C2 Safety Clearance Minimum Dimensions
If there is combustible flooring within 500mm of the appliance, a floor protector must be
installed.
If there is combustible flooring directly in front of the appliance, the appliance must be
installed on one of Escea’s plinths/ bases, or another heat resistant structure of minimum
height H (as detailed below). Additionally, a floor protector of any suitable heat resistant
material (eg. steel, glass etc) must be installed to prevent any ash contacting the floor. The
floor protector must extend not less than 300mm from the front of the appliance and not
less than 200mm from each side of the appliance.
Dimension H can be reduced if the product is installed over an insulating, heat resistant
floor complying with the requirements of AS/NZS 2918:2018 section 3.3.3.

At the ceiling and roof penetrations, it is permitted to have a combustible material hard
up against the 250mm dia galvanised liner. However the material must be no thicker than
20mm. At all other points, a minimum clearance of 25mm between the 250mm liner
and any combustible material must be maintained. Note: the Escea ceiling plate must be
installed to comply.

C3 Appliance Installation
Place the floor protector on the floor. Ensure that the floor protector is properly
centred to the location of the flue exit hole on the ceiling. Place the plinth or base on
the floor protector once the location of floor protector is set.
*Note: Safety clearance requirements for the woodfire must be taken into account
when setting the floor protector location.
Secure the plinth/ base and floor protector to the floor. Use 4x suitable bolts (M6
minimum) through the pre-drilled holes on the plinth and floor protector (circled
below). For concrete floors, concrete screws or dynabolts must be used.

If installing onto one of the Escea Plinths, drill holes for mounting the fire, as per the
schematics below. If installing onto the Escea base, this will not be necessary as the
base already has mounting holes in the sheetmetal.
Note: if installing onto the 1500W Plinth, drill the same holes for the product, but
oset to where the fire is being positioned on the plinth.

Place the appliance on top of the plinth and secure it to the plinth. Use the supplied 4x
M8x50 Hex bolts and 4x M8 x 32 washers to bolt through the plinth to the appliance.
*Note: Before placing the fire on the plinth, pre-drill 3x 3.3mm dia flue fixing holes on
both the fireplace Ø150mm and Ø200mm spigots.

Connect 3x pieces of the 1219mm long, Ø150mm flue pipe together to create a long
flue pipe. Drill through flue pipes and use a minimum of 3x SS rivets to connect flue
pipes together.
Place Ø150mm flue spiders around each of the Ø150mm flue pipe. Tighten the screws
and nuts to secure the spiders to the flue pipes. Drill through spider and flue pipes and
use a minimum of 3x SS rivets to further secure the spiders to flue.
Connect 3x pieces of the 1219mm long, Ø200mm flue pipe together to create a long
flue pipe. Drill through flue pipes and use the provided rivets to connect flue pipes
together.
Place Ø200mm flue spiders around each of the Ø200mm flue pipe. Tighten the
screws and nuts to secure the spiders to the flue pipes. Drill through spider and flue
pipes and use a minimum of 3x SS rivets to further secure the spiders to flue.
*Note: For more information regarding flue installation and minimum requirements,
please refer to section C5.

Place the Escea ceiling plate over the spigots on the fire (folds pointing upwards). The
ceiling plate is supplied with the Escea Freestanding Flue Kit.
Position the long Ø150mm flue pipe (with the crimped end pointing downwards) into
the inner spigot. Use a minimum of 3x rivets to fasten the Ø150mm flue pipe through
pre-drilled holes on the Ø150mm spigot.
Position the long Ø200mm flue pipe (with the crimped end pointing downwards) into
the outer spigot. Use a minimum of 3x rivets to fasten the 200mm flue pipe through
pre-drilled holes on the outer spigot.
*Note: For more information regarding flue installation, please refer to section C4.

Secure the ceiling plate on to the ceiling. Use the 4x supplied machine pozi screws and
4x 12mm ceramic spacer.
Cut one of the Ø250mm galvanised liners from a length of 1219mm length to match
the required liner length. Then connect the 2 pieces of the Ø250mm liners together to
create a long liner pipe. Use a minimum of 3x SS rivets to connect flue pipes together.
Position the Ø250mm flue liners above the ceiling plate (with the crimped end
pointing upwards). Align the Ø250mm liner so that the end is flush with the ceiling
and attach the flue liner to ceiling and roof beams using appropriate fasteners. Note:
above the ceiling penetration and below the roof penetration, a 25mm clearance to any
combustible material must be maintained.
For more information regarding flue installation, please refer to section C4.
