3.4 Floor Protector Requirements
Cromwell burner can be installed on any non-combustible ash floor protector with minimum dimensions given on
page 4 if this manual. Please note that the dimensions given are minimum and we recommend using slightly
larger floor protector size.
Please note that the Cromwell burner is heavy having total weight of 155 Kg. The floor and the materials used as
floor protector should be strong enough to bear this load. The minimum requirements for material to be used as
floor protectors on a combustible material are
-
6mm fibre cement board (e.g. Hardies Tile & Slate Underlay) plus 8mm ceramic tiles on a firm base.
-
4mm mild steel floor protector supplied by Glen Dimplex
-
Or equivalent.
3.5 Seismic Restraint
Cromwell burner must be seismically restrained, including the floor protector. The Fig 3.5.1 gives the holes that
can be pre-drilled on the floor protector with respect to flue centre. We recommend a minimum 8mm DynaBolts
on concrete floor or 8mm coach screws or toggle fasteners for wooden floors of appropriate length.
