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.

The constructional and superimposed hearth must meet the 

requirements of the Building Regulations for the fire and 

surround to be fitted.

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).

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.

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.

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.
