To Install the Appliance Continued
TIMBER FRAMED DWELLING CONTINUED
The vapour barrier on the back of the inner timber leaf should be carefully cut and fixed to prevent
ingress of damp into the plasterboard layer.
NOTE:
Neither the appliance nor the “Rockwool” insulating pad may overhang the cavity space.
Routing of the gas supply must be carried out inline with the recommendations specified in the British
Gas Publication DM2 „Guide for gas installation in Timber Frame Housing.
CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY
TURN OFF ANY GAS APPLIANCES THAT ARE FED BY THE METER AND ISOLATE THE GAS
SUPPLY BY TURNING OFF AT THE METER.
Connections may be made from the front of the appliance from either the left or the right in 8mm-
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.
When installing the firebox into a cavity wall, any part of the installation pipe work installed in the
void open to the cavity wall must be enclosed in a gas tight sleeve. It must be sealed at the point
at which the sleeved installation pipe enters the fire (The Gas Safety (Installation and Use)
Regulations Certificate of exemption number 1 of 1996).
Where the pipe enters the fire the outer
sleeve must be sealed to the grommet and the pipe must be sealed to its outer sleeve using
suitable mastic.
CHECKING GAS SOUNDNESS
Complete gas connection to the fire and check for gas soundness in accordance with current
codes of practice.
SECTION ELEVEN
Assemble the Appliance
Position the refractory fuel bed components as described in section four of this manual, it is
important that the fuel bed is positioned exactly as described to ensure the correct operation of
the appliance. Badly positioned fuel bed components may result in the gas flame being driven
forward onto the glass and permanently marking it.
Position the lower glass clamp over the lower four studs. Start the crosshead nuts on these four
studs two turns on each.
Taking great care, locate the glass panel into the space behind the lower glass clamp, ensuring it
is positioned centrally with the printed surface to the inside and the wide area of print at the lower
edge, push it back into position and fit the top clamp with four crosshead nuts.
Tighten the crosshead nuts up evenly ensuring that the glass compresses the seal on all four
sides.
Position the fret apron and secure with two cross head nuts
Position the grill fascia so that it hooks centrally over the top flange of the combustion box and
covers both glass side clamps.
Position four magnets in two up each side of the appliance flange, and offer the decorative trim up
squarely and centrally.
