The charm of a wood burning stove is timeless. It evokes images of warm, cosy evenings and sounds of crackling wood. Essential to the safe operation of the stove is its ventilation system. Without an adequate air supply, there is a risk of incomplete combustion, which could lead to health hazards such as carbon monoxide and smoke leaks. However, it’s not uncommon for stove retailers and installers to encounter resistance from a customer about a stove vent, worried it will let in draughts and cause heat loss.
Many modern stoves offer a solution to this problem with a direct air intake feature, typically located at the back of the stove. This allows the attachment of a direct air kit, which draws combustion air directly from the outside rather than from the room where the appliance is located. When professionally fitted and sealed by a HETAS registered installer, a direct ventilation kit provides a reliable source of airflow to the stove while keeping draughts and heat loss to a minimum.
Rytons offers Direct Ventilation Kits in three ducting sizes: 82mm, 100mm, and 125mm diameter, which fit the most common direct air inlet attachments. For quick and efficient installation, each Rytons Direct Ventilation Kit comes with an external grille (available in a range of colours), 1.5m of semi-rigid aluminium ducting, and two adjustable metal hose clips. As a manufacturer, we offer the kits at competitive prices and from stock for next working day delivery.
