    • Home automation network connections - Ethernet cable layout This DX1500 / DX1000 fire is to be installed prior to any wall lining. The wall lining is the very last task to be completed in this installation. The cavity and wall linings may be constructed from standard timber framing materials and do not need to be non-combustible.

  • Page 9: B3 Flue Configuration (For Less Than 4M Length)

    Any joints within the flue system must be sealed adequately, with a sealing agent used if necessary. The flue system for the DX1500 / DX1000 is zero rated, so no spaces are required between the flue and any timber framing.
