8. Wall surfaces directly above the heater may reach 85 degrees C, so materials such as wallpaper
and water-based paint may be adversely affected. For the durability of finishes and surfaces, you
should contact the relevant manufacturers for their specifications. Glen Dimplex New Zealand Ltd
accepts no responsibility for the deterioration of surface finishes.
9. Construct a floor protector depending upon the type of the floor and the ash lip option chosen. Refer
Fig. 21, 22 & 23
10. Installation on non-combustible floors like concrete floor, refer to Fig. 13 & 21 for the required floor
protector zone. The zone shown in Fig.13 should remain non-combustible. It can be just concrete or
tiles over the non-combustible floor. The zone area needs to be minimum 900mm wide and *361mm
or **422mm in the front depending upon fascia with or without ash lip.
11. Installation on heat-sensitive combustible floors, refer to Fig. 13 & 22 for the required insulated floor
protector. The insulating floor needs to be minimum 34mm thick. The insulating floor protector must
be at least 900mm wide and must be extended *362mm for fascia with ash lip or **422mm for fascia
without ash lip, from the face of the front cladding. It is desirable to level the base of the ZC box with
the top of the insulating floor protector so that the bottom of the ZC box does not rest below the top
surface of the floor protector. See Notes on page 24 for the recommended construction of an insulating
floor protector.
12. Elevated installations 300mm above the floor
,
refer to Fig. 23 for the required ash floor protector. The
ash floor
protector must be at least 900mm wide and must extend *362mm from the face of the front
cladding, for both with and without ash lip fascias. See Notes on page 24 for the recommended
construction of an ash floor protector. The part inside the timber cavity will not be visible and therefore
does not need complete coverage. It is necessary to fix the finishing layer only under the support rails
in this area. For such elevated installations, floor protector can be installed after the heater is in
position as it does not need to extend into the enclosure. However, its rear edge must butt up against
the face of the heat-proof front cladding below the heater, and the joint at that point must be sealed to
prevent the possibility of ember penetration. The visible edges of the floor protector are best finished
with wood trim or tiles after the burner has been installed.
13. Penetrate the roofing material on the flue centerline. Working from the bottom, assemble sections of
the flue and the inner and outer flue casings
and pass them up through the hole in the roof. The flue
sections must be fixed together at each joint with at least two rustproof fasteners, and the crimped
ends of the flue casings go to the top. When the flue system is finally in position, the top of the inner
casing and the top of the outer casings must be at the same height.
14. If the flue centerline is within 3m from the ridge, the outer casing must end at least 600mm above the
ridge. If it is further than 3m from the ridge, the shield must extend at least 1000mm above the point
of roof penetration. In some cases where there are trees or high buildings in the vicinity, it may be
necessary to increase the height to avoid down-draughts. Check the local council rules for the bracing
of the flue extended about the roofline. Generally, consider using braces for flue lengths more than
1200mm above the roof penetration point.
15. Unpack the Rangitata Zero Clearance pack & assemble the various components referring to Fig. 14
& 15. Assemble
the base, sides, back, top shield assembly, and top panel of the
zero clearance
box
. Do not fit the flanged flue-spigot adaptor ring at this stage.
16. Note that the special adapter spigot ring with holes to ventilate the space between the flue and the
inner casing as well as the space between the inner casing and the outer casing has to be attached
with four screws and locking nuts to the top of the ZC box. Both flue casings (inner & outer) will engage
with this special adapter spigot ring. The fitting of the flue-spigot adaptor ring to the top of the ZC box
should be done after the ZC box is pushed into the enclosure.
17. Slide the adjustable top panel of the ZC box into its correct position, depending upon the thickness of
the front cladding. The gap between the adjustable panel and the front of the flanges of the side panels
should be wide enough to accommodate the front cladding of the enclosure. Secure it by tightening
the three screws.
