Page: 8 / 16

FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE KENT LOGFIRE II AND RATA
WOOD FIRES INTO A WALL CAVITY.
This product has been designed and manufactured to comply with
the requirements of AS/NZS2918:2001 for safe installation of a Kent
Logfire II and Rata into a wall cavity instead of a masonry fireplace or
chimney. It is important that these instructions are followed exactly,
and that no substitutions are made for components supplied with
the kit, or material listed. It is suitable only for the Kent Logfire II and
Rata models manufactured beginning 2006. It is not suitable for older
models of Kent Logfire or other brand fires.
INBUILT ZERO CLEARANCE BOX INSTALLATION
Note:
Timber framing to have a minimum clearance of
30mm on the sides, rear and top.
Note:
9mm eterpan facing panel to have a
minimum clearance of 30mm on the sides
and to be set 3mm up from the top of the
inbuilt box.
FIG. 6
The Kent Inbuilt box must be installed onto a concrete slab with a minimum thickness
of 59mm, and must be a minimum of 785mm wide and 640mm deep behind the face
of the wall, with an additional 360mm forward of the wall face to allow for the front
clearance once installed.
Timber framing around the Inbuilt box must have a minimum clearance of 30mm
between it and the outer surface of the Inbuilt box. Frame up an opening in the wall that
is 800mm wide and 710mm above the original floor line (660mm above the top surface
of the concrete floor protector).
A 9mm eterpan facing panel 950mm wide x 1200mm high minimum from the original
floor level (minimum size) must then be fitted against the front of the wall framing, this is in
place of the standard Gib lining. There must be an opening in the facing panel to give a
3mm minimum gap between the inner perimeter of this panel and the top of the Inbuilt
box and 30mm either side of the inbuilt box.
Once the framing and heat rated facing board are in place, slide the Inbuilt box into
position, with its front edge level with the face of the wall. Secure it into position with
screws or DYNABOLTS® using the angle brackets attached to the inside front of each
side of the Inbuilt box. See Fig 6.
