6.3.1
Locating the Stratford CF
A.
The best location to install your zero clearance wood inbuilt is determined by considering the location of
windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the room where the zero clearance wood inbuilt is located,
allowing space in front of the unit for the heart extension, the mantel and clearances to other
combustible materials (
Section 7:
Clearances to heat-sensitive materials
), and taking into consideration
the flue system. If possible, you should choose a location where the flue system will pass through the
house without cutting floor or roof rafters.
B.
Usually, no additional floor support is needed for the zero clearance wood inbuilt. The adequacy of the
floor can be checked by first estimating the weight of the zero clearance wood inbuilt system. Weight is
given in
Section 2.1:
Stratford CF Specifications
. Next, measure the area occupied by the zero clearance
wood inbuilt, note the floor construction and consult your local building code to determine if additional
support is needed.
C.
Note that the zero clearance wood inbuilt needs to be placed on a minimum 90 mm raised base. See
Section 7.1:
Positioning the Unit
for more detailed information.
