As the Sara Insert Wood Pellet Fire is typically
installed in new homes, it is necessary to build a
compliant cavity that will house the fi re and the frame.
The front facia of the enclosure must be made of a
fi reproof rated board (above 80°C) such as (but not
limited to) Micore, Supalux or Eterpan, and this must
extend to a minimum of 600mm above the top of the
fi re. Within the cavity, there must be a minimum of
300mm clearance to combustibles above the fi re, and
a minimum 600mm gap between the top of the fi re
and the ceiling of the cavity. The cavity also requires
a minimum of 100cm
2
ventilation.

Built-in fi re clearances don’t apply in a non-combustible
cavity. The above clearance to combustibles on the fl ue
are only applicable within the fi re envelope. Clearance
outside this eg at a ceiling/wall thimble reverts to 25mm as
per ARS fl ue test 05/1185.
If installing a fl oating hearth, ensure suffi cient
clearance is left below the fi re to allow for installation
of the chosen surround.
