Load-Bearing Structural Elements Made Of Concrete And Reinforced Concrete; Wooden Beams; Insulation Layers; Special Measures For Fire Prevention Or Adjacent, Combustible Structural Elements - Spartherm Mini R1V 51 NSHF Installation Instructions Manual

5.2. LOAD-BEARING STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS MADE
OF CONCRETE AND REINFORCED CONCRETE
Open fireplaces must be installed to that no load-bearing structural ele-
ments made of concrete or reinforced concrete are located within 30 cm
of the warm air exit points at the sides and lower than a height of 50 cm
above the exit points.

5.3. WOODEN BEAMS

Wooden beams may not be installed within the radiation area of the fireplace
insert. Air has to circulate around wooden beams above an open fireplace
with a minimum distance of 1 cm. You are not allowed to directly anchor
them with thermal bridges.

5.4. INSULATION LAYERS

(see fig. 6 + 7; page 13)
Due to the information of the testing institute and the applicable standards,
all of our statements on insulation material are based on mineral wool as
the reference insulation material, details as follows. Alternative, suitable
insulation material can also be used. But is has to be certified by DIBt or
have received a permit.
5.2.1. SPECIAL MEASURES FOR FIRE
PREVENTION OR ADJACENT,
COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS
1 Between built-in furniture and the fireplace facing, a distance of at least 5 cm has to be
maintained.
2 For structural element that only abut on small areas (wall, floor or ceiling covering), we
recommend a gap of 1 cm.
3 From the combustion chamber opening, there needs to be at least an 80 cm gap toward the
front, the sides, and the ceiling between structural elements made of combustible construc-
tion materials or flammable components as well as between built-in furniture, unless the
assembly and operation manual for the device does not contain any other specifications.
4 When installing a radiation guard that is ventilated on both sides, a distance of 40 cm is
sufficient. The ventilated distance to the radiation guard has to be at least 2 cm.
