Permit and whether there are extra requirements. All MASPORT Wood fires have been tested to ensure that they will meet the appropriate safety Standard requirements if the instructions in this book are followed.

2.3m height. No wall or other fixed object may be closer to the front of the wood fire than one metre. When fitting a hot water booster, the wood fire should be close to the water cylinder. -
Page 7: Floor Protector (Hearth) Requirements
A particular example is when the wood fire is installed diagonally in a corner. It will be more practical to carry the protector right into the corner and shape it as shown. The chart facilitates calculation of the MINIMUM dimensions required for floor protectors of this shape. -
Page 8: Installing The Flue
INSTALLING THE FLUE You MUST use a flue system, which complies with the current installation Standard AS/NZS 2918. Full instructions are supplied with the flue kit, and these MUST be followed closely, including the minimum flue exit height from the top of the floor protector and the minimum exit height above the roofline or roof ridge as detailed in the instructions. -
Page 9: Fixing The Woodfire In Position
In New Zealand and some parts of Australia, Standards require that the wood fire and floor protector be secured to prevent shifting in the event of an earthquake. This is best done by fastening the wood fire right through the protector to the floor, using two screws not less than 12 gauge, or the equivalent size of coach bolts or toggle fasteners. -
Page 10: Installing A Water Heating Booster
THE HOT WATER SYSTEM MUST BE VENTED TO AVOID DANGEROUS EXPLOSIONS. For effective circulation, the pipes from the wood fire should rise at the rate of one in five toward the storage cylinder, and ideally, the cylinder should be within three meters of the wood fire. -

• • • • In NEW ZEALAND:- The LE 4000 Provincials can be installed in a masonry fireplace even though the fireplace has not been constructed to meet the 50 mm timber-to-masonry separation requirements specified in the Building Code and even though timber is in contact with the outside of the masonry. -
Page 13: Installing The Firebox And Flue
The flue recommended for use in Australia is a stainless steel chimney kit such as the Shamic #4. In New Zealand, we recommend the use of the MASPORT Provincial flue kit. Measure the fireplace recess and remove bricks as necessary to accept the firebox outer case.
