Installation Of The Gas Supply

BS 6891

NOTE: Ensure that the gas supply is capable of delivering the required amount of gas, and is in accordance with the relevant current standards.

It is generally preferred to conceal the gas supply by bringing it under the hearth, or through masonry to the rear of the ﬁreplace.

3. Gas Connection

The gas connection to the insert is an 8mm ﬁtting. The maximum length of 8mm pipe leading to the appliance must be less than 1 meter. Supply pipe to the point of connection to the 8mm must be of a minimum 15mm or larger as the gas ﬂow rate requires.

4. Appliance Location

a) This insert must be mounted on a non combustible hearth. The hearth must have a minimum of 12mm non combustible material thickness.

b) The insert is not suitable for installation into a rear combustible wall, any combustible materials must be removed from an area of 200mm around the installation of the appliance.

c) There must be a minimum of 200mm from the top of the insert to the underside of any combustible shelf, Note that for every 50mm increase on clearance, the shelf may project by a further 50mm.

d) The appliance must not be installed in a room or space which contains a bath or shower.

e) Any manufactured surround used with this insert should comply with the appropriate British standard.

f) Do not place furniture or furnishing within 1 metre of the insert.

g) Do not obstruct the area directly beneath the insert as this may block the passage of air into the appliance.

Housing requirements.

The shaded box shows the absolute minimum housing size required for the Insert gas stove to be installed where all the housing components are of non combustible materials which remain stable at high temperatures. If it is proposed to utilize the optional duct vents (see pages 12 & 19 for further details) the larger vertical height measurement “B” will be required to allow access for ﬁtting the ducts when the stove is in its installed position. If it is proposed to instal the stove in anything other than a brick or cement block housing it will be necessary to increase the housing size to give a minimum clearance of 200mm after several layers of “Glasroc” or similar heat proof, insulating material, have been attached to the housing walls.

If the provision of hot air duct outlets are to be utilized, similar care should be taken when routing the ducts. Although they will never reach temperatures as high as the ﬂue, they will inevitably reach similar temperatures to the stove body at the point at which they connect with the stove, and although they will reduce in temperature as the distance from the stove increases precautions should be taken to insulate them from combustible materials.

The front wall of the housing will be subject to both the heat of the convected air and the radiated heat from the ﬁre. Although the convected heat will be considerably reduced if the stove is utilizing its duct vents the front wall will inevitably become very warm. Insulating the inside of the front wall will reduce the temperature and facing the wall with an insulating material e.g. “Glasroc” will reduce the temperature even further, but it must never be forgotten that the stove is a heating appliance and not an animated imitation of the real thing.

Nothing burns without air and the fuel in your stove will require a supply of air. Relying on a natural ingress of air into the room is often unsatisfactory. By planning for air ventilation as part of the stove’s installation allows you to position the air inlet where it has the shortest run to reach the stove which will prevent the occupants being subjected to a draught of cold air.

Insert aperture requirements

1) Fireplace aperture design for slot in installation. The ﬂue connection can be made as the insert is ﬁtted.

2) For installations with heat vent pipes, space (C) must be allowed for the vent pipe installation, space (C) can be ﬁlled as required.

7. Installation of the Flue System

Refer to section 8 to determine which ﬂue systems are suitable for your insert size, having selected a suitable ﬂue system, please follow the applicable installation method. Important in all installations the ﬂue outlet of the appliance must be connected to the chimney system with connecting ﬂue pipe.

Flue and Chimney Requirements

BS 5440 : PART 1

Before installation of the appliance, the chimney or ﬂue system must be inspected and passed as suitable. In particular, the following should be checked:

a) This appliance is suitable for installation onto the following ﬂue types: A suitable sized diameter ﬂexible or fabricated steel ﬂue system, or a standard masonry chimney.

(see appliance data for ﬂue size)

NOTE: Any steel ﬂue systems used should be manufactured in line with the requirements of BS 715, and installed with due regard to the manufacturers recommendation or any new regulations issued during the life of these instructions.

b) The minimum effective height of the chimney or ﬂue must be 3 metres (10ft) measured from the hearth to the termination of the ﬂue (chimney pot). If the ﬂue has any non vertical sections the height should be increased in line with BS 5440 : Part 1.

c) The chimney or ﬂue must be free from any obstruction. Any ﬂue damper or restrictor must be removed or permanently ﬁxed in the fully open position.

d) The chimney should be swept prior to installation of the stove. However, if the ﬂue is clean and unobstructed throughout its entire length, it need not be swept.

e) Ensure that only one ﬁreplace is served by the chimney or ﬂue system.

f) Ensure that the chimney or ﬂue system is continuous from inlet to termination.

g) Ensure that the chimney is structurally sound so the combustion products do not come into contact with combustible materials outside the chimney.

NOTE:

A guide is published by the ‘British Flue and Chimney Manufacturers’ Association’ which

contains general information on chimneys and ﬂues. It can be obtained from:

Sterling House, 6, Furlong, Bourne End, Bucks, SL8 5DG.

h) Installation to a ﬂue pipe system should be in accordance with the ﬂue pipe manufacturers installation instructions.

IMPORTANT: The ﬂue pipe system should be manufactured in line with BS 715, it should be either a ﬂexible ﬂue liner or a rigid tubular steel construction, and it must be continuous from appliance outlet spigot to terminal.

IF IT IS INTENDED TO FIT INTO AN EXISTING MASONRY BUILT CHIMNEY SYSTEM INCLUDING THOSE THAT ARE TERRACOTTA LINED, A SUITABLE DIAMETER FLEXIBLE FLUE LINER MUST BE USED. We would not recommend installation without a ﬂexible or other similar liner.

The insert is factory assembled for top ﬂue connection.

i) The ﬂue system may now be connected to the insert, ensure that all joints are sealed with a suitable ﬁre resistant sealant. It is also recommended that a physical retention method be used at the ﬂue spigot joint, self tapping screws being favoured.

Insert Construction Methods

This section is a general guide for installing and designing the ﬁreplace or ﬁreplace surround.

a) The ﬁnal aperture opening will be dependant on the heat distribution method chosen. The heat produced by the insert can either be directed completely through the appliance or partially vented to chamber above the stove and then into the room, or partially vented to adjoining rooms by vent pipes.

1) Full insert venting to room of installation.

2) Venting by open chamber and insert convection
