FALSE FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Framework of the installation MUST conform to local building codes. Non-combustible materials need not be
used. If the appliance is elevated from the ground within the structure, a base MUST be constructed using
suitable material with supporting joists capable of supporting a minimum of 1.5 times the weight of the appliance.
CAUTION
AS/NZS 5601 “GAS INSTALLATIONS” requires that flue components be supported independently
of the appliance.
ENCLOSURE DIMENSIONS

WARNING
§ Framing MUST include supports for the mounting of the co-linear to coaxial flue adaptor.
The co-linear flexible flue MUST NOT come into contact with ANY combustible material.
# The enclosure dimension for False Fireplace installations are larger, to make allowances for the
fitment of the zero clearance frame. The fitment of this frame is necessary to provide the required
clearances from any combustibles.
CAUTION
For clarity the consumer piping gas supply, electrical connections have been omitted, refer to
page 10 and page 11 for details. Construction details have also been simplified.
* As the heater engine is installed flush with the external surface, when preparing the cavity
the minimum depth needs to be inclusive of the external cladding thickness for false fireplace
installations. It is the installers responsibility that adequate clearance be provided between the
heater engine and any electrical connections on the inside of a masonry fireplace.
‡ Corner installations use False Fireplace enclosure dimensions and framing specifications.
NOTE
In a masonry fireplace, use a slurry of sand and cement to level the base as required. Refer to
page 19 and page 20 for “False Fireplace Elevated Installation”
