5 mm each). The brackets (2x5 mm) are necessary to compensate the initial width of the trim.
STEP 8: FIRST LENGTH OF FLUE
Place the first single skin length of flue (with no crimp ends) around the outside of the spigot. You may also use a heat
resistance sealant (i.e.Firecork) to seal any air gaps. Before installing the remaining lengths of flue please continue to the
next step.
STEP 9: SIDE WALLS & VENTILATION
**IMPORTANT**
Ventilation is required on the enclosure to assist with air circulation. A minimum of two air intake grills are
required at the bottom and a minimum of two air out-take grills are required on top of the masonry enclosure (2X
inflow 2X outflow). All vents can be positioned either side OR the front of the masonry enclosure. ALL vents must
adhere to the minimum vent size of size 300cm2.
Using masonry (ie. clay bricks) build a layer of bricks from the base to the top of the ceiling on either side of the firebox.
Remember to leave a minimum 25mm air gap on all edges.
*The vent sizes and quantity can be adapted and changed BUT they must meet the minimum ventilation
requirements as specified above. For custom made vents please contact your nearest dealer. ALL VENTS MUST

*All air vents must have a minimum clearance to combustibles of 600mm in front and 300mm above the metal vent itself.
STEP 10: CAVITY LID
**IMPORTANT** SIDE VENTS
It is highly recommended the cavity lid be installed flat to ensure sufficient air flow around the appliance if 2 vents are used.
FRONT VENTS
It is highly recommended the cavity lid be installed on an angle of 15° facing the front of the fireplace to ensure sufficient air flow around the
appliance.
The cavity lid must be installed 300mm below the ceiling and is comprised of the following; minimum 0.5mm thick steel plate
for support, followed by a 12mm thick heat resistant sheet, with 1 x 25mm Rockwool sheet. A hole is to be cut in the centre of
the lid in order for the single skin flue to penetrate through tightly. You may also use a heat resistance sealant (i.e. Firecork) and
heat proof tape to seal any air gaps. Please ensure the cavity lid is fully sealed to all edges.

a 3m diameter clearance from the top of the cowl to any objects in a horizontal direction.
STEP 14: FRONT OF THE ENCLOSURE
The front of the enclosure can now be fitted with masonry bricks, or a layer of 12mm minimum thick heat resistant sheet.
Remember to keep an air gap of 25mm from the front of the unit.
STEP 15: HEARTH (FLOOR PROTECTOR)
The hearth must be constructed from masonry or a non combustible material and must extend 500mm in front of the
appliance, 250mm on either side of the appliance and have a thickness of 75mm.
12
Triple skin flue is to then be continued on top of the cavity lid. The lower end of the triple skin casing shall be
close fitting against the lid and the outer casing must be ventilated. Air vents on the first length of triple skin
