INSTALLATION 

GAS FIRE INSTALLATION 

 
There are 2 options of installation type. 

 
Option 1

 - When installing 

without

 a decorative fire frame, prior to fitting this natural 

stone fireplace, the gas appliance associated with it must first be installed by a 
fully qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.  

The gas appliance must be fully 

sealed to the fireplace opening before fitting the limestone fireplace.

   

 

Option 2

 - When installing 

with

 a decorative fire frame, 

the limestone back panel 

must be fitted first and fully sealed to the fireplace opening

.  The gas appliance 

must then seal against the back panel.  
 
For more information on the installation of the gas appliance please refer to the 
relevant installation documentation that came with the appliance. 
 
When fitting the fireplace with a four piece back panel the gas appliance is raised 
from the hearth level.  It is essential that the gas appliance 

is installed and sealed

 

in the 

correct position

 of the wall in relation to the fireplace opening created by 

the four-piece back panel and hearth.  The diagram and table below indicates 
the finished opening for each fireplace. 
 
When fitting the fireplace with a three piece back panel the gas appliance should 
be installed at hearth level. 
 
 

 

 
 
Note that natural materials such as Portuguese limestone can have slight 
variances in thickness.  Please measure components to ensure that they 
correspond to the measurements given above.  If necessary make any relevant 
adjustments.
