Distance to Combustible materials
Combustible materials should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls of fireplaces or flues
could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combustible materials due account must be
taken of the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document
J and also in these stove instructions.
-
The minimum distances to flammable materials are specified on the EN 13240 plate on the back of the stove.
Hearth
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is not
independently supported.
The WESTFIRE UNIQ 35 stove has been tested and are suitable to be installed on a 12mm non-combustible plate
suchas Westfire 12mm glass plates or 20mm slate plates. Installation of all hearths should comply in size and
construction so that it is in accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations Approved Document
J. The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth and walls adjacent
to thehearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building
Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If the stove is to be installed on a wooden floor, it must be covered with a non-combustible material at least 12mm
thick, in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J, to a distance of 30 cm in front of the stove
and 15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.
Combustion air supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the room in
which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary if the room is double-glazed
or a flue draught stabiliser is operating in the same room as the appliance. The provision of air supply to the stove
must be in accordance with current Building Regulations Approved Document J. An opening window is not
appropriate for this purpose. Air inlets must be positioned in such a way that they cannot be blocked. An air inlet
may be a vent (the vent must be open and the capacity of the vent sufficient when the stove is lit) or a fresh air
system linked to the stove.
The WESTFIRE UNIQ 35 are fitted as standard with a closed air supply collar, this enables the stove to take all
combustion air (primary, secondary and tertiary) directly from outside with 80mm pipe from the stove.
There are no European rules regarding the minimum distance to non-flammable walls, Westfire recommend leaving
a gap of at least 10 cm behind and to sides of stove.
