Real Fires Standard Range Installation Instructions
Model 700
INSTALLATION INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE
Ventilation
Ventilation to the room that houses the fire must meet the requirements of NZS5261
Fireplace cavity and chimney inspection.
Real Fires are designed for installation into an existing masonry fireplace and
chimney.
Prior to installation the fireplace should be measured and a suitable size Real Fire
selected. In most situations the fireplace will require masonry alteration to
accommodate the firebox. See installation drawing.
The chimney will need to be inspected for suitability and checked for draw. Ensure it
complies with a minimum height of 2.4 Metres. The top of the chimney is a minimum
vertical clearance of 900mm from the roofline and 2 Metre horizontal clearance from
any roofline or any other part of the building. see cowl clearance drawing
The chimney should be swept prior to installation.
New Masonry Block Chimney
Installation of a Real Fire into a new masonry chimney may require installation with
an insulation kit and flue kit. This will also involve leaving the fireplace opening
1200mm high to allow installation. The method of installation is as per timber frame
installations. Please consult Real Fires in this situation for advice prior to
installation.
Hearth
A non combustible Hearth must be provided in front of the Real Fire unless the
flooring in front of the fire is non combustible. The minimum size is 300mm out from
the fire and 150mm each side wider than the fire.
Height of fire from floor
It is important to confirm the height the fire is going to be installed above the floor.
This is usually the hearth height. For example if the hearth is going to be 100mm high
then the base of the fireplace cavity usually needs to be the same height. (note- some
elevated installations specify the fire higher than the hearth).
It is important that the base of the cavity is plastered smooth and level.
Gas supply
A suitable gas supply needs to be provided at the right hand rear corner of the
fireplace cavity. The pipe sizing should be calculated to supply gas to suit the
megajoule rating of the fire. See rating chart. The gas supply should be reduced down
to 10mm copper pipe at the fireplace location and left with a 10mm coil of approx
1metre to feed into the firebox.

Questions and answers
My real fire 700 keeps turning itself off
The Real Fires 700 may keep turning itself off if the logs and coals are placed too tightly or too close to the pilot, affecting heat output and flame travel across the burner. Repositioning may be required to ensure proper operation.
