POINTS TO CONSIDER PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Location of the fire. Open fires are better located at one end of a room or area, as they project the heat away from their opening.
Venting to the cavity.
This air is to allow the cavity to vent the warm air. This warm air helps keep the fire and flue system form getting to cold. If the flue
and fire get to cold the system may soot often and require cleaning. Each fire has different ways of venting the cavity.
The Topography of the land .
The slope and position of the land in relation to the home has a bearing on how the wind will interact with the fire and flue system.
Care needs to be taken to ensure that the flue termination is in the correct position to maximise performance.
The prevailing wind.
Care needs to be taken to ensure that the flue termination is in the correct position as wind and gusts that hits the flue and cowl
system may overcome the cowl and draft back down the flue into the home. This can be a combination of down draft and high
pressure.
Hearth and plinth:
The height of the hearth off the floor. The finishing that is to be used on the hearth is to be allowed for at the design stage.
Positioning of the Flue system:
There is a maximum distance that an offset flue can be installed. Reference to AS/NZS : 2918
Flue And Fire Clearance:
To be maintained to the manufactures Instructions.
Installation Notes:
A rebate of 40mm is recommended from the front face of the surround to the front of the fire to reduce the ingress of water into
the fire.
Due to the expansion and contraction of metal fireplaces a 3mm gap between the flange and the finished surround should be maintained.
