Floor in front of and under the fireplace
Floors made from combustible materials, such as carpets, parquet floors or cork is to be
protected by a shield of non-combustible material – for example ceramics, stone, glass
or steel – placed under the fireplace so that it should reach out to 50 cm in front and 30
cm besides.
2.4 Connection of the fireplace
WARNING:
Before connecting the fireplace to the chimney, seek advice from the competent
chimney sweeper!
The connecting elements should be attached to the equipment and to each other in a
properly sealed and stable manner. They may not hang into the unobstructed cross-
section of the chimney. The interconnecting piece between the chimney and the
fireplace should be of the same cross-section size as the pipe stub of the fireplace.
Horizontal connecting pieces should ascend to the chimney in 10°. Pipes that are not
heat-protected or not led vertically may not be longer than 1 m.
There should be a minimum distance of 50 cm kept between the connection pieces of
the fireplace and combustible materials in the building. Provided that the interconnecting
pieces have a non-combustible coating of minimum 2 cm, the distance from
combustible materials may be at least 10 cm. If the interconnecting pieces are led
through equipment or furnishing made from combustible materials, they have to be
covered with a protecting tube made from any non-combustible material in a distance of
at least 20 cm, or they have to be coated with any non-combustible material with low
heat conductance in a minimum range of 20 cm.
