Zero Clearance - Timber Construction

Installation Instructions

1 Base and hearth

a) The hearth and the base beneath the Jetmaster must be made of non-combustible
materials. The thickness of the base is as follows:

b) Position unit on finished hearth level. Ensure air intakes at bottom front of unit are not
obstructed.

2 Flues

a) Rivet stainless steel flue at each joint. Fit inner casings to
spigot and join with three 25 mm self-tapping screws thereby maintaining air gap. Fit
outer casings to outer spigot. If flue is to be left exposed terminate outer casing
1000mm above ceiling line. Ensure that flues are ventilated top and bottom.

b) Use minimum 3.6 metres flue. See chart “Minimum Flue Heights for Open Fireplaces”
to determine exact flue requirements.

c) Maintain a minimum clearance between outer flue and combustible materials of 50mm.

d) Provide flashing where flue penetrates roof and fit cowl.

3 Framing

a) Construct timber frame, laying studs at face of fireplace on edge.
b) Select framing sizes from Figure 2. These measurements allow for 25mm clearance
from combustible frame and a raised hearth of 100mm.
c) Keep clearance from top of unit 50mm.
d) Note that depth requirements vary with the use of a cast iron fascia.
e) Overall frame width will be determined by size of selected mantelpiece.

4 Plaster

a) Unit must be installed and flue run PRIOR to plastering.
b) The Zero Clearance casing has a location channel for plaster to slot into. This may be
the final chosen finish.
c) With a cast iron fascia, cut the plaster around the fascia. Keep the face of the plaster
and the fascia flush to fit the mantel.

OPEN GAS FIREPLACE - Minimum Flue Clearances*

The Flue Terminal shall be
located so that wind from
any direction is not likely
to create a downdraught
in the flue. A Flue Cowl,
AGA approved to AS4566
(AG604) must be fitted to
the end of the flue pipe.
The minimum flue length
must not be shorter than

3.5 metres. Maintain a
minimum of 500mm from
the bottom of the flue
cowl to the nearest part
of the roof if the flue cowl
is at least 510mm from a
neighbouring structure. If
less than 510mm, the flue
terminal must be located
at least 500mm above that
structure. Refer to AS5601

- 2004 (AG601) sections

5.13.6.2 and 5.13.6.4 to
ensure that the location
of the flue terminal fully
complies for installations
with a trafficable roof, a
chimney, another flue
terminal or near any
openings into a building.

OPEN GAS JETMASTER

●

An approved gas cowl must be fitted to the top of the flue or chimney.

●

All open gas fires require fixed fresh vents in the room. See page 10 for

ventilation requirements.

●

Air movement systems A decorative gas log fire must not be installed where
the operation of any ventilation system, fan or air blower could under any
circumstances cause the air pressure to be less than atmostpheric at the
appliance, or otherwise adversely affect the operation of the appliance.

●

Do not block or restrict chimney or flue opening.

●

After installing the appliance, check that the chimney/flue system draws well.

●

Jetmaster recommends that all gas fires be serviced every 2 years.

●

All gas units must be fitted by a licensed gas fitter.

●

It is the responsibility of the gas fitter to follow the regulations set out in the
Gas Code that dictate the procedures to follow when installing a gas
appliance, particularly regarding gas pipe sizing and checking of pressures.
(see summary page)

●

For installation of the gas burner, see instruction manual supplied with gas
burner.

Appendix F Sizing Consumer Piping

- New Consumer Piping Systems

When sizing a new consumer piping system, consideration should be given to
foreseeable future needs.

- Existing Consumer Piping Systems

When an additional appliance is to be connected to an existing consumer piping
system, the existing piping, metre and regulator should be checked to ensure that
adequate capacity is available for the additional load.

- Information Required Prior To Pipe Sizing

The following information is required prior to pipe sizing:

a. The type of gas, including the heating value and relative density.
b. The gas consumption of each appliance.
c. An allowance, if any, where there is a probability that not all appliances will be
used at the same time.
d. The pressure available at the start of the consumer piping.
e. The allowable pressure drop shall be such as to ensure that at least the
minimum inlet pressure required by the appliance is available at the
appliance.
f. The proposed layout of the consumer piping system including all pipe lengths
and the location of each appliance.

NOTE: See tables in this appendix

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

For wood burning Jetmaster

Your JETMASTER fireplace is designed not to smoke and by following a few
instructions you will achieve optimum heat output, convenience and fuel
economy.

Please note that the rst re could result in a few odours coming from
the rebox. Do not be alarmed. This is not unusual when rst using a
metal nished product and will soon cease.

LIGHTING A FIRE

1. Using a number of crumpled sheets of newspaper, some kindling and a
few small split logs arrange your fire in a “Teepee tent” style.

2. With the tool provided, fully open the DAMPER by pulling the control lever
towards you. (Not always applicable with Double Sided Firebox.)

3. Light the fire at both ends as well as at the centre.

4. When the kindling and small split logs are burning well, start to build up
your fire with larger

split logs.

5. When the fire is well established you can start closing the Damper. The
amount you can close it will depend on the type of wood used and the
general weather conditions. Experience will soon show you how far; how­ever, the damper should never be closed more than half way.

6. When the fire has gone out completely, you can close the Damper fully
thus preventing any loss of heat from the room up the chimney.

CLEANING

1. The Jetmaster Log Pan is designed to give greater heat and fuel effi­ciency. For the duration of the cold season the Log Pan should never be
emptied. The resulting bed of ash and coals from previous fires will soon
become a heatbank generating more heat than the burning logs. This
ashbed also insulates and greatly extends the life of the Log Pan. This is
why an ashbed must be maintained at all times.

When the level of the ashbed becomes too high, the top layer can be

removed. Depending on frequency of use and quality of wood, this
skimming procedure should not be required more than once or twice a
Season!

2. To prevent chimney fires as well as enabling the chimney to draw properly,
the chimney/flue should be swept at least once a season, subject to the
quality of timber used in the fire.

OPEN WOOD JETMASTER

11

The visible parts of your Jetmaster can be cleaned with a damp cloth or soft
brush. Should you wish you could repaint the unit with a heat resistant paint.

Safety

The Jetmaster is a safety-tested unit. However, you must never leave an open
fire unguarded. Jetmaster has a screen that is designed to prevent sparks leav­ing the fireplace and very resistant to being accidentally knocked over by young
children.

Fuels

1. Medium density woods are preferred for open fireplaces. Softer woods (Pines
etc) burn fast, leaving a lot of ash and creosote. Hard woods (Red Gum etc)
can be best used when mixed with medium woods and should not be used to
start a fire.

2. A split log will burn better than a full log.

3. Wood should be stored (seasoned) in a dry ventilated area for at least 12
months. “Green” wood can have 50% moisture, which results in a very poor
heat emission. Box woods (e.g. Grey Box and Yellow Box) are highly recom­mended as they produce fine coals.

Burning well seasoned medium density wood is the most important step

towards achieving optimum results from your JETMASTER!
