Housing requirements.
The shaded box shows the absolute minimum housing size required for the Insert gas stove to be
installed where all the housing components are of non combustible materials which remain stable
at high temperatures.
If it is proposed to utilize the optional duct vents (see pages 12 & 19 for further details) the larger
vertical height measurement “B” will be required to allow access for fitting the ducts when the stove
is in its installed position.
If it is proposed to instal the stove in anything other than a brick or cement block housing it will be
necessary to increase the housing size to give a minimum clearance of 200mm after several layers
of “Glasroc” or similar heat proof, insulating material, have been attached to the housing walls.
If the provision of hot air duct outlets are to be utilized, similar care should be taken when routing
the ducts. Although they will never reach temperatures as high as the flue, they will inevitably reach
similar temperatures to the stove body at the point at which they connect with the stove, and although
they will reduce in temperature as the distance from the stove increases precautions should be
taken to insulate them from combustible materials.
The front wall of the housing will be subject to both the heat of the convected air and the radiated
heat from the fire. Although the convected heat will be considerably reduced if the stove is utilizing
its duct vents the front wall will inevitably become very warm. Insulating the inside of the front wall
will reduce the temperature and facing the wall with an insulating material e.g. “Glasroc” will reduce
the temperature even further, but it must never be forgotten that the stove is a heating appliance and
not an animated imitation of the real thing.
Nothing burns without air and the fuel in your stove will require a supply of air. Relying on a natural
ingress of air into the room is often unsatisfactory. By planning for air ventilation as part of the
stove’s installation allows you to position the air inlet where it has the shortest run to reach the stove
which will prevent the occupants being subjected to a draught of cold air.
