GENERAL PREPERATION

1. Prepare an opening in the wall approximately 1 metre above the ground. The opening requirements are Height 1030mm, Width 390mm and a minimum Depth of 160mm (see dimension diagrams page 2). Ensure the location complies with the requirements of AS 5601 Fig. 5.3.

2. Remove the transport tab from the pipe entry point of the insert.

3. Determine the appropr iate electrical access point and remove either the left or right the knock out plug located near the bottom of the side walls of the insert.

SECURING OPTIONS

The Smartbox insert is designed to be surface mounted and may be secured using one of the fo llowing methods:

Securing the Smartbox Insert externally

Secure to the wall surface via the 8 screw holes provided in the flange of the insert using suitable fasteners.

Securing the Smartbox Insert internally, through the side wall

Secure the insert into a solid fixture such as brickwork, timber studs etc, through the side walls using suitable fasteners.

The excess space between t he side walls of the insert and the solid fixture may require packing to prevent distortion of the insert.

At least two fasteners should be used through each side wall approximately 125 mm from the inside top and bottom horizontal faces of the insert

Securing the Smartbox Insert internally, through the rear wall

Install two noggins between wall studs , these are to be centred at 130 mm from the top and bottom of the opening. Secure the insert into the

noggins through the rear wall using suitable fasteners.

Securing the Smartbox Insert with the use of a brick tie

Secure a brick tie to the side walls of the insert with pop-rivets or screws. As the brickwork is being laid use the attached brick ties to secure the

insert into the brick courses. Use t wo br ick t i es pe r side , o n e n e ar th e t op and bottom of the insert.

Installing the Smartbox to rendered surfaces

Use spacers (not provided) to install the Smartbox insert, with sufficient clearance for rendering.

ASSEMBLY AND APPLIANCE INSTALLATION

THE SMARTBOX COVER AND INSERT ARE CONSTRUCTED FROM DURABLE ABS PLASTIC. NEVERTHELESS, TAKE CARE WHEN WELDING ANY PLUMBING CONNECTIONS TO ENSURE NO SMARTBOX PARTS ARE SUBJECTED TO A NAKED FLAME OR EXCESSIVE HEAT.

When the render is applied ensure that the gap provided by the stand-off sp acers is NOT exceeded as this will prevent the Smartbox cover from being fitted!

THE SMARTBOX IS NOT SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION INTO WALLS WHICH ARE REQ UIRED TO BE ‘FIRE RESISTING’ AS DEFINED IN THE BUILDING CODE OF AUSTRALIA (BCA) UNLESS ALTERNATIVE PROVISIONS ARE MADE TO ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED FIRE RESISTANCE LEVEL (FRL). REFER TO THE BCA FOR MORE INFORMATION.

4. The gas, cold water inlet and hot water outlet pipes can be brought through the pipe entry point at th e base of the insert. The pipe entry point is elevated to prevent water ingress. This can be sealed if required.
