CLEARANCES
All Masport heaters are tested to New Zealand and
Australian standards. Clearances are for fire
hazard only. Wall surfaces directly above the
heater may reach 85 degrees C, so materials such
as wallpaper and water-based paints may be
adversely affected. For durability of finishes and
surfaces you should contact the relevant
manufacturer for their specification. Masport
accepts no responsibility for the deterioration of
surfaces or finishes.
MASONRY FIREPLACES
The minimum masonry fireplace recess for Masport
Inbuilt Gasfires is shown in the following diagram.
The fireplace recess must have a non-metallic heat
resistant surround (e.g. masonry) extending at least
520mm each side of the recess centerline and up at
least to the mantel above the fireplace recess.
Measure the fireplace recess and remove bricks as
necessary to accept the firebox outer case. Clear away
any loose rubble and inspect before installing the
fireplace.
The base of the fireplace must be levelled, by for
example grouting, to prevent vibration from possible
fan imbalance.
For shallow fireplace recesses an optional deep fascia
is available which reduces the 490mm requirement to
390mm.
NON MASONRY FIREPLACE
INSTALLATIONS (Zero Clearance)
A Zero Clearance Kit is available which allows
installation when no masonry fireplace is available.
