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 fire-
place should be of the same cross-section size as the pipe stub of the fireplace. Hori-
zontal 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 40 cm kept between the connection pieces of
the fireplace and combustible materials in the building. Provided that the interconnect-
ing pieces have a non-combustible coating of minimum 2 cm, the distance from com-
bustible 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.
Smaller distances to combustible materials are permissible if it is ensured that at the
rated performance of the fireplace the temperature cannot rise over 85° C at the com-
bustible equipment and furnishings.
WARNING:
The connection of the fireplace to the chimney is not permissible if the effective height
of the chimney is less than 4 m, or 5 m with multiple loading (see the details of chim-
ney calculations on page 36).
To the chimney that the fireplace uses, a maximum of two other fireplaces, ovens may
be connected.
