3.4.
FITTING THE CLOSURE PLATE
(Figures 4 & 5)
3.4.1.
If a centre gas pipe connection is required
cut an opening at the bottom of the closure
plate. (The gap between the pipe and the
opening in the closure plate should be
sealed with tape after connection,)
3.4.2.
Hearth mounting
(figure 5)
The closure plate must be fitted and sealed
to the hearth and fireplace opening using a
suitable heat resistant material. If necessary
cut the closure plate. Leave the closure plate
sufficiently large to overlap the fireplace
opening by 25mm. Make sure that the
rectangular air relief openings are fully
within the fireplace opening.
3.4.3
Wall mounting
(Figure 6)
The closure plate must be fitted and sealed
to the fireplace opening using a suitable heat
resistant material. If necessary cut the
closure plate. Leave the closure plate
sufficiently large to overlap the fireplace
opening by 25mm. Make sure that the
rectangular air relief openings are fully
within the fireplace opening.
The bottom of the fire must be at least
102mm above any carpet or other floor
covering. To achieve this, the bottom of the
closure plate must also be at least 102mm
above the finished floor covering. The centre
of the flue spigot hole will be at least 486mm
above the finished floor covering.
1. To improve appearance, remove the
front adjustment screws from the bottom
bar of the fire.
2. Place the closure plate over the fireplace
opening in its proper position.
3. Mark the positions of the four wall fixing
holes. Use only the lower of the top two
pairs of holes.
4. Remove the plate. Drill and plug the wall
using no. 10 wall plugs.
5. Put the closure plate back in position.
Make sure that the holes line up with the
wall plugs. Seal the plate to the wall with
suitable heat resistant tape.
3.4.4.
Check the flue pull with closure plate fitted
by applying a lighted match or smoke match
to the flue spigot opening in the closure
plate and observe the smoke. If there is a
definite flow continue with the installation. If
not check the fitting of the closure plate. The
fireplace flue pull check described in section
3.2 should have confirmed that the fireplace
itself is satisfactory.
