1.7For further guidance on the installation of gas appliances in timber framed buildings, contact your local buildings control authority.

2.GAS SUPPLY

2.1Before installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (identification of the gas type and pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.

2.2Ensure that the gas supply is capable of delivering the required amount of gas, and is in accordance with the rules in force.

2.3Factory-sheathed/wrapped soft copper tubing with small ridges which allow pipe movement are considered to be a suitable alternative to a pipe sleeve, when recessing the unit into a cavity wall the gas supply is best fed through the wall from the outside. Soft soldered joints can only be used outside the appliance.

This appliance is an effective heat producer and attention must be paid to the construction and finish of the fireplace.

4.1This appliance must stand on a non combustible hearth that is at least 12mm thick. If the fire is greater than 50mm above the floor, then no hearth is required, although due consideration should be given to how the heat may affect the floor material.
