B7 Wall Linings:
The front mounting anges of the appliance must
be on top of the nished wall surface in order for the
fascia panels to mount properly. Take into account
any plaster board, tiles or any other nishing surface
that may be intended for the nished wall surface.
Wall nishing materials must not encroach upon the
minimum cavity clearances given in section 2.2. 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.
Note: The temperature of the wall lining directly above
the heater does get warm and hence may discolour
paint nishes that are susceptible to temperature
damage or distort vinyl wall coverings. For durability of
nishes and surfaces you should contact the relevant
manufacturer for their specication.
The cavity framing and wall facing for a minimum of 300mm directly above the Rado
fascia must be constructed from non-combustible materials.
For more detail on cavity construction, view the “Drawings for Architects” in the tech-
nical section of the Escea website.
B8 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 outside of the
dimensions shown.
Except for Rado fascias, maintain a 30mm
clearance around the fascia to ensure ease of
fascia removal. NB: No clearance is needed
