Where a hearth, replace, ue or chimney is provided or
extended (including cases where a ue is provided as part
of refurbishment work), information essential to the correct
appliance and use of these should be permanently posted
in the building, to meet Requirement J4 of the Building
Regulations (England and Wales), F3.12 (Scotland).
Fireplace opening
As all replaces are different it is not possible to give full details
of the construction of the replace opening. But this should be
constructed using ‘best practice’ construction methods using
suitable non-combustible materials.
Additional ventilation
If the replace is to be used with Solid fuel, Gas, or Oil products
additional ventilation will be required. This should meet the
requirements of the Building Regulations for the re to be
tted and the fuel to be used. This should be provided using a
permanently open air vent, which is positioned so that it is not
liable to be blocked both inside and outside the building.
If any of these checks reveal problems do not proceed with
the tting of the replace until they have been rectied.
Dimensions
Fitting optional insert panel (8904)
The insert panel is tted to the back of the main front panel
using the 4 xing screws supplied. This will then allow tting of
both Stovax and Gazco 16” products.
