  • Page 5: Flue Terminal Position

    FLUE TERMINAL POSITION The minimum acceptable dimensions from the flue terminal to obstructions and ventilation openings are shown below and listed in the table It is important that the position of the flue allows the free passage of air across it at all times. The minimum acceptable space from the flue terminal to obstructions and ventilation openings are specified below in figure 2.

  • Page 6: Shelf Position

    SHELF POSITION The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum distance of 200mm above the top of the fire and the shelf does not project more than 150mm. If the shelf overhangs more than 150mm the distance between the fire and the shelf must be increased by 15mm for every 25mm of additional overhang over 150mm.

  • Page 7: Fireplace Opening

    FIRE PLACE OPENING 2.2.1 The front opening of the fire place must be between 410 and 420mm wide, and between 563 and 570mm high. If the opening exceeds these dimensions then a surround must be constructed from suitable non- combustible material to produce a suitable sized opening. Any surround must be suitably sealed to the fire place to prevent leakage.
