7. GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
A nut and olive are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the ‘T’ connector at
the bottom front of the appliance. The ‘T’ connector can be rotated to allow a
connection from any direction but we strongly recommend a rear supply connection
only, as left and right hand connections from the front of the fire will prevent/restrict
manual control operation and access to the remote control sensor for battery
replacement. The ‘T’ connector includes a valve for isolating the gas supply and a
pressure test point.
The supply pipe must be rigid material. Flexible pipe must not be used.
Concealed supply pipe connection
If a concealed connection from inside the fireplace is required then
,
before the
appliance is fitted into the fireplace
it will be necessary to extend the supply line so
that it will project through the hole in the back of the hotbox and run to the inlet ‘T’
connector at the front. The pipe run from the supply line up to the rear opening in the
hotbox must be kept away from the area which will be taken by the hotbox when it is
installed (See figure 7).
Note that the centre of the appliance inlet ‘T’ connector is 25mm above the fireplace
floor. The inlet ‘T’ connector should be fitted to the supply pipe at this stage.
8. PREPARING APPLIANCE FOR INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT
Before continuing with the installation of this gas fire the aeration setting on
the burner must be checked. The aeration is factory set, but will require
adjustment. For Natural gas models see section 17.1 (Servicing and parts
replacement). For LPG models see the conversion guide supplied with the
fire.
1.
Detach the burner unit from the
hotbox by removing two screws (See
figure 9). Lift the burner unit clear.
2.
Fit the two “U” section seals to the
bottom edges of the hotbox side
flanges (See figure 10).
3.
It is important that the grommet
supplied in the loose parts pack is
fitted to the hole in the rear of the
hotbox.
