2.5
INSTALLATION OF THE GAS SUPPLY (INTO STUDDED WALL OR
EXISTING CHIMNEY BREAST)
Before installing the combustion chamber, decide from which side or if a
rear connection to the gas supply is required. Plan the pipe run to enter
the below the firebox from the left, right or rear and connect to the inlet
elbow. See figure 10, 11 & 12 below.
Note : Before breaking into the gas supply a pressure drop test
should be carried out to establish that the existing pipework is
sound. Always insert the grommet into the entry point used (a
sharp blow with a hammer or chisel will be sufficient to knock out
the opening selected in the firebox) and with the grommet fitted
cut with a sharp knife to allow the supply pipework to pass
through into the firebox.
