We recommend removing the close flaps from at least three of the duct outlets to prevent
unnecessary back pressure and fan noise.
Ductwork must not be crushed or exposed to excessive heat sources.
For installations with the duct fan installed in the appliance cavity we recommend:
- Contact Escea’s free Architectural Advice Service at aa@escea.com and forward them
a copy of the intended design for comment.
- The cavity to be clad with sound gib.
- The fan to be wrapped in a sound absorbing material.
- The system be tested for sound related issues before it is enclosed. Please contact
Escea for more information at this stage if advice is needed.
- The duct fan must be hung on the provided hanger.
- The ducting must always have a “C” shape or an “S” shape to break up the sound
waves on both sides of the duct fan.
-The duct fan must be installed in a location accessible for service or replacement, a service
hatch (to allow for access) may be required.
-Never place the fan in such a way to result in a straight run to the top of the fire, as the
sound of the fan will echo out the front of the fire.
B11 Duct Fan Mounting
Using the 3x spring mounts supplied, the duct fan should be installed in one of the following
positions as shown below. You must use the spring mounts as this will help decrease noise by not
transferring vibration into the walls.
NOTE: The duct fan must be installed in a location accessible for service or replacement; a service
hatch (to allow for access) may be required.
Run the electrical cable from the duct fan to the cavity where the appliance will be installed.
Ensure the cable is not draped over or in contact with the outer shell of the appliance or either
of the flexi flue tubes and is kept clear from any other possible heat sources. Fix it appropriately
and allow enough cable loop to prevent tension on the cable plugs.
The duct fan unit length is approx 350mm and diameter is approx 340mm.
The duct fan must not be exposed to the outdoors.
END OF SECTION B
By the end of this section, you should have:
□ A framed, but un-lined, cavity sized to suit your fascia and flue configuration
□ Provision for sucient access to the powerflue for future servicing
