Installation of the Fire, Cable Retention Method

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION

5.3Decide on the retention method. If cable fixings are to be used remove the lower cover plate by unscrewing the three screws., Diagram 3.

Then remove the two knockout holes on the rear of the box using a sharp hammer blow, Diagram 4.

AR1369

5.4Remove the backing from the self-adhesive silicone sealing strip and apply to the rear flange of the firebox ensuring that it is positioned as close to the outer edge as is practically possible, Diagram 5.

AR1369

5.5Gas pipe entry must come through the right-hand side of the box. The rubber seal must be cut using a sharp knife to allow the isolating elbow to pass through it. Ensure the rubber is not damaged when doing this.

A means of isolation is provided with the fire. This must be fitted to the supply pipe prior to installing the firebox.

6.INSTALLATION OF THE FIRE

6.1Ensure that the fireplace opening is in compliance with Section 2 Site Requirements then proceed as follows:

A)CABLE RETENTION METHOD

6.2Mark the position of the 4 fixing holes on the rear of the fireplace opening and drill the holes using a 6.5mm masonry drill bit. Insert the 4 fibre rawl plugs and screw the eyebolts in as far as possible leaving the eye horizontal, Diagram 6.

6.3Pass the 2 cables through the holes in the bracket on the back of the firebox and pull taut so that the stop ends sit tightly against the top of the bracket, Diagram 7

AR1155

6.4Pass the cables vertically through the 2 sets of eyebolts and thread the ends through the holes in the lower back of the firebox. Pass the gas supply pipe through the hole in the rubber seal (refer to section 5.5) and push the fire into place.

6.5Thread the cables through the tensioner bolts and push the threaded portions through the holes in the firebox so that the lock nut sits against the back wall (ensure that the nut is screwed fully up to the head of the tensioner to allow maximum adjustment).

6.6Slide the locking nipples onto the cables, pull the cables taut and tighten the locking screw. Adjust the lock nuts using a 10mm spanner until the silicone sealing strip forms a tight seal between the fireplace opening and the firebox flange, Diagram 8
