6. APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
6.1 Installing to a hearth.
1.
Place the fire centrally on the hearth making sure that the spigot lines up with the
spigot hole in the closure plate. Gently slide the appliance into place
being careful
not to scratch the hearth.
The spigot must enter the closure plate to a depth of at
least 38mm.
2.
Level the fire by loosening the lock nuts and turning the levelling screws in the feet
up or down as required while they bear on the hearth. When the fire is level and
square to the wall, retighten the lock nuts.
6.2 Wall mounting.
The fixing hole positions in relation to the flue spigot opening are shown in figure 10.
Mark these positions on the wall. The positions can alternatively be marked by
placing the fire in position and marking the
wall through the holes in the back panel.
Drill and plug the holes using no.10 wall
plugs. Place the fire in position and secure
with four no.10 x 2in. wood screws.
6.3 Gas supply connection.
8mm rigid tubing must be used to connect
the gas supply to the appliance. An olive
and nut are provided for connection to the
inlet “T” connector on the appliance. The
connector can be rotated to allow
connection from either side or the rear. The
connector includes a valve for isolating the
gas supply.
The closure plate has a cut-out for rear
connection. Seal the gap between the cut-
out and the supply pipe.
Pressure check the installation pipework for gas soundness. In the United Kingdom
check in accordance with the current edition of BS6891. In the Republic of Ireland
refer to the current edition of IS 813 “Domestic gas installations”.
6.4 Radiants installation.
Important:
Fit the radiants ensuring that their rear face rests against the horizontal
ribs in the rear panel. There will be a small gap between their bottom front edges and
the retaining channel at the front of the radiant box.
6.5 Flue restrictor adjustment.
(See figure 11).
The appliance has an integral adjustable flue draught restrictor. This is supplied set in
the fully open (unrestricted) position and in most cases no adjustment should be
necessary. It can be reset to a fully restricted position if the flue draught is excessive.
The restrictor must remain in its fully open position if the flue has an equivalent height
of 4m or less (as calculated in accordance with BS5440: Part 1 Appendix B).
