Summary of Clearances
Minimum recommended side clearances to non-
combustible surfaces 125 mm (5”).
Minimum recommended rear clearance to noncom-
bustible surfaces 50 mm (2”).
NOTE: The minimum thickness of solid noncombus-
tible materials is specified in section 2 of Document ‘J’,
in relation to the clearance of the appliance from the
surface. As a general rule, the thickness of solid non-
combustible material forming the recess of a fireplace is
a minimum of 200 mm.
Minimum rear clearance from combustible walls
(e.g. timber framed or studded walls) 610 mm (24”)
measured from the rear edge of the stove top. (Fig.
11, B)
Minimum side clearance from combustible walls
610 mm (24”) measured from the side edge of the

Connecting Flue Pipe - Clearances
Single wall connecting fluepipes can reach extremely
high temperatures; therefore, clearances from the con-
necting fluepipe (chimney connector) must comply with
the requirements of Part J of Building Regulations 2000
(Combustion Appliances and Fuel Storage Systems).
This can be achieved by following the recommenda-
tions of Approved Document ‘J’. These are as shown in
Figure 12.
