Spacers and Rebated Surrounds

When fitting a BBU HE unit with a Valor DimensionTM fire engine, both the unit and the back of the fire need to be contained within the chimney space. For installations where this space is not sufficient there are two options available:

1.Using a rebated surround: This is the simplest and most discrete solution. Rebated surrounds have a smaller inside return on both the legs and top panel. This allows the back panel to sit further forward, away from the wall, creating a larger space for the BBU HE and DimensionTM fire engine.

2.Using spacer kits: If a rebated surround is not an option, either because the customer wishes to keep their existing surround, or has selected a surround that is not available with a rebate, an additional spacer kit can be used. In these instances, the back panel is fitted as normal, and the DimensionTM fire engine which is visible beyond the back panel is covered with an additional spacer kit. The BBU HE spacer kits are 50mm deep, and can be joined together to achieve the required depth.
