5. FIREPLACE CHECK
5.1 Soundness for appliance attachment.
Two primary methods of retaining the appliance are provided: -
1)
By fixing to the fireplace front surround.
2) Using concealed tension cables fixed to the rear of the fireplace opening together
with secondary fixing to the fireplace floor.
The methods are detailed in section 9 of this manual. Before selecting the retention
method, consult with the customer. Method 2 is provided for instances where drilling
holes in the front surface of the fireplace surround is unacceptable to the customer or
otherwise impractical.
N.B. It is unwise to attempt to drill into marble without the proper
tools and equipment .
If method 1 is chosen, make sure that the front surround area is sound enough to take
the fibre / wooden plugs and woodscrews. If necessary, make sound with suitable
cement.
If method 2 is chosen, make sure that the area at the back is sound enough to take the
eyebolts. If these areas have deteriorated due to prolonged use, they should be made
sound with suitable cement.
5.2 Fireplace flue pull.
Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed. After
confirming with a match that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram smoke pellet
and check that there is a definite flow through the flue. Verify outside that the smoke
exits from one terminal only and that the termination is suitable. Observe where
possible, upstairs rooms and loft spaces for signs of escaping smoke indicating a
defective flue. If there is not a definite flow warm the flue for a few minutes and repeat
the smoke pellet test. If there is still no definite flow the flue may need remedial work –
Do not fit the appliance until there is a definite flow through the flue.
