(Building Provisions cont.)
As shown on Figure # 5, the 33” minimum height requirement, is the minimum opening requirement to
be able to slide the unit into an already-built non-combustible enclosure.
This requirement is not necessary if the non-combustible enclosure is built around the unit with materi-
als such as with brick and mortar.
When covering up the front of the BIA Hood with non-combustible materials, it is recommended that a
total thickness of the backing board and fascia material does not exceed 1/2” thickness in order to
leave the vertical columns and top of the ALF-PZA oven opening exposed. (See Figure # 6)
The BIA Hood is made with a double wall design. Installation of screws around the sides to support
masonry backing materials is allowed. We recommend using stainless screws when doing so.
When designing the built in enclosure, non-
combustible, weather proof materials must be
used on all sides. Additional rain proofing is
strongly recommended on the top section of the
built in enclosure as to have a complete weather
tight assembly around all areas, including but not
limited to the vent flue design. (See Figure # 7)
It is highly recommended to install access doors
below the ALF-PZA unit when designing the built
in construction. (such as Alfresco’s AB Doors).
The access is required for piping (LP or NG) shut
off valves, electrical supply and equipment mainte-
nance and cleaning as stated on page 3.
NOTE: Additional consideration must be made to
ventilation under the unit. The construction below
the Pizza oven must have proper air circulation in
order to have proper gas combustion. The bottom
section of the built-in enclosure must have a mini-
mum of 1 Sq.Ft. of standard building construction
vents to provide ample air circulation.
