UK IRL

3 Installation requirements

Note: Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs. Therefore it is of
importance that you do not use the appliance shortly after a renovation of the home.
Because of the natural circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint,
building materials, carpet etc. will be attracted. These components can settle onto cold
surfaces in the form of soot.
As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown vinyl wallpaper placed
too near to the appliance may become scorched or discoloured. This should be born in
mind when installing the appliance.

3.1 Builders opening

The Relaxed L can be build in a non-combustible fire place or builders opening. This could
be either an existing builders opening or a new made prefab builders opening.
When you apply your own false chimney breast design to the Relaxed L you have to meet
these general requirements:

• The false chimney breast has to be made of inflammable material

• Always install the appliance before building up the false chimney breast

• Check figure 2-3 for the dimensions

• Always ventilate the space above

the appliance using vents to assure a good air-

circulation

• The plaster of the outside has to be resistant to a high temperature. Therefore use the
plaster materials especially made for this, to prevent discolouring (min. 100 °C
temperature resistant)

• Make sure the plaster dries well before using the appliance. Let the thickness in mm be
the number of days the plaster has to dry

3.1.1 False chimney breast Relaxed L frameless

• Use the steel building guide (fig. 2-1) mounted on the front of the appliance

• Make a framework of metal studs around the steel building guide; keep in mind the

thickness of the Promatec you use!

• Place metal studs at every corner of the false chimney brest; keep in mind the
thickness of the Promatec you use!

• Build with Promatec around the steel building guide (fig.2-2)

• Build the rest of the false chimney brest

• Use 12 mm Promatec for the front of the false chimney breast.

> > > > 8

UK IRL

3.1.2 False chimney brest RELAXED L with frame

• Make a framework of metal studs around building guides A and B (fig. 3-1); keep in
mind the thickness of the Promatec you use!

• Place metal studs at every corner of the false chimney brest; keep in mind the
thickness of the Promatec you use!

• Build with Promatec around the appliance against the building guides A and B (fig.3-1);
keep in mind that the appliance has to stick out of the walll and therefore nothing
must be build before the building guides!

• Build the rest of the false chimney brest

3.2 Flue requirements

• The appliance is of the type C11/C31. The appliance will need to be supplied with

the approved flue pipes and terminal, it is not possible to supply your own

• a horizontal extension with elbows is allowed for a maximum of 5 meters

(depending on the situation)

• Minimal 1 meter vertical and maximal 12 meters vertical (depending on situation)

Determine on the base of the example calculations in Appendix A and on the base of the
table in Appendix B if the desired situation is possible. To establish this you will need to
calculate:

• The effective height (this is the real difference in height between the upper side of

the appliance and the terminal)

• The total horizontal extension. This is the total horizontal flue length where:

1. each 90-degree bend, which is in the horizontal area, counts for 2 meter

2. each 45-degree bend, which is in the horizontal area, counts for 1 meter

3. elbows and bends at the transition of horizontal to vertically are not to be
counted

4. the wall mounted terminal or roof terminal counts for 1 meter

3.2.1 Terminal position

Verify if the required terminal position meets the local installation regulations regarding
disturbance, good functioning and ventilation (see also appendix G).
Note:

• The terminal must be located so that the outlet is not obstructed. If the flue
terminal is located within 2 meters of a footway path or where people could come
into contact with it, then a suitable terminal guard must be fitted

9 < < < <

UK IRL

• Terminals located close to shared walkways, footpaths etc. could be subject to
legal constraints and this should be pointed out to the customer before installation.
If in any doubt about flue location advice should be sought from local building
control, or if appliance-related, from the manufacturer including wherever possible
a dimensioned sketch

• Avoid locating the terminal in close proximity to plastic materials such as gutters or
other combustibles. If this is unavoidable then a suitable deflector should be made.

• Some important requirements for a good functioning are

• The wall-mounted terminal has to be at least 0,5 m off

o Corners of the building
o Below eaves
o Balcony's etc. unless the duct is dragged to the front side of the overhanging part
o The roof mounted terminal has to be at a distance of at least 0.5 meters of the

sides of the roof, excluded the ridge

3.2.2 Using an existing chimney as air inlet

You can connect the appliance onto an existing chimney. The existing chimney then
functions as air supply, where a flexible stainless steel liner (to BS715) of 100 mm performs
the flue function.
Requirements:

• Any existing chimney used as an air supply must only service this a0ppliance.

• A chimney that has previously been used for solid fuel must be swept before use.

• The existing chimney needs to be airtight.

• The existing chimney needs to have an opening of min. 150 x 150 mm.

• The chimney needs to be intact and well looked after.

• Use the adjustable roof-mounted-terminal especially made for this, and the

chimney connection set.

- A horizontal extension with elbows is allowed for a maximum of 5 meters (depending

on the type and situation)

- Vertical max. 12 meters. (depending on the type and situation)

Determine on the base of Appendix A and B depending on the type and terminal position, if
the desired situation is possible. To establish this you will need to calculate:

- The effective height (this is the real difference in height between the upper side of the
appliance and the terminal);

- The total horizontal extension. This is the total horizontal flue length where:

o Each elbow, which is in the horizontal area, counts for 2 meters;
o Each 45-degree bend, which is in the horizontal area, counts for 1 meter;
o Elbows and bends at the transition of horizontal to vertically are not to be

counted;

o The wall mounted terminal counts for 1 meter.

4.9.2 Flue restrictor

If applicable, in the table is also stated the size of a flue restrictor. This restrictor needs

The appliance is preset to give the correct heat input. No further adjustment is necessary.
Always check the inlet pressure and burner pressure:

• Turn off the gas valve on the appliance

• Turn the inlet pressure test point C and apply the manometer

• Check if the measured pressure is the same as the prescribed pressure

• Perform this measuring when the appliance burns on full capacity and when only the pilot

ignition burns

• When the pressure is too low, check if the gas pipes are made of material with the right

diameter

• When the pressure is too high (more than 5 mBar overpressure) you may not install the

appliance and you should contact your gas company

• Always check the burner pressure when the functional pressure is right

• Open the burner pressure test point D

• The pressure should match the described pressure. If this is not the case, then contact the

supplier

Note: After checking the burner pressure, the inlet pressure test point has to be shut and
checked for gas-tightness.

Appendix C: Installation of the flue

Connection with use of concentric duct material

 Make a hole of ø 153 mm for the wall or roof mounted terminal.
 The horizontal pipes need to rise away from the appliance at a rate of 3 degrees

per metre

 Build the system starting from the appliance on.
 Make sure you place the pipes in the right direction, the narrow end towards the

appliance.

 Make sure the pipes are fixed sufficiently, a wall clamp every 2m, so the weight of

the pipes is not resting onto the appliance.

 The outside of the pipe can become hot (140 degrees). Stay 50 mm away from wall

surface or sealing. Make sure to provide sufficiently heat resistant isolation when
going through the wall or roof.

 Because of expansion or cooling down the concentric pipes can turn loose. It is

recommended to fix the spring clip with a self tapping screw at inaccessible places.

 To get the exact measure flue length you can use cut down concentric pipe, wall

mounted terminal or roof mounted terminal. To obtain a smoke sealed connection,
the inner pipe must be 20 mm longer then the outside pipe.
