5.1 Builders Opening (Fig. 9)
1. The boiler unit is designed to fit within a standard builders
opening, the MINIMUM dimensions of which are as shown.
Height 630mm
Width 560mm
Depth 450mm
“ “ 400mm (with spacer)
“ “ 486mm (Regalia ONLY)
The minimum depth is measured to the surround or finished
wall face against which the firefront sits. From the back to the
INSIDE of the front face of the builders opening should be at
least 400mm to allow access. These dimensions take account
of the use of, for example, a marble surround.
2. The opening should be soundly constructed of brick, pre-
cast concrete or be a proprietary builders opening.
3. The base of the builders opening should be sound and
non-combustible and must be flat and level.
4. The base should be at the same height as the finished level
of any hearth, as the electric firefronts are intended for hearth
mounting. A wall mounting kit is available for Dimension
Innova models.
NOTE: If a false chimney breast is intended to house the
boiler a simulated builders opening, within the breast, must
be provided.
5. The builders opening must not communicate with voids,
pipe ducts or spaces other than the room in which the
appliance is situated.
5.2 Location
1. The appliance must be installed in the living space of a
dwelling. It is recommended that it is a ground floor location.
2. Restrictions to the siting of the appliance are covered by BS
5546. The appliance may not be installed in bathrooms or
shower rooms. bedrooms or bed sitting rooms.
5.3 Fireplace Opening & Surround
1. If a fireplace surround is to be used, it must be centrally
placed and have opening sizes as shown in Fig. 9.
5.4 Firefront Spacer Kit
1. To accommodate the firefront it may be necessary to use
a Spacer Kit. The Spacer increases the effective depth of the
opening by 50mm.
2. See the instructions supplied with the firefront for full
details.
NOTE: The 50mm spacer is supplied with the firefront and
must always be used as it accommodates the Boiler
Control. This does not constitute a Spacer Kit.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
If the depth of BUILDERS opening is at the
minimum (i.e. 400mm) it will be necessary to
use a Spacer Kit (see Section 5.4).
All dimensions in this section are general
RECOMMENDATIONS. It may be possible to
install & maintain the appliance when some of
the dimensions are different.
For example, the Fireplace Opening could be
narrower than recommended if the Builders
Opening depth is such that it allows the boiler
to be situated sufficiently far back to allow
access.
Each installation must be considered individually
due to the diverse characteristics of Fireplace &
Builders Openings.
All Builders Opening dimensions allow use of
the R.H. Plumb Kit.
