13.3 - CLEARANCES TO SHELVES & COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
a.
We do not recommend the use of a combustible shelf in this application.
b.
We do not recommend the use of a non-combustible shelf in this application other than the non combustible shelf / lip mentioned
in section 13.6 page 20.*
c.
Any combustible sidewall must be at least 500mm from the inside of the builders/fireplace opening.
d.
With all heating appliances, soft furnishings, decorations and wall coverings may discolour or scorch if placed too close.
e.
No combustible material, e.g. curtains must be closer than 500mm to the fireplace enclosure.
*The wall between the upper slip and any additional shelf spaced above the slip would become hot. Therefore, we do not
recommend any shelves space away from the slips.
13.4 – CUTTING THE HOLE FOR THE FLUE
The flue is 150mm in diameter, and a hole is required providing sufficient clearance. The following Notes will assist:
a.
If cutting the hole with a core drill ensure the pilot hole is cutting into solid material as it may wander.
b.
Partially drill or cut out the hole and then check the fit of the flue before finishing.
c.
Ensure the hole is horizontal, round and straight.
d.
Make good the hole on both the inside and outside (a Wall Plate is provided for the outside).
e.
Any Cavity Wall insulation must be trimmed and sealed back from the hole by at least 50mm to prevent contact with the flue.
