Non-Combustible Materials
All stoves will require adequate distance between
them & any non-combustible material to allow
for both Installation & servicing, as well room
for convection in order for the stove to operate
correctly.
Recommended safe distances
to non-combustible materials should be 50mm
to Rear & 50mm to Sides.
Please Note:
If the non combustible surface is less than
200mm thick,
additional clearances to these surfaces may be
required.
Use Diagram Above for Reference with
Distances Outlined Belowed :
(A). = Dist. to non combustible wall
(B). = Min. thickness of non-combustible
wall
• Where
(A)
distance =
50mm
(B)
minimum thickness should be
200mm
.
• Where
(A)
distance =
51mm to 300mm
(B)
minimum thickness should be
75mm
.
• Where
(A)
distance =
over 300mm
no
requirement for
(B)
thickness
External Air
The external air supply allows the stove to be
installed in a room that may otherwise be sealed
to an extent that would prohibit the correct and
safe burning of a wood stove.
This would also apply to new builds in general
which are sealed to a very high level to meet
various energy efficiency targets.
The air duct is fitted onto the stove around the air
inlet control 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 of 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.
