7. Clearances to Heat-Sensitive Materials
It is of outmost importance that the clearances to heat-sensitive materials are carefully maintained
upon the installation of the wood fire you have selected. Refer to the tables below.
No part of the wood fire or flue pipe may be located closer to combustibles than the
minimum clearance figures given.
7.1 Location of the Certification Label
Since the information given on the certification label affixed to the appliance always overrides
the information published, in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines
and/or web sites) it is important to refer to it in order to have a safe and compliant installation.
In addition, you will find information about your wood fire (model, serial number, etc.). You can
find the certification label on the back of the wood fire.
7.2 Clearances to Walls and Ceiling
WHERE THE FLUE PASSES THROUGH A WALL, CEILING, FLOOR OR ROOFS, VENTILATED
DOUBLE FLUE-WOOD FIRE CASINGS MUST BE USED AROUND THE FLUE, ALONG WITH
CEILING PLATES AS SPECIFIED IN AS/NZS 2918:2001. THE CASING SHALL PASS THROUGH
THE ENTIRE THICKNESS OF WALL OR CEILING.
See figure Clearances to heat sensitive materials and floor protection to match each letter to a
