This method allows for a ‘hole in the wall’ installation of the appliance with the rear part recessed into the
inner leaf of a cavity wall. The structural integrity of the wall must be maintained. The wall must be non-combustible.
Refer to section 6.4 (recessing into a non-combustible wall).
Positano models :
If the appliance is to be wall mounted then the entire base of the appliance must be supported by a non-
combustible shelf. It may be desirable for the shape of the shelf to follow the profile of the appliance. In this case the footprint of
the appliance is shown in figure 11, and any flush fitting shelf design may be calculated from the measurements given.
Westbury models :
If the appliance is to be wall mounted then the entire base of the appliance
and the firefront
must be supported by a
non-combustible shelf. The dimensions of such a shelf are given in section 4.0 (site requirements).
If not previously carried out, insert the firebox into the opening. If the appliance is to be screw fixed to the back panel/wall or
inside of the opening then suitable locations for such fixings should be established, and a suitable number and type of such fixings
should be established to ensure the appliance is securely fixed.
There are no purpose provided screw fixing points provided on the firebox as the location of these points will vary from instal-
lation to installation, depending on the strength of the surrounding materials and the various sizes of opening that the appliance
may be required to fit into. A cable fixing kit, however, is provided and should be used wherever possible as the default fixing
method.
Carefully insert the firebox into the opening and guide the gas pipe through the sealing grommet into its final routing position
and fit the restrictor inlet elbow supplied to the gas pipe. Secure the firebox by inserting screws in the previously prepared loca-
tions (if screw fixing) or refer to the following section if cable fixing.
When using this method for fixing, the minimum depth of the opening must be increased from 105 mm to 125 mm. This is to
allow for the eyebolts and a space for the cable tensioning. Remove the appliance glass panel by removal of the four retaining
screws. Remove the burner unit - refer to section 9.2.
Drill four holes as shown in figure 12 and fit the wall plugs. If the fireplace
does not allow for the exact layout shown, the eyebolts should be fixed to give
as similar a configuration as possible. Thread both tensioning cables through
the holes in the protruding tabs on the rear of the firebox then through the
eyelets and back through the lower holes in the firebox.
Push the firebox back into the fireplace, centralise, pull the loose cables
through the holes and into the bottom of the cavity box. Thread the cable ten-
sioners onto the cables with the nuts screwed down close to the tensioner
head. Slide the screwed nipple onto the cable, pull cable taut and tighten nip-
ple. Adjust tensioner using a suitable spanner to pull the appliance back into
position, to allow an even pull around the fireplace opening. Visually inspect and
repeat if necessary to achieve a good fit.
Note: Surplus cable MUST NOT be cut off, as this will prevent
proper re-installation after servicing. Coil up the surplus cable and tuck the coils out of the way.
