6 If the pipe is to be laid in concrete,
or comes through a wall or chased
into a wall then the pipework must
be sleeved. This sleeve can be electrical
conduct or plastic pipe of a size larger
than the outside diameter of the gas
supply line. Place the gas pipe within
the sleeve for protection.
7 Run the gas pipe from the cylinder
to the area of the fireplace allowing
a full metre of free pipe at the fireplace
end; pipe may be brought in through
either side or the rear of the gas fire.
8 All bends should be made with a pipe
bender to prevent a restrictive kink
forming.
10. Fitting the Gas Burner
(To ensure that the burner and coals are
not damaged, this work must be done after
all building work has been completed. This
work can only be carried out by a person
who is a registered LPGAS Association
installer.)
1 Drill the side or the back of the
Jetmaster with a 10 or 12 mm drill
for the gas pipe entry point. Sleeve
the gas pipe with metal/plastic tubing
where it is to pass through the wall
of the convector box to protect it. If
the pipe run from the gas cylinder
has been made with larger than 8 mm
pipe, reduce it as close as possible to
the fire but not more than 4 metres
away, by using a reduction fitting. Now
that the pipe work is within the
convector box, secure the convector
box by screwing it to the floor. (See
7.4 above)
2 Purge the pipe for dust and debris by
running the gas for a few moments;
failure to clear the dust or debris
from the pipe will invalidate the
Warranty.
3 Remove the burner from its packing
and examine the connections,
checking that none are loose.
4 With the burner immediately in front
of the convector box, place the unit
in the frame supplied, run the gas pipe
to the test point nipple, which for the
LP burner is positioned on the right-
hand side of the control valve when
viewed from the front. Place the
burner and frame in the convector
box and connect the pipe with the 8
mm compression nut and olive making
sure that the connection is gas tight.
Do not strip it. Use of PTFE tape will
invalidate the Warranty as small pieces
can enter the pipe and damage the
valve.
