in accordance with local building regulations. If installed on a
combustible floor, floor protection must be provided in the form of
a non-combustible material to the minimum specifications described
in the ‘minimum distances to combustibles’ section (pages 13 - 15)
When the fire door is open, it extends beyond the flat front of the
stove by 436mm.
If in doubt as to the positioning of the stove, expert advice should be
sought either from the supplier or the local building inspector. The
fireplace must allow good circulation of air around the appliance to
ensure that maximum heat is transferred to the room and also to
prevent the fireplace from overheating. A gap of 150mm (6”) each
side and 300mm (12”) above the appliance should give sufficient air
circulation. If a wooden mantelpiece or beam is used in the fireplace
it should be a minimum of 460mm (18”), and preferably 600mm
(24”) from the appliance. In some situations it may be necessary to
shield the beam or mantelpiece to protect it.
The appliance should be installed on a floor with adequate load-
bearing capacity. If an existing construction does not meet this
requirement then please take suitable measures to achieve this. (e.g.
load distributing plate.)
CONNECTIONS TO FLUES
The Bay BX must be connected to the flue using flue pipe of 150mm
(6”) diameter : and is tested for both Air Cooled triple Skin Flue
Kits & Room Seal Insulated flue Kits that have been tested to AS/
NZS2918:2018
Horizontal lengths of flue must be kept to a minimum and should not
be more in length than the flue diameter.
PRE LIGHTING CHECK
Ensure that the baffle and upper baffle is fitted in the roof of the
appliance. For location and positioning see Fig. 3.
Check that the front fence is fitted correctly and that the door closes
properly.
COMMISSIONING
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for
the fire cement and mortar to dry out before lighting the fire. Make
a layer of ash or sand on the base of the stove before lighting. Check
to ensure that smoke and fumes are taken from the appliance up the
flue and emitted safely. Also check all joints and seals. On completion
of the installation and commissioning please leave the operating
instructions with the customer and advise them on the use of the
appliance.
STAND OPTIONS
The Bay BX is available with 3 stand options; store stand, bench
stand and centre stand.
When placing the Bay BX on any of the stand options the outer
casing should sit on the Table Top Plinth (part number JT035). The
table top plinth is provided as standard with all Bay BX models.
In the case of the centre stand (part number JT034) the bolts that
would have been used as levelling feet in the bottom of the plinth are
used to attach the stand to the stove. Instructions on how to fit the
centre stand are provided in sheet TIS129 on page 12
