If using single wall flue, please ensure there is a clearance of at least 3 times
the diameter of the flue pipe from any combustible material (e.g. 150mm
pipe = 450mm minimum clearance to wooden beam).
HEARTH CONSTRUCTION
Hearths should be constructed of suitably robust materials and to
appropriate dimensions such that, in normal use, they prevent combustion
appliances setting fire to the building fabric and furnishings and they limit the
risk of people being accidently burnt.
The hearth should be able to support the weight of the stove and its chimney
if the chimney is not independently supported.
For local building regulations, please see page 3.
