What model version stove do I have?

Below are some pointers to help you identify the model and version of stove you have:

Within the Hunter Herald range we have a number of models, and also a number of versions, MK1, MKII, CE CEVII.

FREESTANDING ROOM HEATERS:

1. How many grate bars do you have in your stove:

7 = Hawk 3
9 = Hawk 4
11 = Herald 4 or Low Output Inglenook
13 = Kestrel 5, Herald 5 Slimline or Herald 6
17 = Herald 8 Slimline, Herald 8, Herald 14 or High Output Inglenook

2. Do you have a 2 door stove or 1 door stove?

If a 1 door go to number 3
If a 2 door go to number 4

3. If a 1 door, what size is your glass?

236 x 207mm = Hawk 3 or 4 Traditional
245 x 245mm = Hawk 3 or 4 Contemporary
362 x 214mm = Kestrel 5
298 x 210mm = Compact 5, Herald 4
364 x 209mm = Herald 5 Slimline or Herald 6
466 x 230mm = Herald 8 Slimline, Herald 8, Herald 14, Inglenook Low Output or Inglenook High Output

4. If a 2 door stove, is your glass rectangle or shaped? If rectangle it is most likely you have aMK1 version: (Please check type of bricks to be sure)(Please see No 5)

192 x 138mm = Herald 4
203 x 168mm = Herald 5, Herald 5 Slimline, Herald 7 or Herald 6
225 x 214mm = Herald 8 Slimline, Herald 8, Herald 14, Inglenook Low Output If shaped then you have a MKII, CE or CEVII
218 x 151mm – Compact 5 or Herald 4
217 x 183mm – Herald 5 Slimline or Herald 6
245 x 230mm – Herald 8 Slimline, Herald 8, Herald 14, Inglenook Low Output Inglenook High Output
313 x 253mm – Hunter 80B

5. Bricks – Side Bricks – Are they rectangle?

YES – You have a MK1
NO, then you have a MKII, CE or CEVII

How to identify whether you have a MKII, CE or CEVII:

1. Do you have a Turbo Bar? (this is a bar that has small pin holes, runs the width of the stove above the rear firebrick)

If NO then you have a MKII
If YES you have either a CE or CEVII

2. Is the baffle plate a flat steel plate or a large plate shaped like a roof?

Flat Steel only Plate = You have a CE Version (go to No.3)
Shaped like a roof = You have a CEVII Version

3. If you have a CE, the last thing to identify is whether you have retained Side Plates or simple side plates:

Retained – the side bricks sit on a ledge on the side plate and run up.
Simple – the side bricks sit directly behind the side plate and run from the base of the stove up.

4. If you have a CEVII then you will have simple side plates.

NB (In 2006, due to ‘CE’ Approval the grate bars were changed slightly. This resulted in the length of the High Bars being reduced and also the patten changed. Although the ‘New Bars’ will fit the old MK1 models they will NOT fit alongside the old bars and therefore a full set will be required.)

If you are unsure whether you have the New Bars or Old Bars please check the drawings to confirm measurements.

FREE STANDING CENTRAL HEATING STOVES:

1. How many grate bars do you have in your stove:

17 = Herald 8 or Herald 14
19 = Hunter 80B

2. If either a Herald 8 or Herald 14, where are the door hinges located?

Big chunky hinges that are bolted on the side of the stove and wrap around = Herald 8
Small and bolted to the face of the stove = Herald 14
How to identify what version you have:

3. Do you have rectangle glass or shaped glass;

Rectangle = Old Doors MK1 or CE
Shaped = New Doors CE or CEVII

4. Was your original Baffle/Throat plate made of vermiculite material:

Yes = CE
No = MK1 or CEVII

5. Is your baffle a flat steel plate with one bend in it? and does it sit on 2 lugs at the front and a welded retainer at the back of the stove?

Yes = MK1
No = CE or CEVII

6. If the baffle sits on runners either side and is flat or shaped like a roof, you have:

Flat = CE
Roof Shaped = CEVII
NB (In 2006, due to ‘CE’ Approval the grate bars were changed slightly. This resulted in the length of the High Bars being reduced and also the patten changed. Although the ‘New Bars’ will fit the old MK1 models they will NOT fit alongside the old bars and therefore a full set will be required.)

If you are unsure whether you have the New Bars or Old Bars please check the drawings to confirm measurements.
