GAS SUPPLY ROUTES
There are three possible entry points for the gas supply pipework to enter the appliance firebox. These
entry points are ‘knock out’ type holes.
Non-concealed gas connections may be made using the entry points at either end of the firebox or the
one in the bottom of the firebox. A concealed gas connection may be made using the knock out hole in
the centre back of the firebox. Widescreens have entry provision avoiding the need for knock-out. Select
the most appropriate entry point and knock out the relevant holes in both the firebox and the outer cas-
ing.
No more than 1.5m of 8mm diameter pipe must be used to avoid unnecessary pressure drops.
If a concealed gas connection is to be made, the supply pipe should always be sleeved through walls and
floors using the shortest possible route.
For concealed supply pipe routing, pipes must (where possible) be vertical and providing there is suffi-
cient wall thickness available, they should be placed in pipe chases. Horizontal pipe runs should be avoid-
ed. Prior to chasing a solid wall, an inspection should be made to note the proximity of any cables/sockets
outlets which may already be buried. Pipes must be secured using suitable clips and protected against
corrosion. Ideally factory finished protected pipework and fittings should be used. Joints should be kept
to a minimum and compression fittings must not be used. The pipework installation must be tested for
soundness before any protection is applied and/or the pipework and fittings are buried.
If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conven-
tional cavity wall, or a solid wall, drill the required number of
holes using a 8.0mm masonry bit to a depth of 42mm. Insert the
wall plugs as required.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber
framed construction wall then special cavity screw fixings will be
required which are not supplied with this product. These should
be constructed from metal and not plastic.
If a concealed gas connection is to be made ensure the gas sup-
ply pipe is in it’s final position and can enter the appliance in the
correct position when the appliance is hung on the wall.
