The list below is things you should NEVER do when fitting a cast iron stove. They are not only against building regulations and HETAS guidelines - but could seriously put your health / life at risk.
HORIZONTAL FLUE PIPE ....NEVER fit more than 150mm horizontal pipe coming out the back of a stove. Flue gasses rise upwards and in a spiral. Forcing them along horizontal flue pipe means they cannot rise properly and you are also putting yourself at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning as your chimney won't be able to draw as well as it should.
The rear outlet on the back of the stove is NOT for fitting a horizontal pipe. It's there so you can fit a 45 deg bend and pass though a wall - fitting a 135deg tee on the outside with cleaning access. The other reason for rear outlet is for the fitting of a tee piece and soot box to run the pipe vertical behind the stove and up a flue liner
90 deg ELBOW / BEND
