IC-4 due to low/zero air transfer requirements, is generally recommended for unventilated roof spaces, like skillion/compact and Passive House roofs.

3.8
INSULATION CLEARANCES - GENERALLY

Insulation may need to have a gap to some mechanical and electrical services and equipment, including ducts and chimneys.  The gaps should be to the NZS 4246 based tables below or to the equipment manufacturer requirements if they require larger gaps.  Smaller gaps to manufacturer requirements can be used for equipment specifically manufactured with heat shielding or similar (excludes light fittings).  Installed gap not to be more than 50mm bigger than the required gap.

The following tables are subject to:

  • The requirements of NZS 4246.
  • The insulation is exposed to the source of heat or equipment etc.
  • Insulation, has passed the needle flame test to AS/NZS 60695.11.5 and/or is non-combustible.
  • Gaps to hot surfaces may have to be increased with non-compliant insulation and plastic/polymeric type insulation (EPS, XPS, PIR, etc), check with insulation manufacturer.
  • Gaps to hot surfaces may be able to be reduced with non-combustible insulation, check with equipment manufacturer.
  • "Secure insulation" if required means, glue, mechanical fix, or provide fixed barriers at gap edge of insulation to hold in place.  Rigid or semi rigid insulation may only need a firm friction fit (secure loose pieces).
