C7 Painted Wall Finish Installation Requirements

This installation scenario is for installation into a timber/ combustible cavity, with a painted

wall ﬁnish.

The TC950 Zero Clearance Kit must be speciﬁed when the appliance is installed into a

combustible cavity. For this installation scenario, the appliance must be installed with the

TC950 Linear Fascia.

When constructing the base (for a combustible ﬂoor install), the base needs to be set back

40mm from the front of the cavity front, to accommodate the ‘Skamotec’ panels. The

front of the Skamotec should be ﬂush with the adjacent timber side framing. The base can

be constructed entirely of combustible materials but the upper surface must be continuous

and support the weight of the appliance.

The TC950 Zero Clearance Kit comes supplied with 40mm thick ‘Skamotec’ insulative

panels. For this installation scenario, the top panel and side panels must be rebated to

the dimensions shown below. Use a handsaw to rebate the panels, ensuring the panels are

adequately supported while cutting.

Non-combustible 12mm ﬁbre cement sheet shall be adhesive and mechanically ﬁxed to

the Skamotec panels, the Zero clearance kit, and the adjacent timber framing to provide

a continuous substrate for plaster and paint. Use a high temperature RTV Sealant or

adhesive designed to withstand up to 300 °C. Use the supplied schematics for cutting

the ﬁbre cement sheets. The front of the cavity must be covered with non-combustible

wallboard. The sides of the cavity may be covered with combustible wallboard.

C8 Other Wall Finish Installation Requirements

This installation scenario is for installation into a timber/ combustible cavity, with other

wall ﬁnishes such as tiles,brick, schist, stack stone, concrete etc. When installed with the

Frameless Trim, the wallboard can be placed close to the trim (with a small clearance),

giving a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. For more advice on wallboard choice, please contact

Escea’s Architectural Advisory team.

The TC950 Zero Clearance Kit must be speciﬁed when the appliance is installed into a

combustible cavity. For this installation scenario, the appliance must be installed with the

TC950 Frameless Trim.

When constructing the base (for a combustible ﬂoor install), the base needs to be set back

40mm from the front of the cavity front, to accommodate the ‘Skamotec’ panels. The

front of the Skamotec should be ﬂush with the adjacent timber side framing.

The TC950 Zero Clearance Kit comes supplied with 40mm thick ‘Skamotec’ insulation

board panels. Note: the Skamotec panels do not need to be modiﬁed for this install

scenario. Non-combustible 12mm ﬁbre cement sheet shall be adhesive and mechanically

ﬁxed to the skamotec panels, the Zero Clearance Kit, and the adjacent timber framing to

provide a continuous substrate for ﬁxing the selected non-combustible material or ﬁnish.

Use a high temperature RTV Sealant or adhesive designed to withstand up to 300°C Use

the supplied schematics for cutting the ﬁbre cement sheets.

The front of the cavity must be covered with non-combustible wallboard. The sides of the

cavity may be covered with combustible wallboard.

C9 Zero Clearance Kit Venting Requirements

The TC950 Zero Clearance Kit must be vented. There are multiple options for venting the

kit depending on the install scenario. For all options, the hot air will exhaust through the

Ø250mm galvanised liner sections to outside (which are supplied with the Escea Inbuilt

Flue Kit).

Option 1 - Venting with Outside Air (Preferred)

Outside air can be drawn in by connecting a Ø150mm pipe from outside of the building

to the zero clearance kit. It is recommended to use Ø150mm aluminium ducting (not

supplied).

Venting air can be supplied from the back, or from either side of the zero clearance kit.

A Ø150mm spigot is supplied with the kit. To attach it, take out the blanking plate from

the desired panel and screw the spigot to the panel using the supplied 4x Tek screws (1/4”

driver size).

Option 2- Venting with Roof Cavity Air

This option takes air from the roof space to vent the Zero Clearance Kit and is only suitable

for single story buildings with ceiling heights 2.7m or less.

Air from the roof space can be utilised to vent the zero clearance kit down through the

square holes located on the back panel and side panels.

Holes must be cut in the ceiling to allow roof space air into the enclosure. The minimum

opening size is 2x 250mm x 150mm (or an equivalent surface area). Alternatively, you can

have no ceiling inside the enclosure to allow as much air as possible into the zero clearance

kit.

TO CEILING GAP:

Option 3- Venting with Room Air

This option is not preferred - only consider this if both Options 1 and 2 cannot be applied.

This method will take away warm air from the room - this is undesirable.

Room air can be drawn into the cavity through vents on the side of the cavity. The

minimum venting area is 17,670mm2. Place the vents so that they are in line with the base

of the zero clearance kit. There must be nothing inside the cavity that obscures the path of

venting air to the zero clearance kit.

This will require make up air or a resupply of air into the room the ﬁre is located. This may

be taken from outside by opening a window or door, or providing a vent from the room to

outside.
