Ventilation
Ventilation to the room that houses the fire must meet the requirements of NZ5261
Framing Details
Prior to installation, timber framing needs to be provided to suit the selected Real
Fire. See installation drawing
Hearth
A non combustible Hearth must be provided in front of the Real Fire unless the
flooring in front of the fire is non combustible. The minimum size is 300mm out from
the fire and 150mm each side wider than the fire.
Height of fire from floor
It is important to confirm the height the fire is to be installed from the floor level. This
is usually the hearth height. For example if the hearth is 100mm high then the fire
needs to be installed 100mm high. ( note- some elevated installations specify the fire
higher than the hearth). Once the height is confirmed a platform needs to be built to
support the firebox. The platform can be of timber construction. It needs to be sturdy
and level.
Gas Supply
A suitable gas supply needs to be provided at the right hand rear corner of the timber
frame cavity. The pipe sizing should be calculated to supply gas to suit the megajoule
rating of the fire. See rating chart. The gas supply should be reduced down to 10mm
copper pipe at the fireplace location and left with a coil of approx 1 metre to feed into
the firebox.
