board or similar). A 20mm gap must be maintained between the outer case of the zero clearance box
and the Fyrchek plaster board, no gap is required when non-combustible material (Bellis board or
similar) is used. The non-combustible material can be installed in direct contact with the rear surface of
the appliance fascia. The side and rear walls, which can be made from combustible material shall be a
minimum of 100mm from the side and rear of the appliance zero clearance box. All enclosure
studs/framework on the front wall must be made from non-combustible material.
The top (ceiling) of the appliance enclosure must have a 100mm air gap between the flue outer casing
and combustible material, this also applies when the flue casing penetrates above living spaces or attic.
The roof (ceiling) of the enclosure shall be a minimum of 1800mm above the top of the floor protector.
