There is a choice of methods of fixing the firebox which are provided to enable the
installer to deal with any type of installation.
The preferred method of fixing which is suitable for almost all situations is
the cable fixing method which is described in the following section in detail.
If the 50mm black spacer is used, the fire may be secured using the cable method
as described below, or alternatively, in installations where the cable method is not
suitable (eg. loose masonary in rear of fire opening) the spacer may be removed
from the fire box and secured to the fire surround using protruding screws which
engage on to the key hole slots on the rear face of the spacer. The spacer will
then need to be sealed to the fire
surround. The fire box can then be refitted to the spacer. The foam seal
(supplied) must be fitted around the perimeter of the spacer in a “goalpost”
arrangement to ensure a seal is achieved to the fireplace.
To fit using the
preferred
cable method proceed as follows-
e)
Mark out and drill 4 off No 14 (6mm) holes in the back face of the fire
opening in the positions shown below in fig. 7
Fig. 7
Fit the wallplugs provided and screw the fixing eyes securely into the rear of the
fire opening. If the clearance at the rear of the fire is at the minimum specified for
a precast flue application, it may be necessary to bend over the lower fixing eyes
after screwing them fully in to the rear of a pre-cast starter block.
f)
Uncoil the two fire fixing cables and thread one end of each of the
cables through one of the two holes on each side of the flue outlet
shroud.
