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.
The fire may be secured using the cable method as described below, or alterna-
tively, 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 the screws and rawlplugs provided. The foam seal
(supplied) must be fitted around the perimeter of the firebox in a “goalpost”
arrangement to ensure a seal is achieved to the fireplace / opening.
To fit using the
preferred
cable method proceed as follows-
e)
Mark out and drill 4 off No 14 (7mm) 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.
