Manual Handling
Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read the following guide to manual handling.

  • Always obtain assistance when lifting
  • When lifting always keep your back straight
  • Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
  • Avoid upper body/top heavy bending. Do not
  • Always grip with the palms of your hands do not use your fingertips for support, use gloves for a better grip
  • Always keep the stove close to the body as this will minimize the cantilever action.

Hearths should be constructed from suitably robust materials & to appropriate dimensions. (fig.1)

A way of making provision would be to adopt the guidelines outlined below & to provide a hearth appropriate to the temperatures that the appliance can create around it.
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the appliance & it’s chimney if the chimney is not independently supported. Consult a structural engineer for advice before proceeding.
If there is no existing fireplace or chimney it is possible to construct a suitable non-combustible housing and hearth setting. The flue must be installed in accordance with all local and national regulations and current rules in force.
Check if adding a new chimney to your property requires planning permission.

The Stove should be installed on:
B. Constructional hearths in accordance with the guidelines outlined. (fig.2)
Constructional Hearths should have dimensions as outlined in figure 1 above.
They should be made of solid, non-combustible such as concrete or masonry, at least 125mm thick, including the thickness of any non-combustible floor and/or decorative surface.

fig.2 Non Combustible Hearth surrounding Solid Fuel Appliance

fig.3. Ways of Providing Hearths

Ventilation

This appliance requires a constant supply of air to maintain proper combustion and effective flue performance.
An inadequate air supply can result in poor combustion and smoke entering the room which is potentially dangerous.
An Extrernal Air inlet must be fitted for this stove.
The amount of air required must comply with local building regulations and the rules in force.

EXTERNAL AIR
External air Inlet must be fitted for this stove

Chimney

Please refer to the current issues of British Standards BS EN 15287-1:2007 – design, installation and commissioning of chimneys before commencing installation
The chimney draw is critical on any installation and should be checked to ensure that it matches what is specified. If the draw is higher than recommended, we advise that provision must be made to correct the overdraw. The draw can vary in different weather conditions and the customer should be made aware of this. Failure to correct an over-drawing flue will invalidate the warranty, and may damage the appliance.
Please remember that chimney draught is dependent on four main factors.

  • Flue gas temperature
  • Flue height
  • Flue size
  • Flue terminal

The flue or chimney system must be in good condition. It must be inspected by a HETAS Qualified Installer and passed for use with
the appliance before installation. Products of combustion entering the room can cause serious health risks.

The following must be checked:

  • The construction of the masonry chimneys, flue block chimneys & connecting flue pipe system must meet requirements of the Building Regulations.

We recommend a flexible flue liner system certified for use with solid fuel systems be used to improve stove performance. The flue liner must be removed when an appliance is replaced, unless proven to be recently installed and in good condition.
If it is necessary to fit a register plate it must conform to the Building Regulations.

  • The minimum height of the flue or chimney must be 4.5m from the hearth to the top of the flue, with no horizontal sections & a maximum of 4 bends. Bends must have angles of less than 45 degrees from the vertical.

Ensure the connecting flue pipe is kept a suitable distance from any combustible material and does not form part of the supporting structure of the building.
Make provision to remove the appliance without the need to dismantle the chimney.
Any existing flue must be confirmed as suitable for the new intended use as defined in the Building Regulations.
The flue or chimney systems must be inspected and swept to confirm the system is structurally sound and free from obstructions.
If the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire it must be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation to clear any soot falls that may have occurred due to difference in combustion levels.
The flue exit from the building must comply with local building control rules.
Do not connect or share the flue or chimney system with another heating appliance.
Do not connect to systems containing large voids or spaces over 230mm square.
Suitable access must be provided to enable the collection and removal of debris.
The flue must be swept and inspected when the appliance is installed.
The flue draught must be checked with all windows and doors closed and any extraction fans in this, or adjoining rooms, running at maximum speed (see next section for additional ventilation requirements).

  • Max. draught = 2.0mm Wg,
  • Min. draught = 1.0mm Wg

WARNING
Under no circumstances should this appliance be connected to a shared flue system, that serves any other heating appliance.

External Air
An extrernal Air inlet must be fitted for this stove. The air duct is fitted onto the stove around the air inlet and is fed from the supply tube on the rear face of the duct assembly.
The flexible piping should be taken directly to an external wall, avoiding sharp bends or excessive direction changes.
The piping should be terminated at the wall and be fitted with a suitable grill to prevent blockages by leaves and other debris.

Stove Installation Requirements

When Installing a Henley Insert Stove there are a number of considerations to be taken into account before commencing installation.
When the stove is installed in a masonry chimney, there has to be a minimum distance of 20mm above & at the sides when the stove frame is removed.
This is to allow for expansion due to heating of the stove.
Failure to follow this recommendation will render Warranty Null & Void.
We would recommend to make the opening much larger in a masonry chimney & to close the space by using a metal stud frame & high temperature fire-board (see diagram opposite) This space is required the allow for thermal expansion when stove is lit.
Henley Stoves cannot guarantee that some finishes will not discolor with heat and that non-recommended materials or lower quality products will not distort, or crack when used.
In order to prevent excessive heat build in the chimney breast, manufacturer’s guidelines should be followed in relation to adequate distances being adhered to regarding distance from stove to adjacent surfaces To further prevent excessive heat build up, Henley Stoves recommend that a hole be drilled into the wall at the side of the chimney breast to let trapped heat escape. (see diagram opposite) This trapped heat can cause cracks and other damage to the area surrounding your stove.
If you are in any doubt about any aspect of these the installation requirements, or suitability of construction materials, please consult your Henley Stoves stockiest or a HETAS Approved Registered Installer.
The opening where you intend to install your new stove should be constructed from non-combustible materials which remain stable at high temperatures and comply with local and national building regulations.
Examples of typical non-combustible materials include; aerated concrete, vermiculite & calcium silicate.
Should the finish of the surrounding area be smooth plaster, considerations should be given to the conducted and convicted heat emitted by the stove. These high temperatures can be high enough to crack and distort normal gypsum based plaster.

HENLEY-STOVES-ECO-C550-Cassette-Room-Heater-Stoves-14

HENLEY-STOVES-ECO-C550-Cassette-Room-Heater-Stoves-15

Construction Materials

It is possible for the exterior of the stove to reach temperatures of up to 300°C / 149°F and for the flue to reach even higher temperatures.
Therefore construction materials should be not be in direct contact with the stove and should be given at least 25mm / 1 inch distance from the stove which will allow for thermal expansion. This expansion occurs naturally during the heating and cooling of the stove.
Henley stoves recommended that a high temperature plaster which does not contain any gypsum is used.
After applying new plaster, it should be given adequate time to fully dry. Failure the allow the plaster time to fully dry can result in cracking. Alternatively the area surrounding the stove can be faced with a suitable high temperature plasterboard.
As well as using high temperature plaster / plasterboard, the area surrounding the stove can also be dressed using granite, ceramic or porcelain tiles.
If stone / granite / marble or any other natural material is used to construct the fire surround, or any part of it, considerations should be made for expansion and movement of the parts due to heating and cooling of the stove and surrounding areas.

The Clean Air Act 1993 & Smoke Control Areas

Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area.
It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area.
It is also an offence to acquire an “unauthorized fuel” for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in an “exempt” appliance (“exempted” from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance with changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015.
Similarly in Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scottish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.
In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under Section 16 of the Environmental Better regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016.
In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations made by Welsh Ministers.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements.

Combustible Materials
Safe distances to combustible materials for the ECO C550 should be a minimum of 20cm to the sides, 125cm to Front and 60cm above stove.
The stove should be placed in a non combustible hearth with a distance of 600mm to the top (non-combustible wooden mantle top recommended)
Adjacent walls should be of suitable non combustible construction, preferably brickwork.
In large fireplaces take care that any supporting beam is protected by a 13mm (0.5”) thick sheet of Masterboard / Supalux spaced 13mm (0.5”) off the surface with strips of non-combustible material.
Make sure that there is a gap between an un-insulated flue system and any combustible material. This gap must be at least 3x the outside diameter of the flue pipe, or 1.5x the flue diameter to non-combustible surfaces.

Recommended Fuels (This stove is Wood Burning only)
Wood logs

  • Burn only seasoned timber with a moisture content of less than 20%. To ensure this allow cut wood to dry for 12 to 18 months.
    Poor quality timber causes low combustion efficiency, produces harmful condensation, reduces effectiveness of the airwash and life of the appliance.

Lighting the Stove

We recommend that you have two or three small fires before you operate your stove to its maxi-mum heat output.
This is to allow the paint to cure in steadily and to give a long service life of the paint finish. During this curing in process you may notice an un- pleasant smell whilst the finishes finally cure. It is non-toxic, but for your comfort we would suggest that during this period you leave all doors and windows open.
First, open the primary and secondary air wash control fully. Load the firebox with plenty of start-ing fuel, i.e. paper, dry sticks and/or firelighters.
Light the fire at the base leaving the primary and secondary air control fully open. Leave the door slightly ajar for 10 minutes to enhance initial starting and reduce smoke emission – DO NOT leave the stove unattended if the door is left ajar.
Allow the fuel to reach a steady glow and build the fire up gradually by adding a few small sticks or well split logs at a time. Once you have a good fire bed established across the grate, further fuel can be added step by step as required.
Don’t be tempted to overload the fire bed with fuel all at once or close down the air controls too much until the fire is really well established for some time.
Once the ignition period is well under way close the primary air and gradually reduce the sec-ondary air wash control opening to establish the burning intensity you require (usually open 25% approx.).

Refueling the Stove

When burning wood, the fire will die down as the fuel is consumed. When the flames disappear and the remainder is breaking down into glowing embers it is an appropriate time to consider refueling.
Note: If the flames disappear and there are still lumps of solid wood left this indicates excessive moisture in the wood or insufficient air supply/flue draught.
Note: To eliminate unwanted smoke emission, after loading new logs on to the fire, open the air wash control up fully for 1-2 minutes to boost the fire and get flames issuing from the top of the fuel as soon as possible. When flames are well established, reduce the air wash to the running setting required.
Burning without flames above the fuel will create unnecessary smoke.
DO NOT load fuel above the tertiary air inlet holes at the back of the firebox.
Loading 1 to 2 medium sized logs will produce a good output with reasonable burn time, generally small logs will burn up quicker producing a high output for a short time and a large log will take longer to burn and produce less output over a given time.
This appliance is approved for intermittent operation on wood (0.75 to 1.5 hour burn cycles) although much longer burn times can be achieved by fully loading the firebox, getting the fuel burning well and then shutting the air controls down.
The fire will then often need reviving by first deashing and then using small pieces of wood and plenty of air to get flames issuing from the wood again.

When refueling the appliance it was necessary to leave the door ajar for a period of 1 – 2 minutes in order to sustain flames on the newly charged fuel load.
Directly after refueling it was necessary to operate with the secondary air fully open for a period 3 to 5 minutes before closing to the desired setting

Refueling on to a low fire-bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire-bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur.
Refueling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period.
If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke

Fuel Overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause excess smoke.

Operation with Door Left Open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the appliance door left open.

Dampers Left Open
Operation with the air controls or dampers open can cause excess smoke.
The appliance must not be operated with air controls or dampers door left open except as directed in the instructions.

Shutting Down Stove
The stove will normally shut down by itself as the fuel is consumed.
In order to shut down the stove for other reasons, close the primary air controls (if open), then close the secondary air control.
If the controls are left in this position, the fire will eventually burn out. If you want to revive the fire open the secondary air controls fully.

The stove will remain very hot for a considerable time after the fire has died down or been extinguished.
Petroleum coal fuels or household waste must not be burnt in this appliance

Maintenance: Baffle Plate
Inspect the inside of the firebox and above the baffle plate every week during use.
Only use manufacturers recommended replacement parts on the appliance.

Maintenance: Chimney Sweeping
Sweeping should be carried out with the correct size brush and rods to suit the chimney size and type.
As with all appliances regular sweeping of the flue is essential to avoid the danger of a blockage and escape of poisonous fumes.
Access for cleaning should be incorporated into the chimney (e.g. soot door, access through the register plate etc.)  Any existing chimney should be swept prior to installation of the stove, and then again a second time within one month of regular use after installation to establish the frequency of sweeping required. This should be done by and competent person such as a NACS chimney engineer who will provide a Certificate of Chimney Sweeping.
Sweep the whole flue way, including the outlet at least twice a year per burning season.
It is important that the flue ways, flue pipe and chimney be cleaned prior to lighting the fire after a prolonged shut-down period.

Maintenance: Removing the Ashpan
The appliance will require ash to be removed periodically.
Ash may be removed with a small metal shovel whilst the fire is still alight, by raking the embers of a low fire to one side of the firebox and carefully removing the ash.
Repeating the procedure for the other side of the firebox. Care must be taken not to risk burning your hands or household objects from falling embers.
The ash pan should be emptied at least twice a day or when the ash reaches the top of the ash pan.
On no account should the ash be allowed to build up to touch the underside of the grate bars, as this will greatly reduce the life span of the grate.

Maintenance: Removing Fire Rope
Periodically visually check over the door rope seal for any damage, cuts or tears and detached sections.
The rope gasketing can be replaced, using a universal roping kit.
Instructions for rope replacement are as follows:

  • Ensure the appliance is cold
  • Unscrew the hinges and lift the door off the appliance and lay onto a flat surface with the rear face upwards
  • Carefully remove the old rope gasket and old adhesive.
  • Take note of the layout of the rope seal. Ensure no traces of the old adhesive or rust /flaky paint is present, as this will result in an unsound joint.
  • Apply the rope adhesive following the instructions on the bottle
  • Press the rope gasketing into the channel on the rear door casting, following the same layout as the old rope seal.
  • Just before the final end, cut the rope seal to length and glue into position.
  • Allow at least 30 minutes before refitting the door to the appliance.

Maintenance: Replacing Baffle Plate

Baffle Plate Location

Baffle Plate Example
Maintenance: Replacing Door Glass
In the event of the door glass being broken it can easily be replaced using the following procedure:

  • Ensure the appliance is cold.
  • Lift the door off the appliance and lay onto a flat surface with the rear face upwards.
  • Unscrew the four screw fixings securing the glass clips and remove both clips, and fixings.
  • Carefully remove any pieces of broken glass and sealing gasket. Wear suitable gloves for this procedure. Take note of the position and joint of the rope gasket.
  • Replace the rope gasket, remove the self adhesive backing on the rope as you go, start at the bottom of the window, centrally. Push the adhesive side of the rope into the grove on the rear of the door casting gradually work your way round until the ends of the rope meet.
  • Re-seat the new glass, ensuring the glass sits fully against the gasket.
  • Replace the four retaining clips and fixing screws. Do not over tighten the fixings as damage may occur to the glass.
  • Refit the door assembly back onto the stove, carefully lift the door over the hinge pins and slot into place.

Maintenance: Replacing Fuel Retainer

Lift fuel retainer clear of the supporting brackets.
Pull directly up to clear the sides of the door opening.
Do not use appliance without the fuel retainer in position.

Air Controls

Henley Stoves appliances have air systems providing cleaner burning, and greater efficiency and control. Please see diagram to view where the various air controls are located on your Henley Stove

  • Primary Air – Pulling out left lever on the bottom of stove opens the primary air and allows air into the stove. You would normally open this when starting a fire to allow air into the stove for maximum combustion.
  • Secondary & Tertiary Air – Pulling out the right lever opens the Secondary & Tertiary air and further compliments the cleanburn system as a third air intake. The air is drawn up the back of the stove via a series of chambers and is then injected into the back of the upper fire chamber through small steel jets. The jets of superhot air ignite the remainder of gases that will only burn off at very high temperatures.

DO NOT USE YOUR BARE HANDS
Stove Parts become very hot while the stove is running so should not be touched with bare hands. Special operating tools and or a glove are provided for operation of the hot stove.

DO NOT LEAVE AIR LEVERS / RODS
FULLY OPENED FOR LONG PERIODS.
We Recommend to Never Open More than 60%, As Extended Use of Stove at More than 60% Proficiency May Damage Stove.

Useful Information
Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit fumes into the room.

Occasional fumes from deashing and refueling may occur.
Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated.

If fume emission does persist:

  • Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.
  • Leave the room.
  • Allow fire to burn out and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
  • Check for chimney blockage and clean if required.
  • Do not attempt to relight until the cause of the emission has been identified and corrected
  • If necessary seek expert advice.
  • All open flued appliances can be affected by temporary atmospheric conditions which may allow fumes to enter the house.
  • Because of this an electronic carbon monoxide detector conforming to the latest edition of BSEN50291 must be fitted in the same room as the appliance.
  • The existence of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.
  • If the alarm sounds follow the instructions given under Warning above.

Stove Finish (Paint)

The outside of the stove is finished in a durable high temperature paint.
It is best cleaned by brushing down with a soft brush.
Do not allow water to remain on the surface where cold or rust may occur.
The high temperature paint finish should not require attention for some time, depending on use.
The hotter the fire is burned, the sooner repainting will be necessary.
Aerosol tins of paint are available for complete refurbishing from Henley Stoves.

Repainting Instructions:

  • Make sure the stove is out and cold
  • Remove door glass
  • Lightly brush the body of the stove with a wire brush & rub down with wire wool.This will remove any loose paint powder.
  • Mask or remove items such as brass work.
  • Adjacent brickwork, mantelpiece, hearth etc., should be carefully masked for quite a distance around the appliance. (this precaution is to prevent the discoloration of the surrounding brickwork, wallpaper etc).
  • Re-spray in a well ventilated area, avoid breathing the vapor. Refer to the safety instructions on the paint can.
  • When paint is dry refit door glass and any other parts previously removed.
  • Leave to dry for 8 hours and refit the door glass etc.
  • Burn slowly for the first 4 hours, then build up heat gradually to cure the paint.

USE ONLY GENUINE
HENLEY STOVES SPRAY PAINT as some paints interact and spoil the stove finish & will invalidate the warranty.

Chimney Fire & Over-firing

DO NOT OVER FIRE YOUR APPLIANCE. Over firing your stove will cause the paint to peel off your stove and is not covered in our warranty.
Using any flammable liquids, or too much fuel, or firing the stove at maximum for prolonged periods may result in over firing.
If the chimney connector or casing starts to glow red, the appliance is being over-fired.
This may result in a chimney fire.

If a Chimney Fire Occurs :

  • Call the Fire Service – Dial 999 or 112
  • Immediately close all of the air inlets to the appliance to reduce the air supply to the fire.
  • Move items of furniture and combustibles away from the stove to reduce the risk of a fire, and allow access for the fire service.
  • Ensure access to the loft space is available
  • Evacuate the property

NOTE: The Chimney fire may have caused structural damage to the chimney.
Do not use the stove again until the stove, chimney and connector have been inspected, and any damage parts have been repaired or replaced.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

Why are my air inlets puffing smoke?
Combustion gases can build up in the firebox and ignite as small explosions, causing smoke to puff out of the air inlets and other openings. This occurs if the air controls are shut soon after adding new fuel to a very hot fire. Stop by opening the air controls to increase combustion air and burning rate.

What is a flue draught?
The chimney has two main functions:

  1. To safely remove the smoke, gases and fumes from the house.
  2. To provide a sufficient amount of draught (suction) in the appliance ensuring the fire keeps burning.

Draught is caused by the rising hot air in the chimney when the appliance is lit.
Symptoms of poor performance related to flue draught include:

  • Excessive fuel consumption (high flue draught).
  • Poor burning control and/or overheating (high flue draught).
  • Difficulty getting a fire going and keeping it burning well (low flue draught).
  • Low heat output (low flue draught).
  • Smoke entering room when doors are opened (low flue draught).
  • The construction, position, size and height of the chimney all affect the performance of the flue draught.
  • Other factors effecting the flue draught include nearby trees or buildings causing turbulence.
  • We suggest installing a chimney cowl or anti-downdraught cowl if you are experiencing issues with draught in your chimney.
  • Please note issues with flue draught is out of the control of Henley Stoves and does not warrant a service call.
  • We recommend you contact a chimney specialist if the addition of a cowl does not resolve a flue draught issue.

Why is there no heat from my stove?

  • If your stove is installed in an alcove, you need to cap off the area directly above the stove by installing a 3mm mild steel plinth with insulation to prevent the heat from escaping.
  • If the fire continues to consume large amounts of fuel you may need to check the baffle plate is fitted correctly and also if there is too much of a draw up the chimney.
  • A simple test would be to open the door of the stove when it is not lighting and listen to see if you can hear wind in the chimney. If so this means you will need to install a damper in the flue to prevent the up draught. We recommend you contact a piping specialist and install an anti-up draught cowl.

I’m finding it very hard to light a fire in my stove? Why is this?
In some houses there may not be sufficient ventilation in the room for the fire to light effectively. You may need an additional air vent in the room to use the stove efficiently.
There is smoke coming out of the stove when I light it, why is this?

  • To ensure maximum efficiency and to prevent the stove from smoking, the pipe at the back to the stove must be max 150mm before the 45 degree bend in the pipe, otherwise the smoke will not be able to escape up the chimney.
  • Stoves that are installed in flat roof houses or extensions may have this issue due to the structure of the building.
    It may also be because the chimney of your house is lower than the highest point of your roof which causes the wind to funnel down the chimney.
    We recommend you install a rotary cowl to resolve the issue. We recommend you get your stove installed by a professional.

Why is the glass on the door of my stove dirty?
Simply open the airwash and pull the lever to the open position and open the primary.
The airwash is normally located above the door of the stove.
The glass will become visibly clean.
Please note the glass with become visibly dirty when the fire stops.

My grate has already burned out, why is this?
Not cleaning the grate after every fire will result in the grate burring out prematurely.

How often should I clean my chimney?
The chimney and the connecting flue pipe must be swept at least once a year. Ensure you remove any deposits from the oscillating grates, the firebox surfaces and the flue collar. We recommend you clean your chimney twice a year.

Annual Service
Before the start of the heating season strip, inspect and clean the appliance using the following instructions:

  • Remove all internal parts: baffle, log guard and firebricks.
  • Take care handling firebricks as they can become fragile after a period of use.
  • Check and clean the firebricks with a soft brush.
  • Some surface damage will occur during use. The life of the bricks will depend on the type of fuels burnt and the level of use.
  • Replace damaged bricks as soon as possible.
  • Re-fit cleaned internal parts.
  • On printed glass surfaces, use Glass Cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners to remove tar or soot deposits from the glass.
  • Fit new door rope seal
  • Lightly oil the door catch mechanism and hinge pins. Avoid getting oil onto the door seals and glass.

Seasonal Use

Remove the baffle and inspect the inside of the stove and the flue ways and ensure they are 100% clear after a period of disuse, for example if the stove is not used during the warmer periods of the year. Also set the air controls half open to keep the appliance ventilated and stop the build-up of any moisture inside.

Ventilation
According to Building Regulations 2014 for Heat Producing Appliances, Any room or space containing an appliance should have a ventilation opening
(or openings) of at least the size shown below For appliances designed to burn a range of different solid fuels the air supply should be designed to accommodate burning the fuel that produces the highest heating output.

Air Supply to Non-Room
Sealed Solid Fuel Appliances
Open Flue Solid Fuel Appliances should have a permanent ventilation opening of free area of at least:

  • 6,500 mm² where air permeability is greater than 5.0 m³/(hr.m2), or
  • 6,500 mm² + 550 mm² per kW of rated output above 5 kW where air permeability is less than 5.0 m³/(hr.m2).

Note:
It is unlikely that dwellings built prior to 2008 would have an air permeability of less than 5m3/(hr.m2), at 50 Pa unless extensive air tightness measures have been carried out

Boiler Stoves – Installation & Maintenance

  • Henley Stoves advise that you consult with a heating specialist to determine the correct size & BTU’s for your heating requirements, before you install a Boiler Stove.
  • We strongly recommend that our stoves are plumbed independently. We do not advise you use a dual system which incorporates both oil & solid fuel, running at the same time. In our experience this system does not work.
  • If you are experiencing an issue with the plumbing such as no hot water being pushed to the radiators or a low heat output to the room, Henley Stoves can only offer advice.
  • Henley Stoves can recommend a name of an independent service engineer to determine if there is an issue with the stove or the plumbing.
  • The service engineer will provide a detailed report outlining any issues (if any) at a cost to you for €450 (this fee may vary depending on location) which is pri or to any inspection. Once a report is received from a qualified engineer, Henley Stoves will asses & make a decision based on the report’s results.
  • We strongly recommend only qualified HETAS / METAC approved plumber installers as unqualified installers will void your warranty.
  • Failure to fit a rain-cap will cause water to come down chimney & pool on top of stove. This will cause severe corrosion & has in our experience been a leading cause in Boiler Stoves leaking.
  • If we find the stove has been flued out the top with no rain cap fitted, the warranty is null & void.
  • We also require proof of maintenance and/or detailed service record in order for warranty to be valid.
  • Henley Stoves can only replace a Boiler stove found with a leak after it has been delivered to our warehouse for a forensic examination. After examining we will determine if the stove should be replaced or not.
  • We will not cover any additional costs of plumbing or labour.

Insert Boiler Stoves

  • Insert Boiler Stoves are primarily designed to heat water to radiators.
  • In some cases if the stove is running too many radiators, the heat output can vary from 2kW to 5kW heat output to the room.
  • We strongly recommend that a radiator is fitted in the room where the stove is installed, to maximize heat output to the room.
  • If you are experiencing an issue when refueling the stove, i.e. smoke spilling back into the room, in our experience this is caused by the stove being fitted in a bungalow or chimney stack is too low.
  • You will need to contact a chimney specialist to rectify this problem. Henley Stoves can only offer advice.
