15. Installation – fluing off the back (b)

When the stove and chimney are some distance apart, the draught will inevitably be degraded.
XXYou can minimise the problem by angling the interconnecting pipe up at 45º or steeper and by insulating it. This way you harness the upward thrust of the flue gases which are at their maximum temperature and buoyancy as they leave the stove.
XXHorizontal connections are to be avoided at all costs; 150mm (6") is the maximum that should be considered at the back of any woodburning or multifuel appliance.
XXIn the illustration at right, the internal stove deflector plate (shown in blue) can be removed to allow a cleaning brush to be pushed up as far as the Tee. Make sure you have this facility since the section of pipe between the stove and chimney is always the first part to clog up with soot.
