Installation Manual

Zero Clearance Casing Dimensions

Timber framing guide

Front Elevation
Frame Opening of 1300mm wide x 1470mm high x 550mm deep

Floor Protection Requirements
The unit must be installed on a 6mm thick compressed board, minimum floor protection required below the unit is 550mm deep x 1240mm wide x 6mm thick. The floor protection must also project out in front of the unit 300mm x 1230mm wide with the unit positioned centered on the floot protectin right and left and 50mm forward from the back edge.

Side Elevation
50mm rear wall clearance required from combustible materials
300mm clearance above & 100mm either side fireplace to combustible materials

Please Note – Light coloured wall paints may discolour over time due to heat darker colours are recommended if the fireplace wall is to be a painted finish
Wall finishing
Wall Cladding to be minimum 9mm CFC sheeting or similar non-combustible material.
DO NOT overlap the 6mm firebox. Only cover the zero clearance casing with finishing material and leave a 3-5mm gap to the firebox.
Do not exceed 12mm finishing material over the face of the zero clearance case as it will interupt the normal use of the door handle.
For finishing materials exceeding a 12mm depth, use the optional 50mm surround as a shadow line and finish thicker materials outside of it. Tile edge (not provided) may be desired.

300mm clearance above & 100mm either side fireplace to combustible materials
Please Note – Light coloured painted wall finishes may discolour due to heat darker colours recommended if a painted finished is required.

Zero Clearance Casing

Assembly
Included items

Base:
Long Rails (1100mm) x 4
Medium Rails (500mm) x 4
Short Rails (375mm) x 4
Casing:
Top Panel x 1
Bottom Panel x 1
Side Panels x 2
Rear Panel x 1
Center Support Bracing x 1
Rear Stand-off Bracket x 1
Firebox Support Brackets x 2

Constructing the base stand
Step 1.
Take 2 of the short rails (375mm) and 2 of the medium rails (500mm) align the holes and secure with self tapping screws t create an end frame. The medium length rails face the outside with the short rails being fixed to the back of the medium rails. Once you have completed the first end frame, repeat the above steps to complete the final end panel.

Step 2.
In order to complete the base, join the long rails (1100mm) to each corner of the finished end frames, align the screw holes and fix with self tapping screws. Once you have completed the top two rails, turn the frame over and repeat the process for the lower long rails to complete the base.

Building on from base
Step 3.
Locate the base panel and secure the center support as well as both heater support rails to the base panel using self tapping screws. Secure base panel to base frame using self tapping screws locate and secure the side panels to the base panels with self tapping screws ensuring the side panels are inside the base panel folds.

Building the casing
Step 4.
Slide the back panel into place, the back panel will sit inside the base panel fold and on the outside of the side panels. Once in place, secure loosly until the top panel has been fitted to allow for adjustment. Secure rear wall spacer to the back panel in the pre-drilled holes Step 5.
Position top panel in place and align holes as required, tighten back panel screws then remove the top panel to be fitted off at a later stage once the firebox has been positioned inside the casing Step 6.
There are several tabs located on the lower rails which secure the base to the casing to provide additional support, Fold tabs up 180 degrees and secure to the casing with self tapping screws.

Inserting the firebox
Step 5.
Position the zero clearance assembly inside the wall cavity, once the casing is positioned check level and ensuring positioning is flush with the wall framing. Secure to the lower rails to the floor using appropriate fixing methods for the flooring material.
Before preparing to insert firebox into the zero clearance casing, please ensure both heat exchange vents are capped as pictured below (pre-2021 units only). Caps have been deleted on current series units. Step 6.
Position the firebox inside the zero clearance casing, due to the weight of the firebox (220kg), it is highly recommended to remove as much weight as possible from the unit (bricks, baffle and glass door) and use mechanical lifting aids.
Leaving the top panel off allows for the use of mechanical lifting aids to help position the firebox inside the casing / wall cavity. Applying grease or similar to the lower support brackets will aid in sliding the firebox into the casing.

Fule assembly
Step 7.
Once the firebox is positioned inside the zero clearance casing, fit the top panel on the casing and secure with self tapping screws.
Step 8.
The flue requires stand-off brackets which are included with the kit, position the standoff brackets as pictured below. The brackets are secured to the 10” flue pipe using self tapping screws or rivets. The 8” flue pipe and brackets pass through the casing and rest on the top of the firebox, The brackets will stand the 8” flue pipe off the top of the firebox. Step 9.
Position the 10” flue pipe over both the 8” flue pipe and brackets. The 10” flue pipe will rest on the second tier of stand-off brackets as pictured below. The 10” flue can be secured to the brackets using self tapping screws or rivets.

Step 10.
Once the 10” and 8” flues are secured together using self-tapping screws or rivets, position the flue pipes on top of the zero clearance casing and lower into position. The brackets will locate the flue crrectly, the first step of the bracket will stand the flue off fro the firebox. Using a suitable heat resistant sealant, seal the 8” flue pipe to the zero clearance casing as marked below in blue. The second step on the flue bracket will stand the 10” flue pipe off the zero clearance casing as shown below.

Finishing the install
Step 11.
Once the flue has been positioned and sealed to the top of the zero clearance casing, lower the 6” Stainless flue pipe down inside the 8” flue pipe and seat fully on the top of the fireplace flue spigot. Continue to run the three layers of flue in accordance with AS/ NZS 2918.2018.

Step 12.
Clad the fireplace wall using a suitable non-combustible rated cladding material (page 4 & 5 for specs).
DO NOT overlap the 6mm firebox. Only cover the zero clearance casing with finishing material and leave a 3-5mm gap to the firebox.
Note: Optional 50mm finishing surround available.
Surround fits to inner edge of 6mm outer firebox and suits facing material up to max 12mm.
For finishing materials exceeding a 12mm depth, use the optional 50mm surround as a shadow line and finish thicker materials outside of it. Tile edge (not provided) may be desired.
NB: The glass front door is designed to finish in-line with the zero clearance case and not the finishing material
