POSITIONING YOUR FREE-STANDING WOODFIRE
Free-standing woodfires must not be installed in a fireplace or alcove, or under a ceiling of not less
than 2.3m. No wall or other fixed object may be closer to the front of the woodfire than one metre.
If a water heating accessory is to be fitted, a further positioning restraint is the need to be close to
your hot water storage cylinder (See page 10).
Finalise the installation position for your woodfire only after considering the necessary stove to heat
sensitive wall distances (See Tables below) and checking the practicability of installing the flue system
through the ceiling and roof. Heat resistant walls covered with heat sensitive surface treatments (e.g.
wallpaper or heat sensitive paints) should be regarded as heat sensitive walls. The flue shielding and
the 25mm clearance gap around it above the ceiling will occupy a diameter of 300mm (Grandview
and Toronto 325mm), and this must be available without the removal of structural beams. Flue
installations other than strictly vertical ones are possible. See current Australian and New Zealand
Standards for information on flues passing through walls and eaves.
Detailed dimensional requirements for the flue installation are included with every MASPORT
approved flue system.
