POSITIONING YOUR FREE-STANDING WOODFIRE
Free-standing woodfires must not be installed in a fireplace or alcove, or under a ceiling of less than
2.3m height. No wall or other fixed object may be closer to the front of the woodfire than one metre.
When fitting a water heating tube, the woodfire should be close to the water cylinder (See page 9).
Determine the installation position for your woodfire only after considering the necessary clearances
(See Tables below) and checking the practicability of installing the flue system. Regard heat resistant
walls with heat sensitive surface treatments (e.g. wallpaper or heat sensitive paints) as heat sensitive
walls. The flue shielding and the 25mm outer clearance gap above the ceiling will occupy a diameter
of 300mm (Grandview and Toronto 325mm), and this space must be available without the removal of
structural beams. Flue installations other than strictly vertical ones are possible. See AS/NZS 2918 for
information on non-vertical flues and flues passing through walls and eaves.
