CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
The dimensions given in the table and image below represent
the minimum clearance (in millimetres) to combustible
materials, such as a mantelpiece with columns, when installed
in a non-combustible fireplace.
Description
Clearance
A (Width between mantelpiece columns)
1335
B (Height to mantelpiece from hearth)
1400
C (Height to mantelpiece from appliance)
750
D (Distance to side wall)
550
Note – mantelpiece clearance can be reduced by installing a
heat shield beneath it in accordance with AS/NZS 2918.
4.2.
FLOOR PROTECTOR (HEARTH)
The minimum dimensions and construction materials for the
floor protector when installed in a masonry fireplace are the
same as for a Built-In installation. Refer to section 3.4 Floor
Protector (Hearth) for details.
4.3.
INSTALLING THE FLUE
If the appliance is installed in a masonry fireplace with
masonry chimney, the flue must be installed in accordance
with AS/NZS 2918.
If the chimney is not masonry and is constructed wholly or
partly from combustible material, it must be installed with the
manufacturer-supplied Built-In flue kit.
Any gaps between the 8 inch active flue and the flue spigot on
the appliance should be filled with either stove cement
designed for this purpose or high temperature cloth tape.
