3.6 Seismic Restraint

The Rakaia burner must be seismically restrained, including the floor protector.  The figure below gives the holes
that can be pre-drilled  on the floor protector with respect to the flue center.  We recommend a minimum size of
8mm DynaBolts on the concrete floor or 8mm coach screws or toggle fasteners for wooden floors of appropriate
length.   Two holes are located at the rear of the burner.
