If installation is into a 

BUILT-IN CANOPY

: Construct the canopy box as per page 7.  

Ensure the holes for the wetback pipework are predrilled into the built-in canopy 
following the instructions in the Aqualux Built-In Canopy conversion kit. Install into 
framework following guides on pages 8-14 as applicable. 

 

Slide the firebox into the opening so that the outer casing return folds are flush 

 

with the finished fire surround. 

 

DUE TO NEW ZEALAND BEING AN EARTHQUAKE PRONE COUNTRY, IT IS 
IMPORTANT TO ANCHOR THE INSERT DOWN IN CASE OF EARTH 
MOVEMENT.  See diagram page 18 showing Typical Insert Installation. 

 

Make pipework connections to the wetback following the guide in Section 6 Wetback 
(page 19) and test.  

 

When installed into Built-in Canopy ensure pipework is sealed as per the instructions 
in the Aqualux Built-in Canopy conversion kit. 

 

Install Flue as per instructions on page 20 and 21 if installing in a masonry fireplace 
or page 8,9,10,11,12, 15 if using a  Built-in fire canopy (zero clearance box). 

 

Now that the firebox and flue are in position, 

place 25mm white kaowool blanket

 

(supplied) on top of casing

 

As this fire sources its combustion air from the chimney cavity/enclosure, the fire 
MUST be sealed around the front between the casing and the masonry or inbuilt 
canopy.  This is achieved by packing the yellow ISB insulation supplied between the 
casing and the masonry or inbuilt canopy at the FRONT ONLY to maximum depth of 
90mm.   

 
 

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE AIRPORTS ON THE 
SIDE OF THE HEATER BE RESTRICTED.  Refer diagram page 18. 

 
 

The fire sources its combustion air from the chimney cavity, not from the 
room where the fire is installed.  This ventilation air should be drawn down 
the chimney cavity from the air gap set up when the top spacer bracket holds 
the weather collar off from the outer flue casing enabling air to be drawn into 
the chimney cavity.  Failure to ensure this air supply will starve the fire of air 
and lead to poor performance. 

 
 
NOTE:  In the case of some insert fires into existing masonry fireplaces it may be necessary 

to install additional adventitious ventilation into the chimney cavity as per AS/NZ 
2918 3.4.1.2 to assist air flow into the fire..  This ventilation should not be 
taken/drawn from the room that the fire is installed in. 

 

Assemble and fit the fascia as per instructions on page 22.
