INSTALLATION - Class One Flue with Flexible Liner
9
Ensure that the existing fire place lintel is made of
non-combustible material.
1. Measure down 475mm (Ethos Landscape), 630mm
(Ethos Portrait) from the underside of the fireplace lintel
and make a mark on the wall.
2. Construct a suitable non-combustible platform large
enough to sit the fire box on ensuring the top surface is
level with the mark on the wall. If the depth of chimney
breast does not facilitate a rear gas connection,
allowance must be made for the 8mm gas feed pipe to
enter the base of the fire box through the platform
(Fig. 10).
Under no circumstances should combustible
materials such as wood be used in the construction
of the platform, due to the high temperatures that
the fire box reaches.
3. Insert the end of the flexible flue liner into the flue
plate ensuring that the cable is at the front and secure
with the three self tapping screws provided, then seal
around the joint using a proprietary fire cement or
mastic (Fig. 12).
4. Feed the cable provided through the hole in the flue
plate as shown.
5. Feed the cable through the hole in the top flange of
the fire box from the rear (Fig. 11).
6. Locate the front of the flue plate into the runners on
top of the fire box (Fig. 12).
7. When the flue plate is located in the runners carefully
pull the cable from the front of the fire and slide the fire
box into the opening at the same time. The flue plate
will slide through the runners and locate the flue over
the opening in the fire box (Fig. 12).
8. With the tab pulled through the slot in the flange of
the fire box, pull tight and bend the tab upwards to
secure (Fig. 13).
9. Cut of the remaining cable flush with the front of the
fire box (Fig. 13).
10. Secure the fire box to the wall using the fixing holes
provided in the fire box flange (Fig. 14).
