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.
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. Ideal Cavity Dimensions: All dimensions in millimetres IB Series IB600 IB850 IB1100 A 700 960 1260 B 585 560 560 C 565 565 565 2.
150 6.0 6.1 Mantle Clearance: Please refer to the diagram to the right. Mantles or protruding ledges mounted above the heater that are made from combustible materials, must not extend from the wall outside of the dimensions shown. 6 100 300 200 Television Clearances: The following are the recommended minimum clearances for the location of any electrical equipment (such as Plasma TV, LCD TV or home theatre) above an escea IB Series gas fire.
8.0 Power Supply: The electrical cord (either of the fire, or an extension cord) should pass through the ‘Outer Skin Kit’ as shown, through the supplied ‘Cord Strain Relief Bush’. Locating the power outlet within the cavity makes the installation very neat but the provision MUST be made to be able to switch the power supply off and on (electrical isolation switch) and MUST be accessible after the heater has been installed.
9.0 Installing the Flue System NZ ONLY: Non-Masonry Timber Frame Cavity: The heater must be flued to the outside via a 100mm diameter stainless steel flue that is covered by a 150mm diameter liner. This must be installed in accordance with the requirements of AS5601 / NZ5261. The minimum flue length = 3.6m vertical height It is important to check that you have all the necessary flue parts before beginning your installation.
10.0 Flue Assembly NZ ONLY Secure the Flue spacer bracket to the top section of 100mm Flue and insert the cowl, this can be riveted or held in place with screws (see 10.1 Installing the Flue Terminal). Now slide the 150mm flue onto the bracket. For each section of flue a Spider bracket will be required. These act as spacers for the 150mm flue and should be attached half way along each section of flue. The bottom section is similar to the top assembly.
10.1 Installing the Flue Terminal NZ ONLY Cut the flue termination to the height specified on the attached “Flue position” diagrams and leave a vertical offset of 20 - 30mm between the inner and outer as shown. Slide the flue liner sleeve over the liner and push it down about 150mm out of the way. Fit the flue spacer bracket between the flue and flue liner.

10.7 Fixing the Flue to the Cavity A length of angle should be attached to the inside of the timber frame cavity to hold the flue in place. Once you have fixed the angle to the inside of the cavity holes must be drilled to secure it to the flue. Screws or rivets can be inserted directly into the 150mm flue to hold it in place. To make sure the flue is installed at the correct height, a piece of timber can be cut to 600mm and between the fire base level and the bottom of the flue.

12.0 Fixing the Outer Skin Kit into the Cavity: Slide the Outer Skin Kit into the cavity, and secure it to the wall using screws or other fasteners through the slots at the front of the side panels. The cavity is now ready for the installation of the Gas Fireplace. 630077_5 Outer Skin Kit Installation Manual.
13.0 Laying Gas Pipe: Gas pipe should be sized as per the requirements of AS5601 / NZ5261:2003. The pipe sizing must be sufficient to deliver the following volume of gas to the heater with all other gas appliances in the home running at the same time; IB600 IB850 IB1100 New Zealand 36 MJ/hr 42 MJ/hr 42 MJ/hr Australia ----40 MJ/hr 40 MJ/hr 13.1 This fire has been supplied with a 300mm long flexible inlet connection to make connecting the gas supply easy and safe.
14.0 Gas Fireplace Installation: Attached to the base of the Outer Skin Kit are guide rails. The inside edge of these rails will line up with the outside edge of the two outer under base supports. When the parts are lined up, push the fire towards the back of the Outer Skin Kit until it cannot be pushed back any further. The front of the firebox should now be sitting flush with the OSK. 15.
16.0 Securing the Flue Sleeve NZ ONLY: Tighten the flue sleeve with a screw driver and spanner, ensure a tight and secure seal has been made between the flue assembly and the flue outlet spigot. 16.1 Inserting the OSK Lid: Once the previous steps have been completed you slide the 180mm flue sleeve (NZ ONLY) down until it rests on the lid of the Outer Skin Kit, this will prevent anything touching the inner flue. The final step is to attach the front lid to the OSK.
