SECTION TEN  

To Install the Appliance 

 

 

INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE INTO CAVITY WALL 

(

When installing in a timber framed 

dwelling reference must be made to the specific installation requirements stated later in this 

Section  

‘Installing The Appliance In Timber 
Framed Dwelling’

)

 

 

Ensure it is a suitable outside wall 
constructed  of  non-combustible 
materials and that the flue position 
meets the requirements previously 
described in 

Section 8

.  

 

Mark  a  horizontal  line  on  the  wall 
at  the  intended  hearth  surface  or 
appliance  base  height  (150mm 
min  for  Hole  in  Wall  installation 
(the skirting board must be cut away from behind the fire).  

 

Mark a vertical line on the wall at the intended centre of the appliance up from the horizontal line 
for a height of 555mm.  

 

Mark two more vertical lines 202mm either side of the centre line for a height of 555mm.  

 

Mark  a  horizontal  line  at  a  height  of  555mm above  the  hearth  line,  joining  the  two  outside  lines 
together. 

 

Mark the position for a lintel above the top horizontal line.  

 

Mark  two  short  horizontal  lines  so  they  cross  the  centre  line,  one  at  105mm  and  the  second  at 
480mm above hearth level line. These are the centre points for the air duct and flue holes. 

 

Using a long masonry drill, make two pilot holes completely through the wall, ensure the holes are 
drilled accurately at the centres and square to the wall both horizontally and vertically at the two 
cross points previously marked. 

 

 Cut out the brickwork of the inner skin of the cavity wall for the lintel, and position and fix the lintel 
with mortar. 

 

Cut  out  the  brickwork  under  the  lintel,  between  the  two  outside  vertical  lines  into  the  cavity. 
Ensure the cut-out width is square, try the appliance into the opening. 

 

Using 125mm (5”) core drill, cut two holes following the pilot holes, drill from the outside through 
to the cavity. 

 

Remove  any  cavity  insulation  from  the 
cut-out opening and for a further 100mm 
into the cavity gap each side and above. 

 

Pack  “Rockwool”  around  the  sides  and 
top  of  the  opening  into  the  cavity  for  a 
depth of 100mm. 

 

Lay  the  hearth  if  required  so  that  it  is 
positioned correctly to the horizontal line. 

 

Position  and  fix  the  back  panel  and 
surround if required. 

 

Offer the appliance into the opening and 
mark through the gas pipe entry hole (see connecting the gas supply later in this manual). 

 

Pass a tape measure through the core-drilled holes and record the distance from the back of the 
spigots to the surface of the outside wall.
