3. Mounting and installation
21
Mount the grills at a distance of at least 30 cm from the ceiling
or wall. Ensure there are no flammable materials closer than 30
cm next to and 50 cm above the gratings.
Heat storage/radiation system
If installing a heat storage/radiation system, the external elements
surrounding the fire must be made of materials that are resistant to high
temperatures and capable of drawing in and releasing heat. Heat
distribution plates, in chamotte fireclay or similar materials, are adapted
for this type of use. Any constructed elements surrounding the fireplace
insert, such as the ceiling, floor and walls, need to be insulated. The
insulation should be 10-cm thick for combustible materials and 6-cm thick
for non-combustible materials. The wall behind the insulation should be
made of stone, brick, chalk or porous concrete at least 12.5 cm in
thickness. A gap should be left between the fireplace insert and the
external elements, allowing the air in this space to heat up and then be
transferred via the surface materials.
It is possible to combine the fireplace’s hot air outlets with the heat
storage/radiation system in the installation. The standards that apply to
heat-storage fires must be respected for this type of combined installation
in order to comply with fire regulations.
In heat storage/radiation installations, the convection hood should remain
mounted on the Heat Pure.
The maximum wood amount (indicated in kg/hour) must
be respected to avoid overheating the installation. See
the table on page 42 of this User’s Guide.
