel for the flue gases emitted by fireplaces that are used
according to regulations. Emissions that differ from the regula-
tions (e.g. heat, pollutants) may damage the chimney. To
prevent damage to the flue channel, avoid burning plastics or
material that includes plastic (possible creation of hydrochlo-
ric acid, for instance). Various glues may also contain plastic
or other pollutants, which is why glued pieces must not be
burned in the fireplace.

Always check that the fireplace and its accessories are in a
condition that ensures clean flue gas. The condition of the
chimney must be checked regularly, i.e. once a month!

In addition to these instructions and official regulations, the
instructions given by the fireplace’s manufacturer must also
be heeded, as well as the limits set by the output of fireplaces
to various types of chimneys. The temperature of flue gases as
they exit the fireplace must not exceed 600°C/1112°F for more
than short periods. Sauna stoves can at times produce flue
gases that are this hot.

It must also be noted that according to building codes), chim-
neys must not have extensive horizontal draughts without
assurance of a good draft for instance with a roof exhaust van.
The matters presented in these instructions are valid only for
parts manufactured by Kastor Oy. Kastor Oy does not take
responsibility for cases in which parts from other manufactur-
ers were attached to our systems.

If anything is unclear, we urge you to inquire about them from
your local fire inspector or the manufacturer. According to of-
ficial regulations chimney fires, even extinguished ones, must
always be reported to the fire department.

The chimney must be inspected after every chimney fire due
to the high temperatures it causes.

Warning: Neglecting these instructions or official regulations
may lead to damage in the chimney and fires or other hazard-
ous situations.
