A Installation Process and Product Description
A1 Product Description
The Escea DX1500 / DX1000 gas fire is a direct vent (fan draught balanced flue), room sealed gas
appliance designed to be built into a cavity. This appliance is flued using a co-linear flexible aluminium
flue connected to a powerflue terminal.
The hot air from the gas fire is transferred to the room via 250mm ID / 300 mm OD ducting.
The user will control their fire with the Radio Frequency (RF) remote that will normally be left in its
wall mount cradle. In addition to the RF remote it has a single auxiliary On/O button on the unit.
When not in operation it is in a standby mode unless it is physically isolated from the mains supply.
To access the product Dataplate, first remove the fireplace glass, any fuelbed media, the burners, and
the firebox base. An access panel is located to the side of the bottom of the firebox; the dataplate is
located underneath this access panel.
A2 Recommended Installation Process
The following diagram illustrates the steps required to install your gas fire, and the trades required at
each stage.
The sequence in which you choose to do these tasks will vary depending on your individual installation.
Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding with the installation. Leave the installation
of the optional fascia panels until the very end of the installation and commissioning to avoid damage
to the fascia panels.

B Creating the Cavity
B1 Cavity Shape
The DX1500 / DX1000 is suitable for timber framed cavities. Most existing masonry cavities
will not be suitable.
The cavity design & shape will be dependent on a number of things, detailed below
B2 Designing the Cavity
The following aspects must be considered when designing this installation:
• Appliance physical size
• Single sided or Double sided
• Wall finishing and interaction with appliance
• Positioning of appliance in regards to wall lining (depth into wall)
• Is a Fascia to be used? one side or two sides?
• Exhaust cowl aspect – horizontal / vertical and flue configuration
• Flue exhaust fan noise- Is there a direct noise path along the flue, especially for short flue
runs?
• Exhaust cowl access for maintenance
• Duct layout and cavity spaces to run ducting
• Duct fan position
• Access to duct fan for maintenance
• Gas pipe layout
• Gas isolation valve / pressure test point position
• Electrical isolation switch
• Home automation network connections - Ethernet cable layout
□
The cavity and wall linings may be constructed from standard timber framing materials and do
not need to be non-combustible.
It is not necessary to line the sides, or back of the cavity.
This DX1500 / DX1000 fire is to be installed prior to any wall lining.
The wall lining is the very last task to be completed in this installation.

B4 Cavity Base
This appliance MUST be fully supported on its base, over the entire area of the underside of the
appliance. The base must also be level and strong enough to support the total product weight,
which is approximately 100kg (DX1000) or 120kg (DX1500).
B5 Hearth
No hearth is required.
B6 Wall Linings
The appliance must be installed prior to and behind the finished wall surface. Take into account
any plaster board, tiles or any other finishing surface that may be intended for the finished wall
surface. Wall finishing materials must not encroach upon the minimum cavity clearances given
in previous sections. The wall board that lines the outside of the opening can be normal plaster
board and does not need to be non-combustible.
NOTE: The final wall lining must not encroach within the specified dimensions in this section or
section B8 on page 13. These dimensions indicate the opening required in any wall lining.
These dimensions are for DX1500 / DX1000 without fascia; if using a fascia then please check
the following section of this manual for separate wall lining dimensions.
If not using a fascia, ensure the edge of the wall lining is finished in a tidy manner.

B
A C D E F G SERVICE
12
The plasterboard is to protrude beyond framework as shown in the following diagram.
Note: The wall lining directly above the appliance will get warm and hence may discolour paint finishes
that are susceptible to temperature damage. The heat may also distort vinyl wall coverings. For
durability of finishes and surfaces you should contact the relevant manufacturer for their specification
and avoid materials that are not suitable for use above a fireplace.
Note that a 20mm or less wall lining must be used when installing a DX-series fireplace without a bevelled
fascia. For wall linings of a total thickness of 10mm or larger, a “Linear Trim” may be purchased to cover
any exposed wall lining. A 9mm wall lining is recommended for ease of installation.
B7 Fascia
NOTE: Any installed fascia must be able to be removed for annual servicing of the fire, including
cleaning the glass.
Bevelled Fascia
If using a bevelled fascia, the cutout required in the finished plaster board dimensions are:
A 15mm or less wall lining must be used when installing a DX-series fireplace with a bevelled fascia, as this
is the maximum distance the bevelled fascia can sit o the front face of the fire, as shown. For wall linings
of a total thickness of 10mm or larger, a “Linear Trim for Bevelled Fascia” may be purchased to cover any
exposed wall lining.
Linear Trim
For 10mm-20mm wall linings, an optional “Linear Trim” can be used to cover any unwanted
exposed wall lining and/or act as a slimline fascia.

Note: If duct backpressure is too great, the appliance can shut down due to overheating.
The ducting fan will generate mechanical noise. Ideally it must be installed in a position where noise
will not interfere with daily activities. All air ducts will make noise no matter how well the system is
designed. Increasing the number of outlets is a simple strategy to reduce this noise.

B8 Mantle Clearance
Mantles or protruding ledges above the heater must not be installed lower
than the dimension shown to the right.
NOTE: dimension from base of appliance.
B9 Television Clearances
The following are the recommended minimum clearances for the location of any electrical
equipment (such as a Plasma TV, LCD TV or home theatre system) above an Escea DX Series
gas fire.
NOTE: The above television clearance recommendations are to be treated
as a suggestion of a suitable installation only. It is the responsibility of the
end user to check the installation instructions of their electrical appliances
to ensure that the location in relation to the gas fire is suitable. Escea in no
way guarantees or takes responsibility that the above installation suggestion
will be suitable for all electrical or home entertainment appliances.
NOTE: Dimension is from base of appliance.
For installations with a recessed TV above, allow at least 300mm above
the top of the appliance to allow for duct and flue routing.
B10 Ducting
NOTE: The duct fan must be installed in a location accessible for service or replacement; a service
hatch to allow for access may be required.
This gas fire requires a small network of ducting situated in either the ceiling or under the floor
to distribute heat generated by the appliance.
A centrifugal fan (separate purchase) is connected to the duct system. This draws air through
the appliance where it is heated and distributes it via the ducting network. The centrifugal fan is
powered by the appliance. When placing outlets in rooms other than the room the appliance is
installed in, it is important to allow for return air to equalise pressure between the rooms.
Caution: Provision must always be made for return air from heated rooms e.g. undercut
doors or natural leakage.
WARNING: OVERHEATED ROOMS ARE NOT SAFE FOR INFANTS
DX fires require a minimum of three outlets in the ducting system to be fully open at all times.
At least two of those outlets must be present in the same room that the fire resides in. There
can be a maximum of five outlets for the DX1000 and eight outlets for the DX1500.
A standard duct kit (separate purchase) has provision for the three minimum outlets - You can
use your own ductwork and outlets, but you must ensure they are rated to temperatures of at
least 90 degrees Celsius and have an appropriate R-value.
Ductwork must be adequately sized to avoid excess backpressures. Inadequate duct sizes will
cause unnecessary fan noise and premature fan failure.

We recommend removing the close flaps from at least three of the duct outlets to prevent
unnecessary back pressure and fan noise.
Ductwork must not be crushed or exposed to excessive heat sources.
For installations with the duct fan installed in the appliance cavity we recommend:
- Contact Escea’s free Architectural Advice Service at [email protected] and forward them
a copy of the intended design for comment.
- The cavity to be clad with sound gib.
- The fan to be wrapped in a sound absorbing material.
- The system be tested for sound related issues before it is enclosed. Please contact
Escea for more information at this stage if advice is needed.
- The duct fan must be hung on the provided hanger.
- The ducting must always have a “C” shape or an “S” shape to break up the sound
waves on both sides of the duct fan.
-The duct fan must be installed in a location accessible for service or replacement, a service
hatch (to allow for access) may be required.
-Never place the fan in such a way to result in a straight run to the top of the fire, as the
sound of the fan will echo out the front of the fire.
B11 Duct Fan Mounting
Using the 3x spring mounts supplied, the duct fan should be installed in one of the following
positions as shown below. You must use the spring mounts as this will help decrease noise by not
transferring vibration into the walls.
NOTE: The duct fan must be installed in a location accessible for service or replacement; a service
hatch (to allow for access) may be required.
Run the electrical cable from the duct fan to the cavity where the appliance will be installed.
Ensure the cable is not draped over or in contact with the outer shell of the appliance or either
of the flexi flue tubes and is kept clear from any other possible heat sources. Fix it appropriately
and allow enough cable loop to prevent tension on the cable plugs.
The duct fan unit length is approx 350mm and diameter is approx 340mm.
The duct fan must not be exposed to the outdoors.
END OF SECTION B
By the end of this section, you should have:
□A framed, but un-lined, cavity sized to suit your fascia and flue configuration
□Provision for sucient access to the powerflue for future servicing

BACDEFGSERVICE
15
C Installing the Electricity and Gas to the Appliance
C1 Power Supply
While the cavity is being created,
consideration must be given to the location
of an appropriate power supply. An earthed
230/240 volt mains power connection
(typically a standard 3 pin outlet) must
be available within 1m of the bottom
right of the appliance. This connection
must be accessible after the heater has been fully installed so that the appliance can be safely
disconnected from the mains power supply prior to servicing.
A mains isolation switch (compliant to AS:NZS 5601 Clause 6.2.8) which is accessible from
outside the cavity can also be used to disconnect the power.
Regardless of the method used, it MUST ALWAYS be possible to safely isolate the electrical
supply to the appliance after it has been fully installed.
This appliance must not be located immediately below a socket outlet. This appliance will draw a
maximum of 2 Amps from a 230/240V supply. No additional power supply is required for the
power flue.
C2 Network Cable
A 10 meter length of network (Ethernet) cable has been supplied and is coiled inside the lower
right of the fireplace. Access this via the removable access panel and connect it to the buildings’
modem.
If you do not wish to connect the fireplace to the modem, the Network /
Ethernet cable should be run to somewhere accessible by a service
technician, such as a cupboard.

C3 Gas Pipe Sizing
Gas pipe should be sized as per the requirements of AS/NZS 5601.1. The pipe sizing must be
sucient to deliver the following volume of gas to the heater with all other gas appliances in the
home running at the same time:
DX1500 Gas Consumption = 42MJ/hr
DX1000 Gas Consumption = 33MJ/hr
C4 Gas Pipe Position
The gas connection is inside the appliance and is ½” male BSPT on the lower right of the
appliance as shown. Access is through the bottom of the firebox via a hatch (shaded grey in the
right diagram).
C5 Gas Isolating Valve
A gas isolating valve must be installed in the gas line as close to the appliance as possible. Fix it in
a convenient position to allow it to be closed o quickly and easily during normal operation. Take
into consideration access to this valve once the wall linings are on. This will also allow for easier
servicing in the future.
END OF SECTION C
By the end of this section, you should have:
□An unlined cavity with 230/240V AC supply that the appliance can be plugged into
□An electrical isolating switch that is accessible once the appliance is installed
□A suitably sized gas supply to the right hand side of the appliance with a pressure test
point, ready to be connected once installed
□Network cable installed, ready for plugging into appliance, regardless of being connected
to internet router/network or not

D3 Installing the Horizontal Powerflue Wall Terminal Option
The horizontal powerflue wall terminal must be installed in the correct
orientation (the small horizontal slot should be at the bottom). This
allows for the correct operation of the flue system and prevents the
ingress of water.
The horizontal powerflue wall terminal must be weathertight when
installation is complete to prevent damage to the dwelling. It must be
installed by a suitably qualified person.
Fit the horizontal powerflue wall terminal into the hole and fix in place, making sure the installation is
sealed appropriately to prevent the ingress of water from outside the wall cladding. Take notice of the
label on the termination which shows the correct orientation of the terminal.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the horizontal powerflue wall terminal is installed to
all relevant building codes to ensure weather tightness.
