any of these 3 points.

1.0 Product Description:
The Escea IB600 Outer Skin Kit (New Zealand only), IB850 Outer Skin Kit and IB1100 Outer
Skin Kit are to be used for all installations. They seal the cavity and isolate the fire from air
pressure changes within the cavity.
The only instance that the OSK might not be fitted is in a New Zealand installation within a
full masonry chimney that is not open to any other building space. If the top of the chimney
is not present and the cavity is open to the roof space then an OSK must be used.

2.0 Creating the Cavity:
NOTE: When using designer series fascia options the fire cavity dimensions are different.
Check individual fascia instructions for more details.
The dimensioned drawing below shows the size of opening that must be created to fit the
Outer Skin Kit.
Note: It is not necessary to line the cavity.
2.1 Where possible, it is recommended that cavity is made slightly larger than the above
dimensions to give the installer the maximum amount of space to work in.
3.0 Hearth:
If this fire is being installed at floor level a hearth made from non-combustible material must
extend no less that 300mm from the front of the fire. This hearth should be at least as wide
as the fire’s outer fascia and no less than 10mm thick. Raised hearths can be any size but
must also be constructed from non combustible materials.
3.1 The floor in front of this hearth will still get warm so if floor covering is vinyl, nylon carpet or
other heat sensitive material then we recommend extending the hearth to 450mm from the
fire.
3.2 NOTE: If the hearth is to be covered with tiles or some other veneer then the fire must be
installed so that the base of the ‘Outer Skin Kit’ is level with the finished top surface of the
hearth.
4.0 Raised Installations Up a Wall:
If the fire is being located in such a way that the bottom of the cavity is any more than
100mm up off the ground no hearth is required. Escea recommend that if a heater is being
mounted more than 100mm up a blank wall and no hearth is being used, then a four sided
fascia is used (available from your Escea dealer).
5.0 Wall Linings: The front mounting flanges of the ‘Outer Skin Kit’ MUST be on top of the
FINISHED wall surface in order for the fascia panels to mount properly. 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 section 1.0. The wall board that lines the outside of this opening can be
normal dry wall (plaster board) and does not need to be non-combustible providing that it
does not come any closer to the fire than the dimensions shown in section 2.0.
Note: The temperature of the wall lining directly above the heater does get warm and hence
may discolour paint finishes that are susceptible
to temperature damage or distort vinyl wall coverings. For durability of finishes and surfaces
you should contact the relevant manufacturer for their specification.
