Stûv μM - installation [en] - 0312
Combustion air inlet
The stove requires air for combustion.
Drawing of air from outside
The Stûv 16-in is designed to be
directly connected to an outside air
inlet (independent of the air in the
house). This configuration - which
we recommend - guarantees good
operation regardless of the degree
of air-tightness in the building or
the pressure variations in the house
due to a kitchen hood or controlled
mechanical ventilation, for example.
The air drawn into this inlet should
preferably come from a ventilated
crawl space, a ventilated room
(cellar) or directly from the outside
(compulsory in certain countries). In
the latter case, take measures against
the risk of condensation.
The duct carrying this air...
...will be protected on the outside
by a grill [diagram1] the free
passage section of which is at least
equivalent to the section of the air
inlet: Ø63mm. Please note that the
infiltration of water and the effect of
the wind can damage the system.
...will be as short as possible to
prevent pressure loss and to prevent
making the house cold.
With our flexible standard duct
(Ø6.3cm), we recommend a
maximum length of 1,5m and
no more than 3bends. If you
exceed these guidelines, you must
compensate with a greater diameter
and/or a smoother duct.
Careful not to crush the flue.
PREPARATION OF THE AREA
Drawing of air from the room
If the stove is not connected directly
to an outside air inlet, a sufficient air
inlet (approximately 100 cm2) should
ideally be created close to the stove.
Air can be drawn from the room: via
an air inlet from a space left under the
stove [diagram 2]
Even though this configuration is
not ideal, it is possible to draw both
combustion and convection air from
the base of the stove.
Ensure the configuration chosen fully
meets local and national regulations.
