B2 Flue Configuration (If less than 4m flue length is required): A If your flue system is less than 4m long (as shown in diagrams below), then a simple aluminium flexible flue is required. If you wish to install a longer flue run, up to 12m, see section B3. Horizontally Terminated: (utilises the escea horizontal power flue enclosure kit) B The horizontal offset of the terminal can be any amount up to the total flue length listed below.
Overall flue length: B A 400mm Min. 4m Max. C Vertically Terminated: (utilises the escea vertical power flue enclosure kit) D 1.
B3 Flue Configuration (If more than 4m flue length is required): A If your flue system is greater than 4m long (as shown in diagrams below), then a flexible flue with condensate trap and rigid PP tube flue lengths is required. For further information and detail on PolyPro (Rigid) flue and condensate traps, see the documentation supplied with the flue components. 1.
The cavity shape is dependent on the fascia type. There are four fascia types available with the DL850 and DL1100: Quadrato Lite Quadrato Cavity for Velo, Quadrato or Quadrato Lite Fascia B Rado The Velo, Quadrato and Quadrato Lite fascias sit proud of the finished wall surface and have a simple cavity shape. The cavity may be constructed from combustible materials. The Rado fascia sits flush with, or inset from, the finished wall surface and has a more complex cavity shape.
775 Downward Flue 565 Vertical or side Flue A B Cavity Base: B6 Hearth: C B5 This appliance MUST be fully supported on its base. The base must extend over the entire area of the underside of the appliance. The base must also be levelled to prevent vibration from possible fan imbalance. The base of the cavity must be strong enough to support the total product weight, which is approximately 65kg (DL850) and 80kg (DL1100), depending on fuel bed.
A VELO / QUADRATO / QUADRATO LITE B The front mounting flanges of the appliance must be on top of the finished wall surface in order for the fascia panels to mount properly. Take into account Plasterboard any plaster board, tiles or any other finishing surface that may be intended for the finished wall surface. Wall finishing materials must not encroach upon the Wall Finish minimum cavity clearances given in section 2.2.
B9 Television Clearances: A The following are the recommended minimum clearances for the location of any electrical equipment (such as Plasma TV, LCD TV or home theatre) above an Escea DL Series gas fire. Use either a shelf or mantle below your TV screen or alternatively you can construct a recess to mount your TV screen into. B C Note: The above television clearance recommendations are to be treated as a suggestion of a suitable installation only.
Installing the Electricity and Gas to the Appliance A Power Supply: IMPORTANT: Locating the power outlet within the cavity makes the installation very neat but the provision MUST be made to be able to switch the power supply off and on (electrical isolation switch) and MUST be accessible after the heater has been installed. This is normally done by means of a separate switch which must be located adjacent to the appliance as per AS/NZS 5601.1.2010.
C3 Gas Pipe Sizing: A Gas pipe should be sized as per the requirements of AS/NZS 5601.
Installing the flue For Horizontally terminated flue, see section D1. For Vertically terminated flue, see section D5. Horizontal Powerflue Description B Note: The appliance is designed only to operate using the approved flexible or PolyPro flue supplied by Escea.
