•
The hearth must protrude at least 150 mm in front of
the stove and 150 mm each side.
•
The hearth must not be capable of inadvertent
covering by a carpet or rug. This should be achieved
by either :
-
the hearth being 50 mm above the level of the room
floor.
-
a fender or kerb around the edge of the hearth to a
height of at least 50 mm above the floor.
2.2. Flue connection
The Belfort is suitable for both Class 1 and 2 flues (the
building Regulations 1984).
The appliance is also suitable for pre-cast flues,
pre-cast chimney block, pre-cast flue block and ridge
tile vent.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
flue to be connected is suitable for the conditions
experienced when burning natural.
Ideally it is recommended that a minimum height of
610 mm from the stove should be established before
any significant change in the direction of the flue.
Horizontal or negative gradients in the flue pipe should
be avoided.
It is recommended that the flue has a minimum height
of 3 metres. Prior to installation the installer should
ensure that the flue is free from obstruction and ideally
a chimney should be swept and subsequently smoke
tested. Ensure that any dampers are fixed in a
permanently open position, and that the chimney/flue
is, in the professional opinion of the installer, of an
overall suitability for the purpose intended.
The stove is supplied with a connection flue spigot with
an inner diameter of 125 mm or an outer diameter of
139 mm.

8 mm olive supplied. Support the control whilst finally
tightening the supply pipe. The gas supply to the fire
should be terminated near the fireplace with a safety
