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.

A nut and olive are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the elbow at the bottom
front of the appliance. The elbow can be rotated to allow a connection from any
direction. The elbow includes a valve for isolating the gas supply.
The supply pipe must be rigid material. Flexible pipe must not be used.
6.1
Concealed Supply Pipe Connection
If a concealed connection from inside the fireplace is required then,
before the
appliance is fitted into the fireplace
it will be necessary to extend the supply line so
that it will project through the sealed opening at the back of the convection box (near the
left side) and run to the elbow at the front
The pipe run from the supply line up to the rear opening in the convection box must be
kept clear of the area which will be taken by the convection box when it is installed. A
template is supplied to aid the installation of the pipe run.
We recommend the following method for installing with a concealed supply pipe:
1.
Cut the template to the shape shown by the “Debris catchment area”. Note that the areas
are different for fireplaces with conventional brick flues and precast flues.
2.
Place the template on the fireplace floor (printed side upward) with the front line level
with the front surface of the fireplace. The centre line of the template should line up with
the centre of the fireplace. Tape the template securely in this position.
3.
Make sure that the fireplace is clear of all material over the full area covered by the
template including that marked
“Debris catchment area”
.
4.
Install the supply pipe to run through the thick line marked “
Supply pipe entry”
and up
to the inlet elbow position. Note that the centre of the appliance inlet elbow is 18mm
above the fireplace floor. The inlet elbow should be removed from the appliance and
fitted to the supply pipe at this stage. Remove the template.
Note: If the supply pipe
connection is to be from the right side, keep the template, It will be useful for bending
the pipe later on (See section 9.1).
