Ultima II Installation Manual
CONSOLE INSTALLATION, MASONRY FIRE PLACE
1. GENERAL
•
In this type of installation the fireplace is closed off
with fireproof material. The heater is placed against
the fireproof material and a hole is cut for
penetration of the flue spigot into the fireplace.
•
The flue spigot must have an extension added to
extend beyond overhead brickwork.The extension
must be constructed so that it prevents falling
debris entering the flue spigot. Cutting the end of
the spigot at a 45 degree angle facing downwards
will achieve this.
•
The spigot extension must not be extended so far
into the chimney as to cause an obstruction to the
discharge of flue gases. The minimum clearance
from the end of the spigot extension to any
obstruction is 75 mm.
•
Do not install heater below a wooden shelf.
2. PREPARE FIREPLACE
•
Remove any damper plates or baffles.
•
Check flueway is clear of obstructions.
•
Check fireplace dimensions and, if necessary,
remove any brickwork to provide 75mm clearance
between the end of the spigot extension and any
obstruction.
•
Check there are no unwanted holes or openings in
the fireplace. If so these must be sealed, so that the
fireplace is in a sound condition.
•
The chimney shall be confirmed free of soot and
creosote that may have built up if previously used
for a solid fuel fire. Remove combustible materials
or substances before installing the heater.
•
A gas appliance must not be connected to a
chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning
appliance.
•
Provide a firm, flat and sealed base for the heater.
A rough or uneven base may cause rattles and
affect performance.
•
Close off the fireplace with a fireproof material and
cut hole for flue spigot as shown.
3. INSTALL COWL

A cowl certified for gas appliances must be installed
on all chimneys.
•
Clearances to conform with AS/NZS 5601. The
minimum clearance between top of chimney and
the lowest opening in the flue cowl is 200 mm as
shown.
•
Size:100 mm.
4. GAS INLET UNION

copper elbow is provided with every heater. It is
situated at the bottom right hand side below the
