Installation Requirements
3.1
Hearths and Recesses
The stove should be installed on a surface with adequate load bearing capacity.
If the existing construction does not meet this prerequisite, suitable measures
(e.g. load distributing plate) should be taken to achieve it. Please pay particular
attention when examining existing building work for suitability to meet the
following requirements.
Hearths and recesses for Cassette stoves should have a sufficiently flat surface
to allow a good seal to the stove body to be created during its installation.
Stonework, uneven bricks etc. may need further work to ensure that this can
be achieved.
Cassette stoves should be installed into a recess on a non-combustible surface
not less then 125mm thick (conforming to Building Regulations) of suitable load
bearing capacity. Allowances should be made for the expansion and contraction
of materials which are fitted up to and near the appliance.
Dimensions of the constructional hearth for all stoves (including any ’hole in
the wall’ type installation) should project at least 500mm forward of the front of
the appliance and 150mm at the sides. The surface of the hearth should be free
of combustible materials. The superimposed hearth for all installations should
project at least 225mm forward from the front of the appliance and 150mm either
side of the edge of the appliance.
