Le Flare See Through 45 peut-il être installé sous un téléviseur ?

Oui, lorsque l’installation respecte le manuel et la gestion de chaleur Cool Touch Wall, qui permet de réduire la chaleur en façade pour abaisser le téléviseur plus près du foyer. Les schémas de montage TV et exigences de rejets/chaleur sont détaillés par Flare; toujours suivre le manuel d’installation et la configuration de heat-release recommandée.

Quel type de ventilation est requis ?

Le ST-45 est un foyer à évent direct (système coaxial scellé). La fiche technique liste un raccord 4×6 en configuration naturelle, et 3×5 avec power vent. Le manuel couvre les parcours, terminaisons horizontales/verticales et les dégagements au conduit. Un installateur qualifié doit valider le tracé sur place.

Quelle est la puissance et l’efficacité énergétique ?

La puissance d’entrée maximale est de 36 000 BTU/h en gaz naturel (GN) et 28 000 BTU/h en propane (PL). Le fabricant annonce une efficacité jusqu’à 82 % (GN) / 83 % (PL). Les performances réelles varient selon la configuration, le réglage et la qualité d’évacuation.

Quelles garanties et certifications s’appliquent au Québec ?

Flare indique une certification CSA pour l’installation en Amérique du Nord. La garantie prévoit 18 mois sur l’électronique, 5 ans sur les vitrages (bris thermique) et 10 ans limités sur la boîte foyère et les brûleurs. Au Québec, l’installation du gaz doit respecter le Code CSA B149.1 et le manuel du fabricant.
