INSTALLATION INTO A CHAIRBRICK
Note: Ensure that the gas supply is isolated before commencing installation of the appliance.
Smoke test the flue to ensure proper draw and that there are no leaks present.
Locate the gas supply point. This appliance is suitable for all gas connections, including those
concealed behind the opening.
Important Note: Check that the thermocouple connection nut
into the rear of the valve is secure.
Place the appliance into the shaped firebrick, ensuring it does not protrude forward of the fire-
place opening. Mark the location of the front support of the tray. Remove the tray and drill the
two marked holes with an appropriate masonry bit. Place fibre rawl plugs into the holes. Remove
the front support from the appliance by unscrewing from the two front legs.
Position the front foot in the over the holes and secure the front support using suitable screws
into the prepared holes. Re-fit the tray into the shaped firebrick, and secure the front legs of the
tray to the support
GAS SUPPLY ROUTING
When the opening is ready for installation of the fire, the gas supply can be routed to the appli-
ance. Either an ‘over the hearth’ routing, or a concealed routing may be selected, dependant on
the layout of the fireplace, and the location of the incoming supply pipwork.
The gas pipe must be suitably protected where it passes through fireplace openings. Any sleev-
ing should be sealed to the pipe at its ends. This appliance is fitted with an inlet restrictor elbow.
The open end of the supply pipe should be sealed temporarily during the installation of the fire-
box to prevent the ingress of dirt and dust. Using 8mm diameter pipe, connect the appliance to
the gas supply point.
The appliance must be fitted with rigid or semi-rigid pipe of 8mm external diameter. The appli-
ance is factory fitted with an inlet restrictor elbow.
Use a minimum length of 8mm pipe, less than 1.5m where possible, as a long run of pipe may
cause an unacceptable drop in the supply pressure.
The Elegance, Blenheim and Elysee firefronts are specially notched to allow the gas pipe to pass
through when an over hearth supply is necessary.
FUEL BED LAYOUT
Please see the relevant section of the user instructions.
FITTING THE FIREFRONT
The appliance may be supplied with one of a number of diffrent firefronts available.
Place the firefront directly in front of the fire and slide the ashpan door into place. The Lulworth
front may be screwed to the hearth if required.
Do not use any firefront other than the one supplied with the appliance.
TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with current edition of
BS5891.
