There are no imitation fuel bed components to install. The appliance
features a ribbon burner which is designed to produce a continuous
band of flame over its length. The burner should be visually inspected
to ensure it is free from any foreign matter. If it is necessary to clean or
dust off the burner then the glass door should be removed by removal
of the four retaining screws. Re-fit the glass door after cleaning or
inspection, ensuring a good seal.
A qualified gas appliance installer must connect the gas room heater to
the gas supply. Consult all local codes.
Route gas line using techniques and materials prescribed by local
and/or national codes. Only use pipe of 1/2" or greater diameter to allow
full gas volume to the gas fireplace. Undue pressure loss will occur if
the pipe is too small.
The curved rear frame is supplied pre-assembled to the appliance - no
further preparation is necessary. Remove the wall mouting plate from the
appliance by removal of the two wingnuts located in the lower inner secion
of the firebox.
Follow the steps below:
Gas connection: The heater gas inlet connection is 3/8” NPT at the
regulator, located below the burner, in the right hand side of the heater.
There are four possible entry points for the gas supply pipework to enter the
appliance firebox. These entry points are ‘knock out’ type holes (shown in
figure 1).
Non-concealed gas connections may be made using the entry points at
either end of the firebox or the one in the bottom of the firebox. A concealed
gas connection may be made using the knock out hole in the centre back
of the firebox. Select
the most appropriate
entry point and knock
out the relevant hole.
If a concealed gas con-
nection is to be made,
the supply pipe should
always be sleeved
through walls and floors
using the shortest
possible route.
For concealed supply
pipe routing, pipes
must (where possible) be vertical and providing there is sufficient wall thick-
ness available, they should be placed in pipe chases. Horizontal pipe runs
should be avoided. Prior to chasing a solid wall, an inspection should be
made to note the proximity of any cables/sockets outlets which may already
be buried. Pipes must be secured using suitable clips and protected against
corrosion. Ideally factory finished protected pipework and fittings should be
used. Joints should be kept to a minimum and compression fittings must
not be used. The pipework installation must be tested for soundness before
any protection is applied and/or the pipework and fittings are buried.
After having selected the final mounting position of the appliance, tak-
ing into account the site requirements as specified in section 7 of these
instructions, the integrity of the wall, and the feasibility of the proposed
supply pipe routing, the firebox of appliance may be secured to the
wall.
A full size fitting template is supplied to assist with wall mounting.
If the heater is to be installed on a studded wall with conventional 16”
stud spacing then a wall mounting plate is supplied to enable this. First
locate the studs and using suitable fixings, screw the mounting plate to
the wall via the four mounting holes. The heater may then be hung
onto the mounting plate. The bottom of the heater may be secured
onto the lower mounting studs using the wingnuts or the hex nuts
provided.
Mark the positions shown as “Radium attachment points” on the wall.
If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional
cavity wall, or a solid wall, drill four holes using a 1/4” masonry bit.
Insert the fiber wall plugs provided.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed
construction wall then special cavity screw fixings will be required
which are not
supplied with this
product. These
should be
constructed from
metal and not
plastic.
If a concealed gas
connection is to be
made ensure the
gas supply pipe is in
it’s final position and
can enter the
appliance in the correct position when the appliance is hung on the
wall.
Insert the wall mounting screws into the top wall plugs, taking care to
leave the screws protruding approximately 3/8” from the wall. Now
hang the appliance onto these screws through the two keyhole shaped
holes in the back panel of the appliance.
Insert the lower mounting screws into the lower wall plugs through the
corresponding depressed holes in the lower part of the back panel. Do
not tighten fully.
Before tightening the wall mounting screws fully, at this stage it is
recommended to check the horizontal alignment of the appliance with
a spirit level, as small adjustments can still be made if necessary.
When this has been checked, tighten all four fixing screws fully.
