9. FLUE & TERMINAL DETAILS & REQUIREMENTS
a.
The Fire is supplied with a specially designed flue system and no other flue system can be used.
b.
The Fire and Flue Terminal System must be sited in accordance with BS5440: Part 1. See diagram and table on page 5, which
shows Acceptable Flue Terminal Positions.
c.
The Terminal Guard supplied with the fire MUST be used if there is free access to the area of the Flue Terminal.
d.
The Flue Terminal will become VERY HOT when the fire is in operation.
e.
The Flue caters for Walls up to a maximum of 500mm thick and minimum of 100mm thick.
f.
In the majority of applications due to the Fire’s depth it will require building work, be it masonry or studwork. Section 12 shows
three options, one of which
must
be decided before proceeding.
10. VENTILATION
a.
No additional purpose provided ventilation is required for the fire.
b.
This appliance is fitted with a Flame Failure Safety system which automatically shuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out for
any reason. It
must not
be tampered with and only replaced with a genuine Nu-Flame Pilot Assembly.
11. GAS SUPPLY
It Is Recommended to Check The Next Section as Building Work May Affect the Gas Supply Routing.
a.
Carry out a gas soundness test before working on the gas supply.
b.
Gas supply provision should be made in accordance with the latest Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations as amended.
c.
Confirm that the fire has been supplied for the correct gas to be used by checking the Data Badge in the base of the fire.
d.
A route for a concealed gas supply is provided through a hole in the rear of the fire, at a position of 165mm to the left of the
centre of the fire and 38mm up from the base of the Fireplace Enclosure. An isolation elbow is provided at the control inlet.
e.
Where the gas supply passes through walls, floors, voids, concrete and wall cavities the supply should be sleeved.
f.
Determine the gas supply pipe size required taking into account any other gas appliances.
g.
Determine where the gas supply pipe needs to terminate and fit the 8mm compression isolation/pressure test elbow provided.
h.
In common with all other gas appliances, dirt and debris in the gas system can block the valve and gas injectors on this
appliance, and faults caused by this are not covered by the guarantee.
Therefore it is important that all gas pipes
must
be purged of both air and debris.
i.
If you suspect that there may still be dirt and/or debris in the gas system, fit a filter in the pipeline, before the gas isolation/
pressure test elbow.
j.
Do
not
use jointing compound on any compression fittings on the fire. The use of jointing compound on the compression joints
on this appliance will possibly invalidate the guarantee, as it can get into the control mechanism and cause a malfunction.
k.
Seal off the isolation/pressure test elbow and check all gas connections for gas soundness before proceeding to fit the fire.
! IMPORTANT NOTE !
Always reseal the pressure test point and check that it is gas tight.
(This accounts for a lot of recalls.)
