Whilst the fire box is still in position, decide which side the gas supply is
to enter the fire from. If concealed pipe work is required plan the pipe
run to enter the fire box through one of the openings in the sides or rear
of the fire box below the fuelbed support panel and connect to the
isolating / inlet elbow. The gas connection to the appliance should be
made to the isolating / inlet elbow using 8mm rigid tubing. There must
be no soldered joints within the firebox. See fig. 5a & 5b below for
suggested concealed pipe layouts.

Note : Before breaking into the gas supply a pressure drop test should be
carried out to establish that the existing pipework is sound.
Carefully withdraw the fire box from the opening to enable the gas supply and fire
fixing to be completed.
