4. Clearances
IMPORTANT: INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH CURRENT BUILDING REGULATIONS
ENSURE THAT SUFFICIENT CLEARANCES
ARE PROVIDED BETWEEN THE FLUE PIPE AND ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IN THE FIREPLACE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE RULES IN FORCE.
4.1 When installing a freestanding stove it is important to observe the following clearances to both combustible and non-combustible
materials.
Also ensure that a clearance of 1 meter is maintained in front of the appliance when operating.

4.2 All appliances will require some clearance between them
and any non-combustible materials to allow for either:
— Installation, servicing or accessing controls.
— Convection in order for the appliance to function properly.
Freestanding Stoves
Recommended: Minimum clearances for installation/
servicing/convection is:
Rear - 25mm Sides - 50mm* Top - 100mm
NOTE: If the non-combustible surface is less than
200mm thick additional clearances may be required.
This requirement ensures that the non-combustible material
does not transmit excessive heat through the wall onto
combustible material which might be placed against it.
* See 4.3 for additional space required for Multi-fuel
appliances.
See Diagrams 2 & 3 (Fireplaces) & Diagram 4
(Freestanding) and table below.
