Unit installation

9.2 Fitting to wall.

 Fit the flue tubes firmly over the

spigots at the rear of the fire. Make sure

that the seam on the flue tube is not at

the bottom. Push on until the outer (air)

tube just covers the slots in the

appliance outer spigot (See figure 18).

 Secure the flue to the fire by drilling

through the outer flue tube and outer

spigot at a distance of between 6mm &

7mm from the cut end of the outer flue

tube and securing with the two self

tapping screws supplied (See figure

18).

 Seal the flue unit all round the

circumference of the outer spigot with the tape supplied.

 Timber frame buildings: Offer the fire complete with flue unit through the insulating

sheet (mentioned in section 8.3). Fit a drip collar round the flue positioned so that it

will be located in the centre of the wall cavity (See figure 17). The drip collar can be

made by wrapping a non-corrosive wire round the flue or moulding a bead of mastic

round the flue. A timber frame flue clearance kit is available. Part no. 0583141.

 Case fixing to wall: Offer the fire complete with flue unit through the wall, Insert

the four fixing screws and tighten.

 Cable retention: Fit the eyebolts onto the cables. Thread the cables through the

appliance case sides as shown in figure 15. Offer the fire complete with flue unit

through the wall. Pull the cables taut.

 Timber frame building with combustible outer leaf (e.g. shiplap boarding): A metal

or other non-combustible end plate must be fitted on the outside of the wall. The plate

must be concentric with the flue and at least 254mm (10in) square or diameter (See

figure 17).

 Seal the outer flue tube to the outside surface of the wall with fireclay or cement.

Make sure that the slots in the flue terminal are not closer than 8mm to the wall and

are not obstructed by cement.
