Freestanding Installation - distance from a combustible wall
To determine whether the wall next to where the stove is going to be installed is flamma-
ble, you should contact your building contractor or the local building authorities.
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove. The chimney must be
independently supported by wall brackets or a ceiling support plate. The weight of the
stove is indicated in the brochure.
The stove should always be installed on a non-combustible hearth of a size and construc-
tion that is in accordance with the provisions of the current UK Building Regulations Ap-
proved Document J.
If the stove is to be installed on a wooden floor, it must be covered with a non-combustible
material at least 12 mm thick and for free standing installations we recommend 575mm in
front and 150mm to each side of the stove.
If the Q-Tee 2 is installed with the Rais log store, the distance in front of the stove must
meet the UK Building Regulations of 300mm.
Recess Installation - non combustible walls
For installation within a non combustible recess (ie a typical UK chimney breast), please
refer to Section J of the UK Building Regulations which advise a minimum 225 or 300mm
in front of the appliance.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth
and walls adjacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of
combustible material given in UK Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in
these stove instructions.
