Connecting Multiple Units
Together
When connecting multiple units
together, the plumbing should be
constructed in a manifold style
configuration, sized appropriately
for the number of units that are
being installed so a consistent
volume water and pressure is being
supplied to each unit.
New Construction
When determining a location for the
Opti-myst cassette, ensure that the
®
unit will not be susceptible to drafts,
vents, ceiling fans and other air
currents. Similar to a candle, large
movements of air will affect the
unit's ability to create and maintain
the flame effect.
If the desired location is susceptible
to significant air movement, i.e.
air vents, the different installation
options illustrated in Figure 3 can

be used. It is important that the
surface surrounding the top of the
cassette have at least a 3 in
(72 mm) clearance from any vertical
surface and the barrier be 10 in
(254 mm) high from the installation
surface, to ensure optimal flame
production.

NOTE: It is recommended
that during drywall installation
and finishing the media plate be
installed with the provided bag
to prevent dust and debris from
entering the unit.
1. Use studs to frame an
enclosure with the following
minimum internal/opening
dimensions. Note that the
Media Plate (supplied) and Log
Set (optional) require different
opening widths - see Figure 2.
