APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (identification
of type of gas and pressure) and adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
Installation must be carried out by a Gas safe registered engineer and must
adhere to national and local legislations and regulations.
The appliance installation should be in accordance with the current version of
BS 5871-2, (which is BS5871-2: 2005 +A1: 2007 for the installation and
maintenance of gas fires, convector heaters, fire/back boilers and decorative
fuel effect gas appliances- Part 2: Inset live fuel effect gas fires of heat input
not exceeding 15kW, and fire/back boilers).
As stated in the section above there are two versions of this fire:
Version 1 – BS7977 –
the fire is designed to be installed into a fireplace
opening with a brick built or pre-cast chimney. The fire is a cartridge that must
be used in a suitable fireplace chamber and sealed.
Ventilation into the recess is provided via the appliance chassis design and the
debris inspection plate in the lower section of the gas fire. This inspection plate
has a 20mm ventilation hole. This must not be blocked. This plate should be
removed during servicing to clear any debris which has collected in the
chimney during normal use. Once cleaned the plate must be replaced.
If installing this fire to BS7977 go to page 10
Version 2 –EN613 –
the fire is designed to be used in a new build property
without a chimney. The fire is pre-fitted with a special flue box. This is then
connected to a 125mm flue liner. The fireplace is then built around using stud
work and boards to create a false chimney breast.
