External Wall installation
The following information is for guidance only and is in no way intended as a means of compliance to regulatory or
local building codes. Design of any flashing or other means of weather proofing the wall penetration is entirely the
responsibility of the designer/architect/builder.
Notes:
Any tape or adhesive used for fixing the glass to the fire must be able to withstand temperatures of at least 120°C
Any tape or adhesive should only be applied to the outer 20~25mm of the fire flanges
Any product used in contact with the glass must be capable of performing at temperatures not less than
120°C and should not come within 35mm of the top inside edge of the firebox. Temperatures on the side
flanges allow closer contact.
If the designed flashing will not fully conceal the firebox side flanges, an optional overlay is available to cover the
holes for the trim latches and the upper hanger slots.
There is no air intake or outlet on the glass side of the fire so there is no concern about blocking the side of the
fire.
It is important that the glass is sealed against the fire to prevent hot air flowing up into any combustible materials
used directly above the fire - a secondary means of protection may be required. It is not necessary for the glass to
be permanently fixed to the fire so long as the glass is held in place independently of the fire and a seal between the
two is maintained and the seal can withstand temperatures in excess of 120°C.

TAPE ON LOWER EDGE
The flashing can be designed to act as a trim to conceal the edges of the fire but must not protrude into the viewing area
of the fire where it will be exposed to the radiant heat given off the burner and upper louvre or the conducted heat of the
glass. This means no more than 15mm in from the side flanges, and 10mm from the upper edge. The lower edge can
be covered by as much as 200mm from the base of the fire.
