MINIMUM SAFETY DISTANCES
Ceiling
Floor
Danger area for radiation
- FLAMMABLE WALLS:
the stove may be installed near flammable
walls provided suitable protection consisting of insulating and non-
combustible material is inserted.
To insulate the stove and to install the surround correctly, construct
a lining wall in non-flammable material (e.g. fireresistant
plasterboard or masterboard) and insert a “
C
” thick layer of
insulating material between the two walls.
Always leave a gap “
A
” between the stove and the lining wall. (Fig.
19 - 20)
- NON-FLAMMABLE WALLS:
always leave a gap of 5 cm between
the stove and the lining wall.
- FLAMMABLE CEILING:
create an 8 cm false ceiling of non-
flammable material.
The minimum distance between the false ceiling and connection to
the flueway must be 20 cm, while the flue connection must be
insulated with at least 3 cm thick non-flammable material that is
resistant to high temperatures. (Fig. 19 - 20)
If the surround canopy and the flue connection are metal, the
minimum distance from the false ceiling may be reduced to 10 cm,
but the insulation of the connection to the flueway must be at least
6 cm thick.
- NON-FLAMMABLE CEILING:
the minimum distance between the
ceiling and connection to the flueway must be 20 cm.
If the floor is made of flammable material, it must be protected with
a layer of insulating material of thickness “
E
” while an air space “
D
”
must be left between the firebox and the floor. (Fig. 19)
For
insulation,
use
insulating
material
with
the
characteristics given in the paragraph “SUITABLE HEAT
INSULATING MATERIALS”.
There is a radiation area in front of the stove which must be kept free
of any flammable element, such as: carpets, curtains, wood
furnishings, ornaments, flammable liquids, fire-lighting products or
firewood, etc.
This area is defined by the distance “
R
”. (Fig. 19 - 20)
Failure to comply with the above could cause a fire!!!
