10. HOTBOX INSTALLATION
10.1 Method 1 - Cable retention and floor fixing.
1.
Make sure that the relevant areas at the fireplace back or floor are sound enough
to take the eye screws ‘M’ and
wood screws ‘H’. If these areas
have deteriorated due to
prolonged use they should be
made sound with suitable
cement.
2.
Drill four holes in the rear wall
of the fireplace for the wall plugs
‘F’. The holes should be drilled
within the range of positions
shown in figure 15 using a
suitably sized masonry drill bit
for the wall plugs supplied. The
holes should be equidistant each
side of the centre line of the
fireplace to ensure that the
appliance finishes centrally in the
opening when tension is applied
to the cables.
Never use wall
plugs other than those
supplied.
3.
Place the hotbox unit close to
the fireplace but allow sufficient
access into the fireplace opening
so that the cables can be
threaded through the eye screws
and returned through the back of the hotbox. If a
concealed connection is being used, insert the
hotbox into the fireplace feeding the supply pipe
through the pierced hole in the rear grommet.
4.
The hotbox has two holes at each side of the
spillage plate. Insert one end of each cable (one
cable each side) from the back through the lower
of the two holes and return the end through the
upper of the holes (See figure 16). Give the
cables a pull so that they grip against the hotbox
flanges.
5.
Thread the cables through the eye screws.
Return the cables through the holes near the bottom of the hotbox back panel (See
