MiniMUM TooLinG
reQUireMenT
Clean rust free gauging trowels,
clean rubber buckets, at least one
for mixing adhesive and one for
clean water, clean white (non-
coloured) sponge, 3ft level, small
boat level, stainless steel/
galvanised ties, adjustable square,
tape measure, lump hammer,
bolster, coal chisel, drill with
assorted masonry drill bits, filling
knives, fixing adhesive (cement
based tiling adhesive ie Ardex
S16/W), white plaster (casting
plaster), marble glue (i.e. Steinkitt
vertical clear or white).
Do not attempt to install the
fireplace unless you have the
correct adhesives as mentioned
and all mechanical fixings.
PPe
Ensure in all steps of the
installation suitable protective
equipment is worn and you have
read and understood the relevant
COSHH sheets for all materials
used during the installation
process. COSHH sheets must be
obtained from relevant material
manufacturers’ suppliers.
fLUes
Ensure the flue has been swept,
tested and certificated by a suitably
qualified NACS registered chimney
sweep, to the standard required for
fuel you wish to burn. These are
Class 1 for both solid fuel and open
flue gas appliances, tested to BS
5871 for decorative fuel effect gas
fires and BS6461 for solid fuel
appliances supplied by Chesneys.
Subject to the diameter (surface
area), height/length of the flue, and
whether the opening will be fan
assisted, prepare the structural
opening size bearing in mind the
maximum working opening of the
associated flue. Ensure a throated
lintel is installed and the gather area
to the flue is smooth and tapered,
see Document J.
Gas sUPPLy
If a decorative fuel effect gas fire is
to be installed, run in an 8mm gas
pipe to a central rear position in the
structural opening. There should be
a 15mm supply adjacent to the
sub-hearth area. This pipe is then
reduced to 8mm and the 8mm feed
installer tip
it is always
advisable to
install a
throated lintel
