Flue specification

All models - 225mm x 225mm (9in x 9in) brick or stone.

175mm (7in) minimum diameter lined brick or stone.

175mm (7in) minimum diameter twin wall flue conforming to BS 715.

This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a room containing a bath or shower, or where steam may be present. The fire has been
designed to fit into a builders’ opening or fireplace conforming to BS 1251 (and meeting certain dimensional requirements), or a suit-
able flue box complying with the constructional requirements of BS 715. The flue box must be installed onto a suitable non-combustible
insulating surface at least 12mm thick, covering the entire base area of the box. The flue must have an effective height of at least three
metres, as measured from the hearth to the top of the flue. Any flue damper plates or restrictors should be removed and no other
restriction fitted to the flue. Where removal is not practical, the restriction must be fixed in the fully open position. 

A natural draught flue system is required, and if previously used for solid fuel or oil burning, the flue and chimney must be swept prior
to appliance installation. The flue must be checked before installation by using a smoke pellet or similar to ensure proper draw and that
leakage is not evident at any joints. Repair and re-test as necessary before the appliance is installed. The flue must be connected to only
one fireplace, and the flue must not vent more than one appliance (i.e. not shared with a gas back boiler). There must be no opening in
the flue apart from the one that the appliance is installed into, and the one venting the gases into the air. A suitable terminal may be fit-
ted, such as class GC1, as regulations allow.

This appliance has been tested for use in a pre-cast block flue complying with BS 1289. In accordance with BS 1289 part 1, pre-cast flues
built with directly plastered faces (front or rear) are not correctly installed as to ensure proper operation with 

any 

type of gas fire. In

some instances of this flue construction, temperature cracking of the surface plaster may occur through no fault of the appliance. An  air
gap or some form of insulation material should be installed to prevent normal flue temperatures from damaging wall surfaces. Pre-cast
flues must be checked for mortar fangs and correct installation of joints, flue sections in loft space and terminals. 

These appliances have been tested for use with circular flues of a minimum internal diameter of 125mm. This appliance is suitable for

use with a “lightweight” surround and back panel of 150

O

C minimum rating.

The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary. Any chair brick or fireback may be left in situ, providing
that the dimensional requirements for debris collection space and spigot clearances are met. See figure 1.

The opening WIDTH and HEIGHT dimensions should be between 390mm and 440mm wide, and 545mm 

(see note)

to 575mm high. 

Note: 

The spigot outlet of the fire is 565mm high, but should fit into the gather at the top of the fireplace as the appliance is fitted. Any

modifications to the fireplace opening must be to a height of 560mm min.

Opening DEPTH should be 200mm or greater for a clay/cement lined or pre-cast flue which is new, unused, or previously used only with
a gas appliance. DEPTH should be 240mm or greater for a flue used for solid fuel of oil burning appliances. 

Opening DEPTHS include any plaster or infill panels which form part of the installation.

Please see Data Badge affixed to appliance for current data. This appliance is for use only with the gas type, and at the pressure stated
on the appliance Data Badge, and is for decorative purposes.
