13.1 This fire has been supplied with a 300mm long flexible inlet connection to make connecting
the gas supply easy and safe. Solid pipe should be run to within 100mm of the front right
hand corner of the fire and connected to the end of the supplied flexible hose via a 15mm
flared union (supplied with the Gas Fire).
13.2 The Outer Skin Kit has 3 possible entry points for solid gas pipe, on the two rear corners and
the front right. Each is sealed by a ‘knock-out’. Remove only the knock-out which you
require, and place the supplied rubber plug into the hole. You will need to make a small cut
into the rubber plug to allow the gas pipe to pass through, keeping the plug as air-tight as
possible.
13.3 This flexible pipe should be attached to the copper supply pipe and the joint tested to ensure
gas tightness. The end of the flexible connection pipe has a flare fitting and nut to suit ½
inch (12.7mm) copper pipe.
13.4 If the room has not been completed and the wall surfaces are yet to be lined or plastered the
fire must not be installed into the Outer Skin Kit until such time that there will be no further
sanding. This will prevent dust from entering the product. Preferably the Fireplace should be
commissioned after the walls have been painted.
