    It is recommended that the fireplace be installed at least 800mm from combustible materials. However, any household furnishings should be at least 1000mm away as they could be adversely affected by heat. The fireplace can be recessed in a suitable sized fireplace but a permanent free air gap of at least 200mm must be left around the sides and top and at least 50 mm at the back of the fireplace to obtain maximum heat output and for access to the rear of the fireplace.
  • Page 7 FLUE HEIGHT The chimney height and the position of the chimney should conform to the manufacturers recommendations. Flues should be high enough to clear the products of combustion. The height necessary for this will depend on the type of the appliance, the height of the building, the type of flue and the number of bends in it, and an assessment of local wind patterns.
