Installation requirements for Jayline IS550 fi replace insert and fl ue system, where timber framing
is less than 50mm from the chimney structure.
The installation should be carried out by a suitably qualifi ed installation technician who will ensure the
following:
* The minimum clearances determined by tests in accordance with AS/NZS 2918:2001 are complied
with to prevent overheating of nearby combustibles.
* The minimum opening size of 590mm wide x 570mm high x 481mm deep is available when the
fi rebricks are removed. These measurements exclude the 30mm insulating blanket fi tted to the
sides, back & top of the outer casing. Please make an allowance for the blanket, as it must be used
to ensure maximum effi ciency.
* If the fi replace opening is in a heat sensitive wall, a non-metallic heat resistant material shall
extend not less than 50mm beyond each side of the appliance and 150mm beyond the top of
the appliance.
* A clearance of at least 1 metre between the front of the appliance and building structure, or any
other substantial immovable object.
* The ash fl oor protector of non-combustible material is provided, extending not less than the
dimensions shown in the specifi cation sheets for this appliance.
* A fi replace shall not be connected to a fl ue common with an open fi replace.
* The fl ue pipe must be fi tted up to, and above the chimney top. The space between the fl ue pipe
and the chimney must be vented at the top. The area of this vent must not be less than 10,000mm².
The vent must be fi tted with means to prevent signifi cant water and debris from entering the cavity,
or vent area. The fl ue must be free to move up & down 25mm or more due to the expansion and
contraction of the fl ue under normal use.
* Seismic restraints consisting of two M6 x 50mm dynabolts (or equivalent) are fi tted through
the front edge of the outer cabinet base brackets, and into the masonry base below, before the
fascia is fi tted.
INSTALLATION
Establish the masonry cavity is suitable as above.
* Unpack the fi re box / outer casing and fascia and check there is no damage.
* Read the specifi cation sheets and installation instructions.
* With the top front outer case panel removed, and the door removed, slide the fi re box / outer case
into the prepared cavity and centralise (including the outer case insulating blanket).
* Ensure the folded edges of the outer case are fl ush with the front of the cavity, allowing for any
fi breglass seal that may be required as an air seal between the fascia and masonry.
* The S/S fl ue pipes must be sealed & fastened with at least 3 x S/S rivets each (follow the fl ue
manufacturer’s instructions) .
* Lower the fl ue system down the cavity and into the fl ue spigot using a hi-temp sealant (an off set
may be required in some cases).
* Drill and secure the fl ue pipe into the fl ue spigot using a S/S self-tapping screw.
* Re-check the outer case is still fl ush with the front of the cavity, then drill & secure the seismic
restraints as above.
