The front opening of the fireplace must be between 305mm and 440mm
wide, and between 470mm and 650mm high. If the opening is larger
than this, then a surround must be constructed in a suitable non-com
bustible material to create an opening to these limits. Allow a minimum
flat surface of 20mm around the opening to ensure that the closure
plate can be sealed to the fireplace.
Any surround must be sealed to the fireplace to prevent leakage. The
operation of the chimney should be tested a detailed as in section 1.7.
Note. A flue spigot extension of up to a maximum total length of 125mm
may be fitted if necessary, providing that a minimum clearance
50mm between its open end and nearest obstruction is always
maintained.
