INSTALLATION METHOD 4
This method allows for a ‘hole in the wall’ installation of the appliance with the rear part recessed
into the inner leaf of a cavity wall. The structural integrity of the wall must be maintained. The wall
must be non-combustible.
Refer to section 6.4 (recessing into a non-combustible wall).
Eko 5530 models :
If the appliance is to be wall mounted then the entire base of the appliance must be
supported by a non-combustible shelf. It may be desirable for the shape of the shelf to follow the profile of
the appliance. In this case the footprint of the appliance is shown in figure 10, and any flush fitting shelf
design may be calculated from the measurements given.
Eko 5510 & Eko 5520 models :
If the appliance is to be wall mounted then the entire base of the appliance
must be supported by a non-combustible shelf. The dimensions of such a shelf are given in section 4.0 (site
requirements).
FINAL FITTING
If not previously carried out, insert the firebox into the opening. If the appliance is to be screw fixed to the
back panel/wall or inside of the opening then suitable locations for such fixings should be established, and
a suitable number and type of such fixings should be established to ensure the appliance is securely fixed.
There are no purpose provided screw fixing points provided on the firebox as the location of these points
will vary from installation to installation, depending on the strength of the surrounding materials and the
various sizes of opening that the appliance may be required to fit into. A cable fixing kit, however, is pro-
vided and should be used wherever possible as the default fixing method.
Carefully insert the firebox into the opening and guide the gas pipe through the sealing grommet into its
final routing position and fit the restrictor inlet elbow supplied to the gas pipe. Secure the firebox by insert-
ing screws in the previously prepared locations (if screw fixing) or refer to the following section if cable fix-
ing.
CABLE FIXING
When using this method for fixing, the minimum depth of the opening must be increased from 105 mm to
125 mm. This is to allow for the eyebolts and a space for the cable tensioning. Remove the appliance glass
panel by removal of the four retaining screws. Remove the
burner unit - refer to section 9.2.
Drill four holes as shown in figure 11 and fit the fibre
rawlplugs. If the fireplace does not allow for the exact lay-
out shown, the eyebolts should be fixed to give as similar a
configuration as possible. Thread both tensioning cables
through the holes in the protruding tabs on the rear of the
firebox then through the eyelets and back through the lower
holes in the firebox.
Push the firebox back into the fireplace, centralise, pull the
loose cables through the holes and into the bottom of the
cavity box. Thread the cable tensioners onto the cables with
the nuts screwed down close to the tensioner head. Slide
the screwed nipple onto the cable, pull cable taut and tight-
en nipple. Adjust tensioner using a suitable spanner to pull
the appliance back into position, to allow an even pull
around the fireplace opening. Visually inspect and repeat if necessary to achieve a good fit.
Note: Surplus cable MUST NOT be cut off, as this will prevent proper re-installation after servicing.
Coil up the surplus cable and tuck the coils out of the way.
