Clearances may be reduced with the application of
heat shielding to walls in accordance to the
Australian Building Code.
For information on heat shielding please contact our
office on 03 9416 0400 or email [email protected].
IMPORTANT:
Frames must also be considered. Timber window
frames must be treated as combustible surfaces
(see 2.3). Aluminium frames can be treated as
non-combustible surfaces (see 2.2).

3.2 Installing the external flue
1. Place the connection piece inside the suspension bracket. This will join the single skin flue below the
bracket and the triple skin flue above the bracket which have different diameters.
2. Ensure the triple skin flue is installed as per Australian standards (see diagrams below).
The top of the flue must be 400mm higher than the highest point of the roof. Alternatively, there must be a
minimum distance of 8 meters from any higher section of roof.

3.3 Protecting the floor
• Any combustible floor beneath a fireplace must have a floor protector that extends 100mm beyond the sides
and back of the firebox and 300mm at the front.
• If installed directly on combustible material, the floor protector must be made of a minimum 24mm thick cement
sheet. Non-combustible finishes can be applied to the floor protector (tiles, steel sheet, light concrete, etc).
• If the combustible floor is installed on concrete, you can replace the combustible material with non-
combustible material laid directly onto the concrete.

4. OPERATION
4.1 What you should burn
• Untreated, air dried hardwood
• Split logs with a humidity content of less than 20%
4.2 Do not burn
• Trash
• Painted plastic
• Coated or preservative treated wood
• Waste or black coal
• Inflammable liquids
• Fire gels
• Moist wood with a residual humidity content of more than 20% (this may cause soothing of the chimney).

IMPORTANT:
• Misuse may lead to unhealthy and environmentally harmful emissions and will void any warranty or guarantee.
• The maximum load capacity for the Tipi is 10kg of wood.
• Burning only seasoned hardwood helps to protect the environment and lower emissions.
