GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Fitting the Appliance

1 The law demands that all gas appliances are installed by a qualified installer in

accordance with the current GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS.
The installation must comply with these installation instructions and all relevant parts
of Local and National Building Regulations or Building Standards (Scotland)
(Consolidation) Regulations and those relevant recommendations of the following
British Standards.

BS 5871: Parts 2 & 3, BS 8303, BS 5440: Parts 1 & 2, BS 1251, BS 6891

2 The 500 & 700 Fireboxes can be fitted into fireplaces which are large enough or can be

altered to accept these boxes. Their dimensions are shown in Figure 1. If the fireplace
has to be altered a lintel may be required to support the masonry over the opening.

3 Decorative Infill Panels

These appliances can be installed either with a decorative infill panel or directly against

a wall finished with a non combustible material. If an infill panel is to be used the
firebox flange can either be on the outside of the panel and finished with a decorative
trim or the flange can be set on the inside of the infill panel where a trim will not be
required. The size of the hole in the infill panel will vary depending on whether the
flange is inside or outside. The hole sizes required are shown in Figure 2. A trim will be
required if the appliance is to be installed directly against a wall. The depth of the
fireplace opening must be checked against the firebox dimensions given in Figure 1 to
make sure there is space available.

4 The Hearth (Appliances in floor level fireplaces)

Where the appliance is fitted in a floor level builders opening, floor level fireplace recess
or floor level flue box, the hearth shall:

a) Extend through the whole base of the builders opening, fireplace recess or

beneath the flue box.

b) Project at least 300mm in front of any naked flame or incandescent part of

the fire bed.

c) Project at least 150mm beyond each side of any naked flame or incandescent

part of the fire bed, or if there is a non-combustible wall within 150mm of any
naked flame or incandescent part of the fire bed, up to that wall.

d) Have a thickness of not less than 12mm and a minimum height of 50mm

along its front and side edges.

Hole-in-the-wall installations

Where the appliance is installed in a hole-in-the-wall fireplace, a hearth as previously
detailed for floor level fireplaces shall be fitted on the floor beneath the hole so as to
protect combustible material from radiant heat.

a) If a hearth is not to be used, so as to maintain a minimal and contemporary

styling, the appliance must be installed so that every part of any naked flame
or incandescent part of the fire bed is at least 225mm vertically above any
carpet or floor covering.

b) Where no hearth is to be fitted consideration should be given to fixing a

tactile separator to protect young children, the elderly and the infirm. A
tactile separator can be in the form of a fender, kerb, hearth, shelf or
horizontal bar all made from non combustible material and fixed not less
than 50mm & not more than 1000mm above the floor level. They should be
positioned not less than 300mm in front of and 150mm beyond the edge of
any naked flame or incandescent part of the fire bed.

5 The Chimney Flue

Both Appliances The chimney should be of the open-flue type and have a minimum

cross sectional dimension of not less than 175mm.

The flue must have a minimum effective height of 3 metres.

No restrictor plate or flue damper is permitted. Where a variable damper is fitted, this

must be removed.

The chimney must be swept before the appliance is fitted.

500 Model This model may also be connected to 125mm diameter flue liner or twin wall

gas flue using the optional gather and the 125mm adaptor.

6 Optional Gather

An optional gather is available for both appliances to connect to a flue liner or a twin
wall metal chimney. The dimensions of the gathers are given in Figure 3. Check the
thickness of any masonry plus the decorative infill panel, if used, against the distance
shown between the rear of the flange and the front of the gather. The gather should be
installed before the firebox is finally placed in position and temporarily lodged in
position. After the firebox is properly positioned the gather can be drawn down to the
firebox by gripping the handles provided inside the gather and secured with five self
tapping screws which pass through the top of the firebox into the gather. Please note
that the gather and firebox are not structural items and the flue connected should be
supported and not rest entirely on the gather.

7 Ventilation.

500 Model

Subject to a satisfactory spillage test, there is no requirement for purpose made

ventilation with these models.

700 Model

The room containing the appliance must have a permanent air vent with an effective

open area of at least 100 cm2. The vent must be either direct to outside air or to an
adjacent room having a permanent vent of the same area.

Fitting the Firebox

NOTE

As LPG (Propane Gas) is heavier than air any large voids below an LPG appliance must be back filled
with a suitable material or low level venting must be installed. If low level venting is installed this must
not be connected to the main flueway as this will cause dilution and may well result in lack of flue pull
through the appliance.

1 Check that the fireplace is of the correct size or has been modified to accept the

selected firebox. (See Figure 1).

2 It is recommended that, before proceeding further, a simple smoke test be performed to

check the condition of the chimney. Light a smoke match or a twist of rolled paper,
hold it within the fireplace opening and observe the behaviour of the smoke. If it is
being drawn into the chimney proceed with the installation. If not, pre-heat the
