7. GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
A nut and olive are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the inlet ‘T’ connector
at the bottom front of the appliance. The inlet ‘T’ connector can be rotated to allow a
connection from any direction. The inlet ‘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 convector box and run to the inlet
‘T’ connector at the front. The pipe run from the supply line up to the rear opening in
the convector box must be kept away from the area which will be taken by the
convector box when it is installed. 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
8.1 Appliance preparation.
1.
Remove any transit tape and
packing and inspect for any evidence
of mishandling which might affect the
performance. Each unit is flame
tested before it leaves the factory and
as a result there may be slight
discolouration around the burner
ports.
2.
Detach the burner unit from the
convector box by removing two
screws (See figure 8). Lift the burner
unit clear.
IMPORTANT
Before continuing with the installation of this gas fire the aeration setting on
the burner must be checked. The aeration is factory set for use with a ceramic
pebble fuel effect (See section 17.1)
3.
It is important that the grommet supplied in the loose parts pack is fitted to the
hole in the rear of the convector box.
