Clearances & Installation
Ensure that the mouth of the ame is positioned a minimum of 1500mm [59.1in] away from curtains,
ammable materials, and other sources of ignition. Be aware of drafts. The oor must be level and the Burner
positioned on a at surface. The Burner must only be placed into non-combustible materials and must be
installed in accordance with the outlined safety requirements and clearances. Please send drawings to your
local representative to conrm the setting complies with the manufacturer’s requirements prior to installation.
Burner Clearances
EcoSmart Fire Burners can be installed into two (2) types of settings:
A.Those that are encased by non-combustible materials similar to that
which you would nd in a traditional masonry set-up. We refer to this
installation type as “WITHIN A FIREBOX SETTING”
B.Those that are not encased by non-combustible materials and set
up in a more modern setting without sides or a top. We refer to this
installation type as “WITHOUT A FIREBOX SETTING”

The VB2 burner is specially designed as a ‘drop-in’ burner system to a purpose-built, existing or new,
according to the manufacturers instructions before inserting the burner.
NOTE: The burner is not approved for independent installation under C-UL US.
Custom made reboxes must:
- Be made out of a non-combustible material such as stainless steel
- Be constructed to accommodate a Top Tray
- Have built in spacers of 20mm [0.8in] on all sides to ensure that it does not sit directly against any
combustible materials and an air gap is incorporated for insulation around the box construction. The use of
insulation wool is permitted.
The Fire Company Pty Ltd recommends using the Burner in a Firebox manufactured by The Fire Company
Pty Ltd only. The Fire Company Pty Ltd is not liable for any injuries or damages sustained through the use
of custom made or privately commissioned Fireboxes.
Clearances & Installation
- Installed after all gas connections or pipelines in the area are
disconnected and made safe by an appropriately qualied and
licensed professional
- Installed and operated in a xed and secure position before lling,
lighting and operating. Burners are not meant to be moved because
movement creates the risk of accidental fuel spillages. If you move
the Burner, make sure no fuel was spilled before you ignite the
Burner.
- Models from each range (Grate/Firebox Inserts/Designer/Outdoor)
have varied installation requirements. Refer to the specic section of
the manual for the detailed requirements of the model purchased.
The best location for your EcoSmart Fire is:
- In a large, open space at least 1500mm [59.1in] away from any
combustible materials, such as curtains, wallpaper, veneer, etc.
- On a level oor – the oor can be made of any material.
- In a rebox made of non-combustible materials, such as steel,
concrete, brick, or stone.
- Positioned so that any accumulation of weather debris/pooling of
water is eliminated.
- NOT INSTALLED DIRECTLY BESIDE OR NEAR WALLPAPER,
LAMINATE, VENEER OR ANY SURFACE THAT HAS NOT BEEN
FIRE RATED (THE HEAT WILL IMPACT THE MATERIAL). REFER TO
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION OF WALLPAPER, LAMINATE, VENEER
OR GLUE FOR HEAT TOLERANCES.
- Installed into a setting that has a straight back – the incorporation of
angled backs alters the aerodynamics of the ame environment and
could lead to an unstable ame behaviour.
- Fitted within a Top Tray that is not more than 200% the size of the
total Burner size.
Please note that:
- Any furniture items or ttings directly above or beside the Burner
installation must be deemed suitable for heat tolerances by
their manufacturer e.g. electronic items including screens and
entertainment equipment, wallpaper, laminates, veneers, glues and
reconstituted materials.
- A heat reective panel made of non-combustible material (ideally
stainless steel) must be installed as the surround and top of the
replace setting to assist in heat distribution. The Fire Company Pty
Ltd is not liable for any injuries or damages sustained through the
use of panels not manufactured by The Fire Company Pty Ltd.
- Glass or mirrored surfaces near the Burner installation must be
toughened.
- If inserting an Burner into an existing masonry replace, adjust the
damper within the existing replace in order to keep the heat from
escaping through the ue.
or approvals from building authorities may be required. Please
ensure you contact the appropriate parties before installing your
EcoSmart Fire.
WARNING! FIRE HAZARD. DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES,
(THE AREA BETWEEN THE FIREBOX AND THE SPACER) WITH
INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS. THE AIR SPACES ARE NEEDED
FOR PROPER VENTILATION OF THE BURNER.
FIRE SCREENS
If installing a re screen into your setting there must be a 40mm [1.6in]
gap between the burner platform and the under side of the glass
edge to enable air circulation around the burner. This assists with fuel
eciency, burner temperature and ame quality.
Installation
There are many dierent variations available for installing the Burner.
In all cases, the Burner must be:
- Installed into non-combustible material ONLY, such as stainless
steel, concrete, brick and stone
Environmental Conditions

materials and other sources of ignition at all times. Pay very close
a result of wind and drafts.
paper and the like.
The base of the burner within the model must never come into direct
contact with ammable materials.
Side clearances to xed and stable furniture items that are not
susceptible to movement such as lounges or patio furniture must remain
a minimum of 600mm [23.6in] away from the ame at all times.
Overhead clearances to items that are susceptible to movement
(e.g. Curtains/Trees) must remain a minimum of:
- Indoors: 1500mm [59.1in] away from the ame at all times.
- Outdoors: 2000mm [78.7in] away from the ame at all times.
Note: Stainless steel will rust or corrode over time if contamination
or debris is not cleaned or removed immediately. When not in use, it
is recommended that you protect your replace from water damage
or corrosion with a protective cover and always use the Burner Lid
included with your model to safeguard the burner.
