ASSESSING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A STOVE
Your supplier or Hetas registered installer will be able to advise you on the individual requirements that are
needed to install a stove safely.
It is most important that the stove is the correct size. This means that the output should match the heat
requirements of the room. Also, to be considered is the fuel choice and the provision of suitable and convenient
storage with easy access to the stove.
Having decided on the ideal appliance then the installation should be fully assessed. The chimney requirements
should be carefully assessed. Hearth requirements should be carefully specified, remember the building
regulations lay out the minimum requirements. The chances of damaging a floor or carpet will be much reduced
if the depth of a hearth is extended beyond the minimum. Any combustible materials should be at least 500mm
distance from the sides and back and 800mm clear of the door and should never be allowed to exceed 80 °C.
For further advice on chimney and hearth also see details below.
Assess also the fireplace surround if any is to be used, it is essential that combustible materials are not used
close to the stove and flue pipe. This requirement may vary depending on the construction of a stove but is
advised to keep combustible materials at least 500mm or preferably 1 metre away from the stove or flue pipe.
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE STOVE
