ASSESSING THE REQUI REMENTS FOR THE INSTALLATI ON OF A STOV E
Your supplier or Hetas registered installer will be able to advise you on the individual require ments that are needed to
install a stove safely.
It is most important that the stove is the correct size. This means that the output should match the heat require ments of
the room. Also to be considered is the fuel choice and the provision of suitable and convenient storage with easy access
to the stove.
There must not be an extrac tor fan fitte d in the same room as the stove as this can c ause the stove to e mit fume s
into the room.
Having decided on the ideal appliance then the installation should be fully assessed. The chimney require ments should
be carefully assessed. Hearth require ments should be carefully specified, re me mber the building regulations lay out the
minimu m require ments. The chances of damaging a floor or carpet will be much reduced if the depth of a hearth is
e xtended beyond the minimu m. Any combustible materia ls should be at least 500mm distant from the sides and back
and 800mm clear of the door and should never be allowed to e xceed 80 °C. For further advice on chimney and hearth
also see details below.
Assess also the fireplace surround if any is to be used, it is essential that combustible materia ls are not used close to the
stove and flue pipe of a stove. This require ment may vary depending on the construction of a stove but is advised to
keep combustible materia ls at least 50c ms or preferab ly 1metre a way fro m the stove or flue pipe.
