12.1 - FIRE SURROUND APPLICATIONS
If a fire surround is being used we supply a Cable Fixing System as Drill Fixing may result in cracking of the back panel, which may not
show until the fire has got hot and then cooled down over a number of operations.
If the fire is being fitted against a Masonry Wall then the Fires Fixing Brackets with Drill/ Rawlplug Fixing Must be used and Not the Cable
Fixing System. See the Wall Fixing and Cable Fixing Diagrams on Page 20.
Nu-Flame does not recommend the use of a 1 piece back panel as cracking can occur.
Nu-Flame will not accept responsibility for Cracked Back Panels due to Drill Fixing.
