5.8.1 The flue spigot and any spigot extension must be capable of passing through
the closure plate by at least 38mm with a minimum clearance of 50mm from its open
end and the nearest vertical surface (See figure 4).
5.8.2 A spigot extension is available (Valor part number 0595191). The spigot
extension is 120mm in length and it is recommended that it be fitted 20mm onto the
spigot. This will give a total spigot length of 150mm from the rear fixing plane of the
fire. When fitted this shall extend through the closure plate for at least 38mm and
have a minimum clearance of 50mm of 50mm from its open end and the nearest
vertical surface.

5.9 The hearth.

The appliance must be mounted on a non-combustible hearth except when the
appliance is elevated 50mm above the finished floor as in figure 4 (N.B.
conglomerate marble hearths are considered as non-combustible). The hearth must
be at least 680mm wide x 300mm deep. The hearth material must be at least 12mm
thick. The periphery of the hearth (or fender) should be at least 50mm above floor
level to discourage the placing of carpets or rugs over it.
