Appliance Location

This stove must be mounted on a non combustible hearth. The hearth must have a minimum of
12mm non combustible material thickness. The stove can be placed on a wooden floor if it can
support the weight and as long as the hearth plinth is utilized.
b)
Combustible material at the rear of the stove shall be protected against the effects of heat.
c)
There must be a minimum of 300mm from the top of the stove to the underside of any combustible
shelf. Note that for every 50mm increase on clearance, the shelf may project by a further 50mm.
d)
The appliance, being room sealed, may be installed in a room or space which will be used by the
occupants for sleeping.
e)
Any manufactured surround used with this stove should comply with the appropriate British Standard.

Do not place furniture, furnishing or combustible objects within 1 metre of the stove.
If any of these conditions are not fulfilled,

Installation of the Gas Supply
BS 6891
NOTE:
Ensure that the gas supply is capable of delivering the required amount of gas, and is in accordance with
the relevant current standards.
It is generally preferred to conceal the gas supply by bringing it under the hearth, or through masonry to the
side of the fireplace. Any pipe work in 8mm tube connecting the stove to the main pipe work should be kept
as short as possible with as few fittings as possible to prevent restrictions.
a)
Whenever a gas pipe passes through any masonry it must have a sleeve of non combustible material
sealed at both ends to prevent the gas supply from coming in contact with masonry or lime based
mortars.
b)
The gas pipe should be adequately supported over longer lengths.
c)
Soft copper tubing and soft soldered joints are suitable, providing the tube is not closer than 150mm
to the stove casing i.e. the temperature must not exceed 100°C.
d)
A means of isolating the gas supply to the appliance must be provided independent of any appliance
control. This may be a gas cock, ideally of the nursery type to prevent children interfering with the
gas supply.
e)
Any gas tubing that has been passed through masonry, should be purged to expel any foreign
materials that may have entered the supply.
f)
Care should be taken to ensure that pipe work brought through metal structures has been secured to
prevent chaffing, but allow for thermal expansion.
