Floor Protector Requirements - Pioneer Metro Installation & Owner's Operation Manual

Floor protector requirements

Floor protector requirements
Metro fireplace inserts are designed to be installed directly onto a concrete
base. The floor protector is required to project in front of the Metro and
must extend a minimum of 200mm to each side of the door opening
making the minimum floor protector width 825mm.
The floor protector must project from behind the fascia the distance
specified (I) in the table below. Minimum projection is the distance from
the front of the wall lining (behind the fascia) to the front non combustible
point of the floor protector.
ECO Trend Insert
On properties less than 2 hectares, the ECO Trend Insert must be installed
with the single speed Metro thermo fan.
The ECO Trend Insert requires an ash-hearth floor protector with
recommended construction of tiles on 6mm thick non combustible board.
The minimum floor protector projection forward of the Metro is 300mm as
detailed in the table below. Any non-combustible material fixed directly to a
combustible floor is acceptable.
LTD Trend Insert
The LTD Trend Insert requires an insulating floor protector. The forward
projection is dependent on the height of the fireplace insert above the
combustible floor. The schedule of projections listed for heights of 0mm
to 41mm+ can be achieved by the thickness of the floor protector, raising
the Insert or a combination of the two. Recommended construction is tiled
eterpan with a combined thickness as detailed in the table below.

recommended construction of tiles on 26mm thick eterpan or alternative
insulating material of equivalent insulation properties. The forward
projection detailed below (I) is dependent on the height of the fireplace
insert above the combustible floor.

The LTD Smart Insert requires an insulating floor protector with
recommended construction of tiles on 26mm thick eterpan or alternative
insulating material of equivalent insulation properties. The forward

insert above the combustible floor.
Mantel clearance
A timber or combustible mantel shelf above the fireplace Insert opening
should be a minimum distance (L) above the top of the Metro's fascia
as detailed in the table below. If the clearance is less than the minimum
specified, a deflector or heat shield will be required to be fitted under the
mantelshelf or to the top of the fascia using the relevant detail as set out in
AS/NZS 2918:2001.
