ASSEMBLY AND APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
4. The gas, cold water inlet and hot water outlet pipes can be brought through the pipe entry point at the base of the insert.
The pipe entry point is elevated to prevent water ingress. This can be sealed if required.
Securing the RBP1 - ‘ABS’ Insert externally
Secure to the wall surface via the 8 screw holes provided in the flange of
the insert using suitable fasteners.
Securing the RBP1 - ‘ABS’ 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 the 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 RBP1 - ‘ABS’ 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 RBP1 - ‘ABS’ 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 two brick ties per side, one near the top
and bottom of the insert.
Installing the RBP1 - ‘ABS’ to rendered surfaces
Use spacers
(not provided) to install the RBP1 - ’ABS’ insert, with
sufficient clearance for rendering.
When the render is applied ensure that the gap provided by
the stand-off spacers is NOT exceeded as this will prevent the
