Floor Protectors; Seismic Restraints - Bosca Limit 380 Installation Manual

INSTALLATION MANUAL
FLUE SHIELD
The Bosca flue shield (P/N110017) must be used in all installations where the fire is installed against a
combustible wall to the clearances listed in the chart on page 2 of this manual.
If the wall behind the fire is a non-combustible ventilated surface as per AS/NZS 2918:2001 then clearances
can be reduced and the flue shield is not required.
Installation instruction are provided with the Flue Shield and Heat Shield kit
FLOOR PROTECTOR
– Bosca freestanding wood fires DO NOT require an insulating floor protector as they comply with the minimum
floor protector requirements of AS/NZS 2918:2001. These minimum floor protector requirements are:
– They must be of adequate size to give appropriate wall, rear and front clearances/ projections as detailed
below and in the chart illustrated on page "2".
– The floor protector must extend 200mm horizontally to the rear and each side directly below the door open-
ing, and 300mm forward of the door opening.
– The upper surface of the floor protector must be made of non-combustible material.
– A suitable floor protector for a Bosca freestanding wood fire is therefore any non-combustible material which
could include;
– Ceramic tiles with grouted joints fixed directly to timber flooring.
– A sheet of toughened glass, panel steel etc directly onto a wooden or other combustible floor.
Note: if being installed directly onto concrete or non-combustible floor, a floor protector is not necessary.
FLUE INSTALLATION
Any flue system used on this fire must comply with and be installed as detailed in AS/NZS 2918:2001. We
recommend the following kits which are compliant and come complete with instructions.
"Bosca Flue Kit" (available through your Bosca dealer)
"Sheet metal Fabricated Products Limited 4 metre Freestanding 2400 Flue Kit"
SEISMIC RESTRAINT
As per AS/NZS 2918:2001, Bosca fires installed in New Zealand are required to have seismic
restraint.
This can be achieved in the Limit 380 and Firepoint 360 by using the two holes provided in the
baseplate of the fireplace. If installing into a concrete floor masonry anchors are required, for
wooden floors, any suitable fastener will suffice.
The Spirit 550 is supplied with two Seismic Restraint Brackets welded on each side as it does not
have a base plate. Use these brackets with masonry anchors if installing into a concrete floor, or
alternatively, any suitable fastener for a wooden floor.
The fittings must comply with all local council specifications.
Note: the fastener must pass through the Floor Protector if fitted into the floor.
