h. If a Wall Mounted Television is being considered then you should also consult Section 18 as this could determine the preferred
Height position of the Fire and Enclosure Opening.
i. The Inner Base of the Builders Enclosure must be at least 180mm below the base of the cut out to cater for the sunken
Burner System.
j. The Builders Opening must be level and between 575mm wide and 325mm as shown.
k. There are no limitations on the depth of Fire Surrounds Shelf/Mantel, for Non Combustible Shelf/Mantels however where they are
deeper than 150mm and below the minimum position of 150mm above the Enclosure opening they will reduce the Radiant Heat.
It is therefore recommended that Natural Materials are used as some Micro Marbles claiming 150 Centigrade Ratings as they can
suffer from odour, blistering and discolouration.
l. Provided the bottom of the Enclosure Opening is at least 250mm above the floor there is no depth requirements for a Fire
Surround base/hearth.
m. Where the Installation is not to use a Fire Surround then the minimum height to the bottom of the Enclosure Must be 250mm
minimum and it is recommended that a tactile barrier of 150mm deep is provided.
n. For Fire Surround applications the height above the floor to the Enclosure Opening can be reduced below the minimum of 250mm
however the depth of the Fire Surround base/hearth must be at a minimum of 150mm depth.
There are now two Options:
Option 1:
For Trimless Installations using a Fire Surround Back Panel consult items ‘ p to s’.
Option 2: For Trimless Installations not using a Fire Surround consult items ‘ t to x’.
Option 1
o. If a Fire Surround is being considered it may have to be Purpose Made and designed see ’ l ’ .
p. Slate or Marble Fire Surrounds or Slips and/or any adhesives used must have a 150 Degree Centigrade rating. Care should be
taken with Micro Marbles claiming to have a 150Centigrade Rating as they can suffer from odour, blistering and discolouration.
A Fire Surround consisting of both Combustible and Non Combustible materials can be used, however the following applies:
. The Lower Shelf or Hearth below the fire Must always be Non-Combustible.
. The Upper Shelf or Mantel above the fire can be either Combustible or Non Combustible, however for Combustible it Must be
positioned 150mm above the Enclosure Opening for shelves up to 150mm deep and raised 25mm for every 25mm of extra
depth.
. Any side members of the Fire Surround can be either Combustible or Non Combustible, however for Combustible they Must be
at least 100mm from the Enclosure Opening for depths of up to 100mm deep and moved a further 25mm for every 25mm of
extra depth.
. If Non Combustible the Upper Shelf-Top , Sides and Hearth-Base of the Fire Surround can be within 15mm of the Enclosure
Opening.
q. We recommend that the False Chimney Breast is ventilated at both top and bottom to keep the structure cool.
r. If the Fire Surround back panel is to be used to provide the correct sized front opening (see ‘ j ‘) then the Enclosure and False
Chimney Breast will have to be finished and plastered, however this must not be done until you have made the flue connection
and referred to Section 11 Gas Supply before proceeding to 17.4.
Option 2
s.
If the installation is Not to use a Fire Surround Back Panel to create the Trimless appearance then the Firebox will be fixed directly
to the Building Enclosure before the Plaster Board is applied. It is Very Important that the Building Enclosure has been made
such that when the Firebox is fitted it seals off the Enclosure and therefore prevents any temperature escaping into the False
Chimney Breast.
Note: The Flanges, Seal and Fixing will stand off from the Enclosure by 6 to 7mm affecting the position of the Plaster Board therefore
the Studding of the False Chimney Breast should cater for this.
t. Important : No Plaster Board must be applied until the Firebox, Flue Canopy and Flue Connection has been made.
u. The Flue Manufacturers Installation Instructions Must also be followed for this Installation.
v. The Building Enclosure should have provision for a gas supply as detailed in Section 11 during construction of the Enclosure.
w. We recommend that the False Chimney Breast is ventilated at both top and bottom to keep the structure cool.
The Chimney Breast will now have to be finished and plastered, however this must not be done until you have made the flue
Connection and referred to Section 11 Gas Supply before proceeding to 17.4.
IMPORTANT : The following stages must now be carried out before the False Chimney Breast is Plaster Boarded.
17.4 - FIXING THE FIREBOX SUPPORT BRACKET ASSEMBLY
We Recommend the use of the Firebox Support Bracket as it is provided to cater for the weight of the Fire when fully
Installed with the Burner Box Assembly and Flue Hood or the Flue Canopy dependant on the type of Installation.
a.
One Support Bracket Assembly is provided with the fire for fixing at the rear of the Builders Enclosure.
The Support Bracket provides adjustment for Building Enclosure depths up to 345mm deep. For deeper Building Enclosures
spacers will be required but they must be made of a non- combustible material..
b. The top of the Support Brackets should be fixed to the rear of the Builders Opening such that they are level with the base of the
Enclosure Opening.
c. The fixing should be positioned as shown Iin the diagram on the next page starting with the lower holes 25mm below the level of
the bottom of the Enclosure Opening and the remaining holes as shown.
See diagram on next page.
