General
Before installation of this product please read these instructions fully.
It is very important to also understand the requirements of the UK Building Regulations (England and Wales – Document J / Scotland - Part F), along with any local regulations, and working practices that may apply. Should any conflict occur between these instructions and these regulations then the regulations shall apply.
All electrical connections should meet the requirements of UK Building Regulations (England and Wales – Document P / Scotland - Part N).
Your local Building Control Office would be happy to advise should questions arise, regarding the requirements of the regulations.
The fireplace should be fitted by a HETAS (GB only) registered installer, or approved by your local building control officer. Your Stovax dealer should be able to arrange this service for you.
Any gas appliance installation completed in conjunction with the fireplace must be completed by a CORGI registered gas engineer, in accordance with the manufactures installation instructions. Your Stovax dealer should be able to arrange this service for you.
Your building insurance company may also require you to inform them that you have installed a new heating appliance, so check with your insurers that your cover is still valid after installing the fireplace.
When completing the installation and building works you should comply with your responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Acts, and any new regulations, which may be introduced during the lifetime of these instructions.
A faulty installation could cause danger to the inhabitants and structure of the building.
Hearth
The constructional and superimposed hearth must meet the requirements of the Building Regulations for the fire and surround to be fitted.
Flue
The flue system should meet the requirements of the Building Regulations for the fire to be fitted and the fuel to be used.
The flue exit from the building should be positioned to comply with the requirements of the Building Regulations.
Any existing flue should be confirmed as suitable for the new intended use, as defined in the Building Regulations.
Any existing flue or chimney system must be inspected and swept by a NACS registered (UK only) chimney sweep, to confirm that the system is structurally sound and free from any obstructions.
Suitable access should be provided to enable the collection and removal of debris.
Provision should be made to sweep and inspect the flue when the appliance is installed.
No other heating appliances should be connected to, or share, the same flue or chimney system.
Check the flue draught. This should be done with all windows and doors closed and any extraction fans in this or adjoining rooms running at maximum speed.

Where a hearth, fireplace, flue or chimney is provided or extended (including cases where a flue 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 fireplaces are different it is not possible to give full details of the construction of the fireplace opening. But this should be constructed using ‘best practice’ construction methods using suitable non-combustible materials.
Additional ventilation
If the fireplace 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 fire to be fitted 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 fitting of the fireplace until they have been rectified.
Dimensions
Fitting optional insert panel (8904)
The insert panel is fitted to the back of the main front panel using the 4 fixing screws supplied. This will then allow fitting of both Stovax and Gazco 16” products.
