INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

1.2 CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION

In Great Britain :-

It is the law that all gas appliances are installed only by a GAS SAFE Registered
Installer in G.B. in accordance with these installation instructions and the Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (current edition). Failure to install
appliances correctly could lead to prosecution. It is in your own interest and that
of safety to comply with the law. The installation must also be in accordance with
all relevant parts of the Local and National Building Regulations where
appropriate, the Building Regulations (Scotland Consolidation) issued by the
Scottish Development Department, and all applicable requirements of the following
British Standard Code of Practice.

1. B.S. 5871 Part 3 Installation of Decorative Fuel Effect Gas Fires

2. B.S. 6891 Installation of Gas Pipework

3. B.S. 5440 Parts 1 & 2 Installation of Flues and Ventilation

4. B.S. 1251 Open fire place components

5. B.S. 715 Metal flue pipes for gas appliances

6. B.S. 6461 Part 1 Installation of Chimneys and flues

7. I.S. 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas Installation (Republic of Ireland)

In Republic of Ireland :-

No purpose made additional ventilation is normally required for this
appliance, when installed in G.B. When Installing in I.E. please consult
document I.S. 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas Installation, which is issued by the
National Standards Authority of Ireland. If installing in Northern Ireland,
please consult local building regulations. Any purpose made ventilation
must be checked periodically to ensure that it is free from obstruction.

1.3 FLUE AND CHIMNEY SUITABILITY

This appliance is designed for use with conventional brick built or lined chimneys
and fabricated flues and metal flue boxes conforming to BS 715. All flues must
conform to the following minimum dimensions.

225mm x 225mm brick built chimneys (9 inch x 9 inch)
175mm (7 inch) diameter lined brick or stone flue, or insulated, pre fabricated
metal flue box to B.S. 715
125mm (5 inch) diameter lined brick or stone flue, or insulated, pre fabricated
metal flue box to B.S. 715
Before fitting to any flue of less than 175mm diameter or equivalent
cross-sectional area, the spigot restrictor baffle on the rear of the fire must be
removed

5

Safe clearance of products must always be checked by carrying out a smoke
match test as described. (see fig. 22 on page 26)

1.4 FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY

The fire must only be installed on a hearth it must not be installed directly onto
carpet or other combustible floor materials.The fire is suitable for fitting to non-

combustible fire place surrounds and proprietary fire place surrounds with a

temperature rating of at least 150oc.

If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall without the use of a fire
surround or fire place all combustible material must be removed from behind
the trim. Soft wall coverings such as blown vinyl, wall paper etc. could be
affected by the rising hot air and scorching and/or discoloration may result.
Due consideration should be made to this when installing or decorating.

1.5 SHELF POSITION

The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum
distance of 200mm above the top of the fire and the shelf does not project more
than 150mm. If the shelf overhangs more than 150mm the distance between the
fire and the shelf must be increased by 15mm for every 25mm of additional over­hang over 150mm. See shelf graph (fig. 2 below)

Fire must not be fitted if
the shelf height is less
than 200mm from the
top of the fire to the

1.6 FLUE / CHIMNEY INSPECTION

Before commencing installation, a flue or chimney should be inspected to ensure
that all the following conditions are satisfied.

1. Check that the chimney / flue only serves one fire place and is clear of any

obstruction. Any dampers or register plates must be removed or locked in
the open position.

2. Brick/stone built chimneys or any chimney or flue which has been used for

an appliance burning fuel other than gas must be thoroughly swept. The
base of the chimney / flue must also be thoroughly cleared of debris etc.

3. Any under-floor air supply to the fire place must be completely sealed off.

4. Ensure that the inside of the chimney / flue is in good condition along it’s

length and check that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure
of the chimney during and after the smoke pellet test. With pre-cast flues

it is especially important to check the inside of the flue for extruded
cement / sealant protruding from the joints between the flue
blocks. If present, these should be removed by rodding the flue
before proceeding with the installation.

5. Using a smoke pellet, check that there is an up-draught in the

chimney / flue and that the smoke can be seen issuing from the
terminal / chimney pot outside.
There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of
the chimney during or after the smoke pellet test and it is
important to check inside upstairs rooms adjacent to the chimney /
flue. Check the chimney pot / terminal and general condition of the

brickwork or masonry. If the chimney or flue is in poor condition or if
there is no up-draught do not proceed with the installation. If there is a
history of down-draught conditions with the chimney / flue, a tested and
certificated flue terminal or cowl suitable for the relevant flue type should
be considered.

6. A spillage test must always be carried out during commissioning of

the appliance.

1.7 FIRE PLACE OPENING AND CHIMNEY CATCHMENT SPACE

The front opening of the fire place must be between 400 and 450 mm wide, and
between 550 and 570mm high.

Any chairbrick that is in place must be removed before proceeding with the
installation of this appliance.

If the opening exceeds these dimensions then a surround must be constructed
from suitable non-combustible material to produce a correct size opening.

Any surround must be suitably sealed to the fire place to prevent leakage. See
below in fig. 3

When installing into a brick built chimney, you must ensure that there is sufficient
depth to accomodate any debris which may fall from the chimney. This depth
must be sufficient to accomodate 12 litres of volumetric space.
