LPG gas fire - hearth requirements

[Adrian Tooke]

Hello, hope i am posting this in the correct forum, first post too please be kind!

Hi can anyone help, i'm of the understanding that manf instructions over rule regs. Gazco require a hearth on a gas letterbox style fire of 100mm depth, 150mm either side of fire minimum of 50mm. Can you tell me of any company who will allow me to put wood flooring up to the wall. Plan to put fire approx 400mm above ffl. Can anyone tell me a company who don't require a hearth.

Second im trying to find a duplex open (no glass) LPG fire using stainless steel flue to roof any recommendations would be appreciated, finding it really difficult so far.

Thanking you in advance.

Take it you cant find anything in Gibraltar? Whats the regs out there with regard to gas safe engineers?

Hello SimonG, Gas safe does not exist here. Just need to be competent. Can you help regards post above?

Have you tried any of the specialist fire suppliers? We have one near us called John Willets, but thats in the North East. Could google companys and then see if they will ship to you.

Don't think you'll find any that recommends fitting wood (combustable material) directly under a gas fire
Iirc laminate floor isn't (or wasn't) classed as combustable and can be used
But as always, manufacterers guidelines are god

Thanks jonnyswamp Any ideas regarding tunnel / double sided LPG fire without glass ?

You won't find a double sided fire without glass on at least one side. Try DRU
