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 9: Flue Height
Bends and offsets should be formed only with the matching factory-made components. Liners need to be placed with the sockets or rebate ends uppermost to contain moisture and other condensates in the flue. Joints should be sealed with fire cement, refractory mortar or installed in accordance with their manufacturer’s instructions. -

There must always be a permanent means of providing air for combustion into the room in which the fire is installed. A permanent vent with a total free area of at least 550mm2 for every kW rated above 5kW should be connected directly to the outside air or an adjacent room which itself has a permanent vent of the same size direct to the outside air. -
Page 12: Cleaning The Flue
CLEANING THE FLUE Access for cleaning the flue should be incorporated in the system other than through the appliance (e.g. a soot door or access through a register plate). FUME EMISSIONS To avoid chimney problems, your fire should not be burnt slowly for longer than 12 hours without a period of fast burning. -
Page 13: Types Of Fuel
TYPES OF FUEL Fuel should be dry and timber should be well seasoned (at least 8-12 months) so as to have moisture content below 20%. The use of damp wood will result in more soot and tar deposits being left in the chimney, flue and fireplace, and will not release heat if thermal energy is being used to drive out moisture from the fuel. -
