3.0 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

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 suitable flue box complying with the constructional requirements of BS 715. Either a ‘Replacement Chairbrick’ or a BS 1251

chairbrick should also be fitted into the builders’ opening. The flue box must be installed onto a suitable non-combustible insu-

lating surface at least 12mm thick, covering the entire base are of the box.
The flue must have an effective height of at least three meters, 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 restric-

tion 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 appli-

ance (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 fitted, such as class GC1, as regulations allow.
This appliance has been tested for use with circular flues of a minimum internal diameter of 175mm. The flue termination (cowl)

must be of a type suitable for use with an inset Decorative Fuel Effect Fire BS5871 part 3 contains further details.

The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where nec-

essary. Any chair brick may be left in place.
The opening WIDTH and HEIGHT dimensions should be between

405mm and 440mm wide, and 565mm to 575mm high.
Opening DEPTH should be 220mm or greater. Opening DEPTHS

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