dia. pipe or a concealed connection from the rear of the appliance a hole with a grommet is
provided at the rear.

An isolating cock is fitted in the supply feed to the fire to facilitate servicing. It may be rotated for
right gas connection.

When a concealed gas fitting from the rear is required it is necessary to route the pipe to the left
side of the unit, taking into account the requirements of BS 6891 1988 dealing with enclosed
pipes.
