5.If required, mark the position of the gas and water pipes. Remove the template.

6.Cut the hole for the flue (minimum diameter 116mm).

7.Drill the wall as previously marked to accept the wall plugs supplied. Secure the wall plate using the fixing screws.

8.Using a spirit level ensure that the plate is level before finally tightening the screws.

9.Connect the gas and water pipes to the valves on the wall plate using the copper tails supplied. Ensure that the sealing washers are fitted between the connections.

10.2Flushing

1.Connect a tube to the central heating flow or return pipe (Fig. 31).
