PREPARING THE OPENING (continued)
Cable fixing: For fixing the fire by the cable method, see relevant section.
Fixing by screw: Mark and drill the fireframe or base, and relevant points in the opening or on the wall. Use the wallplugs supplied in the
loose parts pack only.
Gas supply: Following preparation for the fixing method, the concealed gas supply (if required) can now be put into place. Refer to the rel-
evant section for suggested pipe routes. The ends of the sleeving in which the gas pipe is run should be sealed. The end of the 8mm sup-
ply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent the ingress of debris during fixing.
GAS SUPPLY ROUTING
When the opening is ready for installation of the fire, the gas supply can be routed as shown in the following diagrams.
An isolator cock or restrictor elbow must be fitted to the incoming supply to facilitate servicing.
If using a concealed supply it should be laid in accordance with the diagram below. Select the supply route most relevant to the entry
point of the gas supply into the fireplace opening.
If using an across the hearth connection, then the cast firefronts are notched and the supply pipe can be routed through this.
The gas pipe must be suitably protected where it passes through fireplace openings. Any sleeving should be sealed to the pipe at its ends.
The open end of the gas supply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent ingress of dust and dirt during installation.
CABLE FIXING
Drill four holes using a 8mm masonry bit to a depth of 42mm as shown in the dia-
gram and fit the wall plugs. If the fireplace does not allow for the exact layout
shown, the eyebolts should be fixed to give a similar configuration as possible.
Thread both tensioning cables through the holes at the top of the firebox, both
eyelets, and back through the lower holes in the firebox as shown in the photo-
graph. Before finally fitting the firebox, apply the self-adhesive sealing strips
around the rear of the firebox frame.
Push the appliance back into the fireplace, centralise and pull the loose cables
through the holes into the firebox.
Thread the cable tensioners onto the cables as shown, with the nuts screwed
down close to the tensioner head.
Slide the screwed nipple onto the cable, pull cable taut and tighten nipple.
Adjust tensioner using a suitable spanner to pull the appliance back into position, to allow an
even seal around the fireplace opening.
Visually inspect the seal and reseat if necessary.
Surplus tension cable MUST NOT be cut off as this will
prevent proper installation after servicing. Coil up the
surplus cable and tuck the coils out of the way as sug-
gested in the photograph.
