Revised Zero Clearance Installation Instructions for
Piccolo, Sofia & Madrid Gas Heaters.
These instructions are to be read in conjunction with the standard
Piccolo, Sofia & Madrid Owner’s and Installation Manual (part no. 590340).
They apply only when bearer rails are fitted to the outer steel cabinet.
TheZeroClearanceKitenables the MasportPiccolo, Sofia andMadrid Gasfires tobe installedwhen noconventional
masonry chimney is available. Installation of the kit is not difficult, but it is important to follow the sequence suggested
below. No special heat resistant hearth (floor protector) is required.
PLEASE NOTE:Aspecial ‘zero clearance’fascia will be required, as the usual fascias are unsuitable.Aspecial Flue
Kit is also needed. This has a 100mm-diameter flue surrounded by a 150mm-diameter heat shield. This shield is spaced
out from the flue and rests on top of the outer cabinet. Ventilation of the space between the flue and the shield is
provided by the clearance hole for the flue in the cabinet top.
WARNING: The stand-off angles on the sides and rear of the outer cabinet are fitted to ensure a safe clearance
to combustible materials. The stand-off angles must not be removed. Additionally, no combustible framing
material must be less than 35mm above the top of the outer cabinet.
All Masport heaters are tested to New Zealand and Australian Standards. Clearances are for fire hazard only.
For durability of finishes and surfaces you should contact the relevant manufacturer for their specifications.
Masport accepts no responsibility for the deterioration of surfaces or finishes.
PROCEDURE FOR INTERNAL INSTALLATIONS:
1. Inspect the house construction at the proposed installation position to verify that the 150 mm diameter flue
shield can pass right up through the ceiling space without requiring the removal of essential roof or ceiling
support beams. The flue centreline will be 335mm back from the finished front face of the enclosure. If the
heater is to be installed parallel to an existing wall, and if the enclosure is built to its minimum allowable depth,
the flue centreline will be 245mm from the wall. If the heater will be parallel to the wall, any heat sensitive side
wall must be at least 520mm from the heater centreline. If the enclosure is to be at 45° in the corner of the
room, and is built to its minimum allowable depth, the face of the enclosure will be 935mm out from the corner
and the flue centreline will be 600mm out from the corner.
2. Drop a plumb line from the ceiling to the floor to establish a flue centreline as detailed above, and cut and nog
a hole at least 200mm square through the ceiling on this centreline. The ceiling inside the enclosure may be
removed entirely, if desired, and it must be removed if it will be less than 1600mm above the top of the outer
steel cabinet. (See Step 10).

Page 4
3. Frame up the enclosure as shown in Fig. 1. The frame should provide a recess 710mm wide and at least
580mm deep (measured from the face of the cladding material or from any tiles etc. that may be fixed to the
cladding material). The overall width of the frame must be not less than 1040mm to accommodate the fascia
width and to ensure a safe clearance to any combustible material should there be a room side-wall abutting
the enclosure. The opening must have two timber uprights spaced 710mm (between) at the front. The bearer
rails on the base of the outer steel cabinet will sit directly on the floor. No insulation is needed on top of the floor
in the recess. (See Figs. 1 & 2).
4. The floor in front of the heater will not require a hearth or any other heat protection, although a hearth (floor
protector) may be provided, if desired, purely for aesthetic reasons.
5. The usual three nogs may be fixed at each side of the enclosure. At the front the lowest nog must have its
lower face 735mm above the floor. Further nogs can be fitted anywhere above this one.
6. Fix the cladding to the sides and front of the framed-up enclosure. Conventional paper-faced wall cladding will
be satisfactory on all faces of the enclosure, although a more appropriate material (such as Tile and Slate
underlay) may be preferable where tiles etc. are to be fitted.
7. If a decorative finish (such as tiles or slate) is to be applied to the face of the enclosure, this should be done
next. The decorative finish must extend down to the top of the recess but may stop short of the sides of the
recess provided that packing is provided between the uprights of the enclosure and the flanges of the outer
steel cabinet to bring the flanges in line with the outer surface of the decorative finish.
8. If a mantelshelf is being fitted, it must extend no more than 200 mm, and its undersurface must be at least
1060mm above the floor or at least 305mm above the top of the fascia if the base of the heater is raised above
floor level. For raised installations, see Step 2. Please note that the mantelshelf details in the standard manual
are NOT valid for zero clearance installations.
9. Penetrate the roofing material on the flue centreline, following the instructions accompanying the special Zero
Clearance Flue Kit.
10. IMPORTANT. Cover the entire open space surrounding the flue heat shield (at ceiling level) with wire
netting with a mesh small enough to prevent the entry of birds or vermin. This will avoid the risk of a
fire from nesting inside the enclosure.

Page 5
11. Assemble the two sides, the base, the back and the top of
the outer steel cabinet. Fix the two fascia support angle
strips under the top of the outer cabinet with their flanges
up, thus forming a channel with the front flange of the
cabinet top. (See Fig. 6). When assembling the sides to
the base, fit a bearer rail at each side to raise the base of
the outer cabinet 25mm above floor level. Slide the
cabinet into the constructed recess. Check that it is
centred between the front studs and that the cabinet is ‘
squared up’. Secure the outer cabinet to the front studs
through the six holes in the front flanges of the outer
cabinet.
12. Assemble sufficient lengths of flue heat shield (150 mm dia.) so that the flue will extend the necessary height
above the roof line. (See flue instructions).
13. Lower the flue shield down through the roof aperture until it is resting on top of the outer steel case. Check
from below that it is centralised on the hole in the cabinet and flash the shield at roof level.
14. Fasten a seismic restraint bracket on each side of the firebox cabinet.
15. Slide the firebox cabinet into the outer cabinet and secure the seismic restraint brackets to the cabinet flanges.
16. Make the gas connection as detailed in the standard manual.
17. Place the 200mm square plate (with the 108mm diameter hole) over the flue spigot on top of the firebox cabinet
(not the outer cabinet).
18. Assemble the appropriate number of flue lengths and fix flue shield spacers as required (see flue instructions).
Lower the assembled flue down through the heat shield in the usual manner and ensure that it engages with the
flue socket of the heater. Fit the flue cowl.
19. Slide in the top front panel of the firebox cabinet and secure it at each side with a screw.
20. Install the insulating blanket on top of the firebox cabinet (not the outer cabinet).
21. Assemble the bottom louvred panel of the fascia to the fascia upright panels, sandwiching the stiffener plate
between them as shown in Fig. 7, using four screws.
22. Offer this assembly into approximately its final position and attach the wiring looms to the switches as detailed in
23. Fit the fascia, using two screws each side, into the firebox cabinet.

Page 6
24. Lower the top fascia rail prongs into the fascia
uprights, ensuring the assembly is firmly in position
and confirming that the top rail engages in the channel
(formed in step 11) at the top front of the outer
cabinet
25. Fit two screws through the bottom of the top fascia rail into the front upstand of the firebox cabinet.
26. Remove the glass and install the embers. (See standard manual). Re-fit the glass.
27. Carry out the usual test firing procedure.
EXTERNAL INSTALLATIONS:
In the case where the enclosure is to be erected outside the house, the shielding and flue installation details above will
stillapply. Suitablefoundations willbe requiredto supportthe weightof the enclosureand theheater,and weatherproofing
of the entire assembly will be necessary.
As before, the opening for the appliance in the wall must be 710mm wide and 735mm high with its bottom edge level
with the floor of the room. The minimum clearances to nearby side-walls and mantelshelf requirements as detailed in
Fig. 2 must be met.

CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are minimum distances unless otherwise stated:
A major cause of chimney related fires is failure to maintain required
clearances (air space) to combustible materials. It is of the greatest
importance that this fireplace and vent system be installed only in accordance
with these instructions.
Clearance to combustibles from:
Back (0mm) SideWallClearance
Side (0mm) Bay or Flush Front (191mm)
Floor (0mm)

Fire hazard is an extreme risk if these
clearances are not adhered to.
Note: A non-combustible
mantel may be installed
at a lower height
if the framing is made
of metal studs covered
with a non-combustible
board.
This drawing is to scale at 1:6
(one inch = 6 inches). Mantel
can be installed anywhere in
shaded area or higher using the
above scale.
Note: Ensure the paint that is
used on the mantel and
the facing is “heat resistant”
or the paint may discolour.

FLUEING INTRODUCTION
The Masport uses the "balanced flue" technology Co Axial system. The inner liner flues products of combustion
to the outside while the outer liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the
need to use heated room air for combustion and losing warm room air up the chimney.
There are 2 flue systems approved for use with the Roma: the Masport Direct Vent System (Flex) for Horizontal
Terminations only, and the Masport System for Vertical Terminations.
Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and flue system must be flued directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a
chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each room sealed gas appliance must use it's own
separate flue system. Common flue systems are prohibited.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
for Masport Direct Vent System (Flex)
Minimum and Maximum Flue Clearances
1) Locate the unit in the framing,
roughinthegas(preferablyonthe
right side of the unit) and the
electrical (Junction block is on the
left side) on the left. Locate the
centerline of the termination and
mark wall accordingly. Cut a
254mm hole in the wall (inside
dimension).
*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between
the flue and the outside corner is 150mm with AstroCap
termination cap or 300mm with alternate termination cap
(556310).
Note: To make the installation more
aesthetically pleasing, we
recommendframingoutasquare
to mount the terminal to.
Note: A 40mm clearance around the
liner must be maintained except
that only a 25mm clearance is
needed at the termination end.
We recommend framing a
254mm x 254mm (inside
dimensions) hole to give
structural rigidity for mounting
the termination.
2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to
the framing using nails or screws
through the nailing strips.
3) Assemble the flue assembly by
applying Mill Pac to the 100mm
inner collar of the termination and
slipping the 100mm liner over it at
least 35mm. Fasten with the 3
screws(drillingpilotholeswillmake
this easier). Apply Mill Pac or high

and ensure seal wil Mil-Pac.
Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner
pipe and high temperature
silicone sealant to outer pipe on
every joint.
b) Horizontal runs of flue must be
supported every three feet. Wall
strapsareavailableforthis purpose.
3) Markthewallfora254mmx254mm
square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the
centerline of the horizontal pipe.
Cut and frame the 254mm square
hole in the exterior wall where the
flue will be terminated. If the wall
being penetrated is constructed of
non-combustible material, i.e.
masonry block or concrete, a
178mm diameter (191mm dia. for
flex) hole is acceptable.
See Horizontal Termination diagram
on page 13.
Note:
a) The horizontal run of flue must
be level, or have a 6mm for
every 300mm of run towards
thetermination.Neverallow the
fluetorundownward.Thiscould
cause high temperatures and
may present the possibility of a
fire.
b) The location of the horizontal
flue termination on an exterior
wall must meet all local and
national building codes, and
must not be blocked or
obstructed. For External Flue
Terminal Locations. See
diagram on Page 10.
Note: If installing termination on a

standofforfurringstripsmustbe
used to ensure that the
termination is not recessed into
the siding.
5) Before connecting the horizontal
run of flue pipe to the flue
termination, slide the Wall Thimble
over the flue pipe.
6) Slide the appliance and flue
assemblytowardsthewallcarefully
inserting the flue pipe into the flue
cap assembly. It is important that
the flue pipe extends into the flue
cap sufficient distance so as to
resultin a minimum pipeoverlap of
32mm. Secure the connection
between the flue pipe and the flue
cap with 3 sheet metal screws.
*AsspecifiedinCGAB149Installation
Code.Localcodesorregulationsmay
require different clearances.
WARNING:
When installing in a high
wind situation, common
sense must prevail.
Choose a sheltered side
of the house.
A non-combustible water
ingress shelf will need to
be fitted 200mm above
the terminal to prevent
water ingress in extreme
conditions or where no
sofit shelters the
terminal.

1) Maintain the 40mm
clearances (air
spaces) to
combustibles when
passing through
ceilings, walls, roofs,
enclosures, attic
rafter, or other
nearby combustible
surfaces. Do not
pack air spaces
with insulation.
2) Set the gas
appliance in its
desired location.
Drop a plumb bob down from the
ceiling to the position of the
appliance flue exit, and mark the
location where the flue will
penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small
hole at this point. Next, drop a
plumbbobfromtheroofto thehole
previouslydrilledintheceiling,and
mark the spot where the flue will
penetrate the roof.
4) Assemble the desired lengths of
pipe and elbows. Ensure that all
pipes and elbow connections are
fully sealed.
5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on
the small drilled hole placed in the
roof in Step 2. The hole should be
of sufficient size to meet the
minimum requirements for
clearance to combustibles of
40mm. Slip the flashing under the
shingles (shingles should overlap
half the flashing) as per Dia. 3.
6) Continuetoassemblepipelengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the
attic to avoid obstructions, it is
importanttosupportthefluepipe
every 900mm,toavoidexcessive
stress on the elbows, and
possibleseparation. Wallstraps
are available for this purpose.
Galvanized pipe is desirable above
therooflineduetoitshighercorrosion
resistance. Continue to add pipe
sections through the flashing until
the height of the flue cap meets the
minimum height requirements
specified in Dia. 4 or local codes.
Note that for steep roof pitches, the
verticalheightmustbeincreased. A
poor draft, or down drafting can
resultfromhighwindconditionsnear
big trees or adjoining roof lines, in
these cases, increasing the flue
height may solve the problem.
