ROPING GUIDE FOR FLUE
OUTLET AND HOT PLATE
All Villager hot plates and spigots are
manufactured with a rope groove to accept our
high temperature self adhesive sealing rope
supplied.
This eliminates the need for messy and caustic fire
cement, and allows for easy removal for inspection
and cleaning, without the accompanying re-sealing
mess associated with fire cement.
To seal the hot plate and spigot proceed as
follows:
1)The self adhesive sealing rope for the hot plate
and spigot is supplied in a single length of
1300mm and needs to be cut in half to begin with.
2) Each length of approximately 650mm should be
fitted into the groove on the mating face of the hot
plate or spigot. See Fig. 1.
3) Start by removing a small section of the
adhesive backing paper (approx. 25mm) and
remove the remaining backing paper as you
proceeded.
4) Begin at the rope overlap point, mid way be-
tween the securing lugs and work your way around
the groove making sure the rope is pressed accu-
rately and firmly into the groove. Finish the rope
approximately 10mm past the start point.
5) If the rope is allowed to ride up the side of the
receiving groove, rather than sitting squarely, in
the middle, it will impede the fitting of the hot
plate / spigot and may lead to leaks. See Fig. 2.
6) Finally press round the sealing rope with a steel
rule or similar device, to ensure adhesion is even.
Repeat for the remaining casting.

FITTING THE FLUE OUTLET AND
HOT PLATE
Take the flue spigot and lock into place by
rotating anti-clockwise and tighten by tapping with
a block of wood and mallet from inside of the
appliance. Similarly, fit the hot plate (blanking
plate) to the unused opening.
Place appliance on the hearth and make sure that
it is level and does not rock.
Connect the chimney ensuring all joints are sealed
with fire cement.
Note : The flue pipe must be fitted inside the outlet
spigot. Failure to do so could result in the spillage
of condensation running down the flue.
SEALING OF TERMINALS
If an add in boiler is not to be fitted, please
ensure that the two partially cut circular terminals
(located on the rear of the appliance) are sealed
with fire cement, and thus preventing surplus air
entering the firebox, resulting in less efficiency
and poor fuel consumption.
