Floors made from combustible materials, such as carpets, parquet floors or cork is to
be protected by a shield of non-combustible material – for example ceramics, stone,
glass or steel – placed under the fireplace so that it should reach out to
50 cm in
front and 30 cm besides.
2.4 Connection of the fireplace
WARNING:
Before connecting the fireplace to the chimney, seek advice from the
competent chimney sweeper!
The connecting elements should be attached to the equipment and to each other in a
properly sealed and stable manner. They may not hang into the unobstructed cross-
section of the chimney. The interconnecting piece between the chimney and the
fireplace should be of the same cross-section size as the pipe stub of the fireplace.
Horizontal connecting pieces should ascend to the chimney in 10°. Pipes that are not
heat-protected or not led vertically may not be longer than 1 m.
There should be a minimum distance of
40 cm kept between the connection pieces
of the fireplace and combustible materials in the building. Provided that the
interconnecting pieces have a non-combustible coating of minimum
2 cm , the
distance from combustible materials may be at least 10 cm . If the interconnecting
pieces are led through equipment or furnishing made from combustible materials,
they have to be covered with a protecting tube made from any non-combustible
material in a distance of at least
20 cm , or they have to be coated with any non-
combustible material with low heat conductance in a minimum range of 20 cm .
Smaller distances to combustible materials are permissible if it is ensured that at the
rated performance of the fireplace the temperature cannot rise over 85°C at the
combustible equipment and furnishings.
WARNING:
The connection of the fireplace to the chimney is not permissible if the effective
height of the chimney is less than
4 m , or 5 m with multiple loading.
To the chimney that the fireplace uses, a maximum of two other fireplaces, ovens
may be connected.
The fireplace can usually be
connected to the chimney with
an angle pipe
With weak chimney draught, the
fireplace is to be connected to
the chimney through a vertical
flue gas pipe facilitating
discharge.
