FRAMING
FRAMING FOR RHFE1500
To prevent the transfer of heat from the heater engine to surfaces (including to surfaces of non-
combustible materials), a minimum 50 mm clearance MUST be maintained. Failure to provide this
clearance (especially at the non flue connection end of the heater engine) may cause permanent
IMPORTANT
heat damage to adjacent wall materials.
All dimensions are assuming a 10 mm plaster board.
Studs and joists are required directly below the support feet of the appliance.
Framing shown is 90 x 45 mm and the fire platform shown is 18 mm plywood.
Allow room underneath the appliance for the gas supply to enter the fire cavity (min. 100 mm).
The framing dimensions have the studs offset. This is because the cavity needs to be framed
based on the centreline of the Linear glass, NOT the opening size.
Where there is a requirement for a symmetrical installation, the cavity size will need to increase,
refer to the diagram below.

* Plaster board cutout for finishing trim
** Maintain 25 mm clearance to combustibles for first 500mm of flue
*** For symmetrical cavities, make this dimension the same as the left hand dimension (1080mm)
Shaded area is the clearance required around the heater engine (Min. 50 mm). On the non
flue end of the heater enginge this is automatically achieved with the carry bar.
