Non-concealed gas connections may be made using the entry points on the base of the firebox. A concealed gas connection may be made using the knockout hole in the center back of the firebox. Select the most appropriate entry point and knock out the relevant hole.

If a concealed gas connection is to be made, the supply pipe should always be sleeved through walls and floors using the shortest possible route.

For concealed supply pipe routing, pipes must (where possible) be ver­ tical and providing there is sufficient wall thickness available, they should be placed in pipe chases. Horizontal pipe runs should be avoided where possible. Prior to chasing a solid wall, an inspection should be made to note the proximity of any cables/sockets outlets which may already be buried. Pipes must be secured using suitable clips and protected against corrosion. Ideally factory finished protected pipe-work and fittings should be used. Joints should be kept to a minimum and compression fittings must not be used. The pipe-work installation must be tested for soundness before any protection is applied and/or the pipe-work and fittings are buried.

10.0 MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE

After having selected the final mounting position of the appliance, taking into account the site requirements as specified in Section 8 of these instruc- tions, the integrity of the wall, and the feasibility of the proposed supply pipe routing, the firebox of appliance may be secured to the wall.

To ensure customer safety, be sure to design the installation so that the strength of both the wall and any wall fixings used are sufficient. Lennox Hearth Products assumes absolutely no responsibility for injuries and damages that may occur due to improper installation or handling.

The appliance should not be installed until all dry wall sanding and wall painting has been completed.

WARNING

The wall where the appliance is to be installed must be capable of long-term support of the total load of the appliance. Measures should also be taken to ensure sufficient strength to withstand the force of earthquakes, vibration and other external forces.

Incorrect installation can cause the appliance to fall from the wall and cause injury. Do not block the ventilation holes of the appliance. The wall onto which the appliance is installed must be flat. Install only on a vertical surface. Avoid sloped surfaces. Installation onto anything other than a vertical wall may result in fire, damage or injury.

A full size fitting template is supplied to assist with wall mounting.

Mark the positions shown as “Fixing Points” on the wall. If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity wall, or a solid wall, drill four holes using a 1/4” masonry bit. Insert the fiber wall plugs provided.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then special cavity screw fixings will be required which are not supplied with this product. These should be constructed from metal and not plastic.

If a concealed gas connection is to be made ensure the gas supply pipe is in it’s final position and can enter the appliance in the correct position when the appliance is hung on the wall.
