5.7 Fireplace clearances.
5.7.1
The minimum allowable distance from the outside of the appliance fascia to a
corner wall having combustible material or any other combustible surface which
projects beyond the front of the appliance is 100mm at either side (See figure 2). A
clearance of 100mm should be maintained at the right side in all installations to allow
satisfactory access to the control knob. Although no side clearance is necessary to
non-combustible surfaces on the left hand side we recommend a 100mm clearance
for service access to the fascia side fixings.
5.7.2
Allow a minimum clearance of
150mm
from the top surface of the appliance
fascia to the underside of any shelf whether it is made from
non-combustible
materials. This clearance is necessary to allow the fascia to be lifted off for servicing.
For a shelf made from
wood or other combustible materials deeper than 150mm,
the minimum clearance must be as below.
•
For a shelf up to 150mm deep
: Minimum clearance = 150mm.
•
For a shelf deeper than 150mm
: 150mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over
150mm (See figure 3).
Important : No combustible material (e.g. Wallpaper, plastic tiling, wood panelling etc.)
must be used on the fireplace wall below the shelf.
