➠
Connect the concentric pipe sections and any necessary bends;
➠
Fit a clamping strip and silicone sealing ring to every connection;
➠
Secure the clamping strip with a self-tapping screw in places which will be inaccessible after installation;
➠
Use enough brackets to ensure that the weight of the pipes does not rest on the appliance;
➠
Determine the remaining length of the roof duct;
➠
Cut the roof duct to size.
!N.B.
Be sure to maintain the correct insertion length.
➠
Connect the roof duct to the concentric pipes.
!N.B.
- Make sure the universal roof tile fits well against the surrounding tiles;
- Make sure the adhesive flashing sticks to the flat roof properly.

Thechimneybreastshouldbeventilatedbyvents.
N.B.
- Use incombustible and heat-resistant material to construct the chimney breast, including rear wall of the chimney
breast;
- The total free vent area of the vents, installed as high as possible, should be at least 200 cm
2
.
!N.B.
When building the chimney breast, the following points should be taken into account (see
Fig. 2
):
- position of the control box: this should be placed within 850 mm to the left or right of the appliance, as low as possible;
- size of the control box; see section 6.7 Installing the control box;
- position of the vents;
- the size of the glass window so that it can be fitted/removed once the chimney breast has been built;
- protecting the gas control block and hoses from cement and plaster.
!Tip
The vents should preferably be created in both sides of the chimney breast: you could use DRU ventilation elements.
➠
Check that the concentric system has been installed correctly;
➠
Check that the clamping strips have been secured with self-tapping screws in places which will be inaccessible later;
➠
Allow sufficient clearance round the appliance in the chimney breast to enable the heat to disperse:
- minimum internal height: 1350 mm;
- minimum internal width: 1450 mm.
➠
Do not plaster over the flanges because:
- the heat from the appliance could cause cracks;
- it will then be impossible to remove/fit the glass window.
➠
If the chimney breast is of materials similar to stone, or is finished with plaster, it should be dried-out at least 6 weeks
before commissioning, in order to prevent cracks.

fordetails.)
➠
Make a 285 x 194 mm (h x w) opening in the chimney breast;
➠
Fit the inner frame (1); to do this unscrew the bolts (5).
!Tip
- If the chimney breast is brick, the inner frame can be cemented in during building;
- For a chimney breast of any other material, glue/cement the inner frame in place or fit it with four countersunk
screws.
