Defines requirements for components which, when assembled in accordance with BS 8303, form the setting for inset open fires of nominal sizes 400 mm and 450 mm.

This British Standard specifies requirements for components which, when assembled in accordance with BS8303 , form the setting for inset open fires of nominal sizes 400mm and 450mm (see Figure1). Clause 3 specifies requirements for firebacks for inset open fires without boilers or underfloor air supply used with solid fuel. Clause 4 specifies requirements for prefabricated fireplace surrounds and hearths and excludes constructional hearths at floor level (see Figure1). Clause 5 specifies requirements for precast, reinforced concrete throat-forming lintels, excluding those designed to form part of a complete appliance. NOTE1 Lintels conforming to this British Standard are suitable for use as load-bearing supports for brickwork. NOTE2 Requirements for fireguards are specified in BS8423 .
