PREPARING THE OPENING
Before installing the fire, check the flue for correct operation using a smoke pellet. All of the smoke should be
drawn up the flue and exit correctly from the terminal. If problems are found DO NOT fit the fire until corrective
action is completed.
Protect the decorative hearth whilst pushing the convector box in and out of the opening. Part of the packaging
is an ideal hearth saver pad.
Before running the gas supply into the opening, offer up the convector box to the fireplace to check the fit is
good. Ensure that it slides in correctly, the sealing face sits flat and square to the wall or infill panel, and that the
base is firm in the floor of the opening as no leaks are permissible here. At this stage it is essential to ensure that
the spigot outlet of the fire is not obstructed in any way. Remove the convector box and take any necessary
measurements before making good and preparing for final installation. Apply the self adhesive sealing strips
around the edge of the rear of the firebox frame, approximately 5mm in from the edge.
Cable fixing:
For fixing the fire by the cable method, see relevant section.
Fixing by screw:
Mark and drill the fireframe or base, and relevant points in the opening or on the wall.
Rawlplugs will be required. NOTE: Plastic rawlplugs are not suitable for this application.
Gas supply:
Following preparation for the fixing method, the concealed gas supply (if required) can now be put
into place. Refer to the relevant section for suggested pipe routes. The ends of the sleeving in which the gas
pipe is run should be sealed. The end of the 8mm supply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent the
ingress of debris during fixing.
GAS SUPPLY
When the opening is ready for installation of the fire, the gas supply can be routed as shown in the following
diagrams.
An isolator cock or restrictor elbow must be fitted to the incoming supply to facilitate servicing.
If using a concealed supply it should be laid in accordance with the diagram below (refer to routing template).
Select the supply route most relevant to the entry point of the gas supply into the fireplace opening.
If using an across the hearth connection, then the firebox is notched and the supply pipe can be routed
through this.
The gas pipe must be suitably protected where it passes through fireplace openings. Any sleeving should be
sealed to the pipe at its ends.
The open end of the gas supply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent ingress of dust and dirt during
installation.
