Page 11 If there is combustible flooring directly in front of the appliance, the appliance must be installed on one of Escea’s plinths/ bases, or another heat resistant structure of minimum height H (as detailed below). Additionally, a floor protector of any suitable heat resistant material (eg.
Page 12 Parallel Position Corner Position 630592_1 TFS650-TFS1000 InSTallaTIon Manual...
Page 13 250mm dia galvanised liner. However the material must be no thicker than 20mm. At all other points, a minimum clearance of 25mm between the 250mm liner and any combustible material must be maintained. Note: the Escea ceiling plate must be installed to comply.
Page 14 C3 Appliance Installation Place the floor protector on the floor. Ensure that the floor protector is properly centred to the location of the flue exit hole on the ceiling. Place the plinth or base on the floor protector once the location of floor protector is set. *Note: Safety clearance requirements for the woodfire must be taken into account when setting the floor protector location.
Page 15 If installing onto one of the Escea Plinths, drill holes for mounting the fire, as per the schematics below. If installing onto the Escea base, this will not be necessary as the base already has mounting holes in the sheetmetal.
Page 16 Place the appliance on top of the plinth and secure it to the plinth. Use the supplied 4x M8x50 Hex bolts and 4x M8 x 32 washers to bolt through the plinth to the appliance. *Note: Before placing the fire on the plinth, pre-drill 3x 3.3mm dia flue fixing holes on both the fireplace Ø150mm and Ø200mm spigots.
Page 17 PLACE 200mm SPACER HERE MINIMUM 1600mm Place the Escea ceiling plate over the spigots on the fire (folds pointing upwards). The ceiling plate is supplied with the Escea Freestanding Flue Kit. Position the long Ø150mm flue pipe (with the crimped end pointing downwards) into the inner spigot.
Page 18 Secure the ceiling plate on to the ceiling. Use the 4x supplied machine pozi screws and 4x 12mm ceramic spacer. Cut one of the Ø250mm galvanised liners from a length of 1219mm length to match the required liner length. Then connect the 2 pieces of the Ø250mm liners together to create a long liner pipe.
Page 19 Install the back vermiculite panel by tilting the panel and placing the bottom edge of the back panel above the ember air plenum. Carefully push the top of the back panel towards the back wall of the firebox. *Note: Please hold the back panel in place while placing the side panels in place to prevent it from tipping over.
Page 20 Install the left and right side vermiculite panels next by placing the panels on the sides above the firebox base. Carefully push the top of the side panels towards the side walls of the firebox. *Note: Please refer to the diagram below for the correct orientation of the side vermiculite panels during installation to the firebox.
Page 21 Install the bottom vermiculite panel by placing it above the firebox base. Tilt the base panel roughly 30° to fit the panel through the firebox opening. The door will be re-assembled to the product after installing the bottom vermiculite panel. Re-engage the door hinge to the hinge pins to re-attach the door to the product.
Page 22 C4 Flue Installation Any flue system used on this fire must comply and be installed to fully meet the requirements of AS/NZS 2918:2018 Domestic solid fuel burning appliances – Installation.

Page 23 General Installation Procedure: *Note: The total length of the connected flue pipes must be within the requirements of AS/NZS 2918:2018 Domestic solid fuel burning appliances - Installation. Do not cut any of the flue pipes above the flue cone. For minimum flue dimensions, refer to Flue Size - Minimum Requirements section.
Page 24 Escea Classic Flue Kit: Escea’s woodfire flue system is unique as it draws combustion air from the same pressure zone as the exhaust gases, eliminating downdrafts and ensuring an efficient burn. *Note: The total length of the connected flue pipes must be within the requirements of AS/NZS 2918:2018 Domestic solid fuel burning appliances - Installation.
Page 26 Installation Procedure - Classic Flue Kit: Install partially completed flue system according to the general installation procedures. Place the 150mm cone spacer above the flue system and tighten the nut to hold it in place. Connect the 915mm long, 150mm diameter flue pipe to the existing long flue pipe.
Page 27 Optional Accessory - Escea Designer Flue Shroud: A minimalist shroud can be purchased as an optional accessory to the Escea flue kit, providing a sleek design solution. *Note: The total length of the connected flue pipes must be within the requirements of AS/NZS 2918:2018 Domestic solid fuel burning appliances - Installation.

Page 29 Installation Procedure - Escea Designer Flue Kit Install the Escea Classic Flue Kit as per the above instructions. Cut the bottom shroud from the non-crimped end to be above by 100mm from the roof line. Be aware of the roof pitch when cutting the bottom shroud. If required, a cutting template for the flue can be provided showing common roof pitches.
Page 30 Place the bottom shroud around the flue system, on the Ø250 spiders. Position the bottom shroud below the top end of the Ø250mm flue liner by 160mm, as mentioned in Step 2. Drill through the legs of the Ø250 spiders and secure the bottom shroud to these spider legs using 4x SS rivets.
Page 31 Assemble the cone pipe assembly to the 150mm diameter flue pipe. Assemble the cowl to the 150mm diameter flue pipe. Drill through and rivet through the cone pipe, cowl and flue pipe using a minimum of 3x SS rivets. *Note: Ensure a good mechanical seal between the cowl and cone. This is necessary to keep rain out of the flue system.
Page 32 Flue Restraints: The flue above the roof must be restrained as per AS/NZS 2918:2018 Section 4.10 - Fixing Flue Flashing: The rubber flashing, flashing plate and other flashing material used must comply with the relevant building code/ local building regulations. Silicone flashing is the recommended flashing material for both the Classic flue kit and with the Designer Shroud accessory.
