INSTALLATION PREPARATION AND - INSTRUCTION
The device is developed, tested and approved conform the applicable
standards for the usage, the performance and safety of the product.
The installation of your device must apply to the current building
prescriptions. We advise to make use of a qualified gas installer for
the installation of your device. The installer can provide you with all
information regarding the safety regulations of the installation.
5�1
RELEVANT NORMS AND GUIDELINES
The installation must be carried out in accordance with the following
regulations
•
Department of the Environment, the Building Standards (Scotland)
(Consolidation) Regulations issued by the Scottish Development
Department.
•
BS 5440 part 1
•
BS 5871 part 2
•
BS 6891.
In the Republic of Ireland the installation must also conform to the
relevant standards, particularly in regard to flue sizing and ventilation.
Refer to documents;
•
IS813
•
ICP3
•
IS327
•
Any other rules in force.
This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force
and used only in a sufficiently ventilated space, and is intended for use
on a gas installation with a governed meter.
5�2
ATTENTION POINTS GAS FIREPLACE
This appliance is a Balanced Flue room sealed appliance, and as such
needs no additional ventilation. However an adequate supply of
fresh air to maintain temperatures and a comfortable environment is
recommended. This appliance may be installed in a completely sealed
or mechanically ventilated house.
5�3
APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
•
Determine the position required for the appliance.
•
Create a gas connection for the appliance in approximately the
correct location for the gas controls.
•
The gas controls are connected to the burner of the appliance.
•
This appliance must be securely fixed to the floor using the fixings
built into the base of the appliance.
•
Do not make any adjustments to the appliance.
5�4
ATTENTION POINTS GAS CONNECTION
The gas connection should apply to the local norms in force. Calculate
the diamater of the gas flue, such that no pressure loss is occuring in the
pipes. Place a shut-off valve in the near vicinity of the device. Position
the gas connection, such that it is always accessible for service purposes.
The gas block and receiver are under the combustion chamber, in the
deivce, so that it is always accessible for service purposes.
5�5
REQUIREMENTS FLUE AND WALL TERMINALS
The European CE-marking for the device is only applicable to the flue
materials specified by the supplier. The device must be installed with
the stainless steel flue material US by Metaloterm/On top. The usage of
other concentric stainless steel material is only permitted when it has
the same technical specification as the previous mentioned systems.
Only when these materials are used a good and safe performance can
be promised by Element4.
This appliance may be installed with a roof terminal (C31) or a wall
terminal (C11).
This appliance may only be used with Balanced Flue (otherwise known as
Concentric Flue) parts as specified by Element4. The Element4 specified
flue parts have been approved with the appliance. If the appliance is
installed on non-Element4 approved parts, Element4 cannot guarantee
or accept and responsibility for the proper and safe working of the
appliance.
The flue system must be constructed from the appliance upwards, with
all joints being fully locked and sealed using the Element4 specified
parts.
5�6
BASEMENTS, LIGHT WELLS AND RETAINING WALLS
Flue terminals should not be sited within the confines of a basement
area, light well or external space formed by a retaining wall, unless steps
are taken to ensure the products of combustion can disperse safely at all
times. It may be possible to install this Balanced Flue system in such a
location provided that it is not sited lower than 1m from the top level of
that area to allow combustion products to disperse safely.
Flue terminals should be sited to ensure total clearance of the
combustion products in accordance with the included information.
When the products of combustion are discharged, they should not
cause a nuisance to adjoining or adjacent properties and they should be
positioned so that damage cannot occur to other parts of the building.
If the outer wall surface is constructed of combustible material, a non-
combustible plate should be fitted behind the terminal projecting 25mm
beyond the external edges of the terminal.
