only.
Fit fire to plinth.

INSTALLATION ORDER OF OPERATIONS
POINTS TO CONSIDER PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
L
ocation of the Fire. Open fires are better located at one end of a room or area, as they project the heat away from their opening.
The Topography of the land .
The slope and position of the land in relation to the home has a bearing on how the wind will interact with the fire and flue system. Care
needs to be taken to ensure that the flue termination is in the correct position to maximise performance.
The Prevailing Wind.
Care needs to be taken to ensure that the flue termination is in the correct position as wind and gusts that hits the flue and cowl system may
overcome the cowl and draft back down the flue into the home. This can be a combination of down draft and high pressure.
Hearth and Plinth:
The Height of the Hearth off the Floor. The Finishing that is to be used on the Hearth is to be allowed for at the design stage.
Note : Ensure Air Intake at Base of Firebox is not blocked or restricted .
Positioning of the Flue System:
There is a maximum distance that an offset flue can be Installed . Reference to AS/NZS 2918:2001 .
Flue And Fire Clearance:
To be maintained to the Manufactures Instructions &/or Comply with appropriate Standards & Building Codes .
Pressure Differential, Venting & External Air into the Building
:
All fires need air to burn and draw correctly, Kitchen Fans, Air Conditioning units, High Wind Zones, Naturally forming Draft spaces, can all
have an effect on the pressure difference from inside the building to the outside. A lower pressure in the building may induce a draft down
the flue system and back into the building causing the fire to smoke or spill into the building.
Care needs to be taken at the design and
installation stage to adequately vent the building, or some mechanical system to ensure that there is always a neutral or positive
pressure at the fireplace and a negative pressure at the flue outlet.
This will ensure that the draft in the flue system is always to the
outside.

Wind Noise:
You may encounter wind noise in some installations. It is recommended
to use an enclosed chase with a chimney pot to help reduce noise.
There will always be some noise from the flue systems of all fireplaces.
