INSTALLATION INTO TIMBER FRAMED CHIMNEY CHASES
FRAMEOUT INTO ROOM (requires ZERO CLEARANCE FLUE KIT)
Note:
Framing minimum width from side of zero clearance firebox to side wall is 130mm (on
each side), i.e. the minimum width of the chimney chase shall be Dimension “B” + Dimension “C”
+ 260mm. This is to ensure air circulation around the appliance and avoid heat damage to wall
coverings. Installation must comply with NZS5261:2003/AG601
Two main configurations are used in new installations into new homes. Both require slightly different
approaches with air venting, but both require the use of zero clearance flue kits.
1. For dedicated chimney chases NOT open to the roof-ceiling cavity.
The chase must be vented at the bottom near the base level of the fireplace with 2 individual vents,
preferably one each side of the fire, each with a minimum size of 100mm x 50mm opening. Identical
vents must be repeated near the top of the chase, preferably directly above the bottom vents.
2. For chimney chases that open into and share the roof-ceiling cavity.
The chase must be vented at the bottom near the base level of the fireplace with 2 individual vents,
preferably one each side of the fire, each with a minimum size of 100mm x 50mm
opening.
Air vents must be of a bird & vermin proof design and able to prevent rain penetration into the chase.
