The appliance can be fitted onto and inset into outside walls where the terminal
does fall into any of the prohibited positions mentioned in the next section. The
centre of the glass window is 157mm below the centre of the flue terminal. The
centre of the terminal should be positioned at least 700mm above floor level to
allow space for the fascia to drop down on its runners. If the fireplace has to be
altered a lintel will be required to support masonry over the opening and if it is
to be surface mounted the maximum wall thickness allowed is 405mm. If the
appliance is to be inset into the wall this may be increased to 525mm. If
required, a longer flue duct is available which allows the maximum wall
thicknesses to be increased to 800mm for the surface mount installation and
920mm for the inset installation.
