POINTS TO CONSIDER PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION ORDER OF OPERATIONS
Prior to Construction and Installation Important Notes:
1. Consult a licenced certified gas fitter for correct gas installation.
2. Install to current standards.
3. Install to manufacture’s specifications.
4. All new installations require a permit.
5. Allow for gas supply to heat cell at the rear, and power supply to the rear if required.
6. For special requirements concerning materials (timber mantle and surrounds) within close proximity of Warmington products,
please contact your local Warmington Technical Consultant.
Stage 1: Frame Construction Procedure by Builder.
1. Mark out flue centre.
2. Mark out heat cell clearance requirements.
3. Build timber framing to heat cell clearances and chimney chase clearance requirements.
4. Ensure that front face of heat cell clearance alcove is left open and unframed to enable installation of the firebox. The chimney
chase is left unlined for installation of the flue.
5. Construct plinth only, to required height. *
Stage 2: Install Procedure by Certified “Warmington Installer” or Certified Person (Gas Fitter / Plumber)
1. Fit fire to plinth.(Ensure gas supply line is fed through firebox.)
2. Fit flue system.
3. Fit cowl and flashing system.
4. Fit vents to heat cell alcove and chimney chase, to cool the heat cell and ensure efficiency of CAITEC Technology.
Stage 3: Finishing Procedure by Builder.
1. Construct hearth to required thickness. *
2. Finish framing of heat cell alcove.
3. Close in heat cell alcove and chimney chase.
4. Finish heat cell alcove and hearth to customer’s requirements (e.g. paint / tiles).
5. * Note: Certified installer can install hearth and plinth.
Maintenance.
Visually inspect fireplace and flue system.
Ensure that firebox is operated according to manufacture’s instructions.
Location of the fire. Open fires are better located at one end of a room or area, as the y project the heat away from their opening.
Venting to the cavity.
This air is to allow the cavity to vent the warm air. This warm air helps keep the fire and flue system form getting to cold.
If the flue and fire get to cold the system may soot and require cleaning. Each fire has different ways of venting the cavity .
The Topography of the land .
The slope and position of the land in relation to the home has a bearing on how the wind will interact with the fire and flue system.
Care needs to be taken to ensure that the flue termination is in the correct position to maximise performance.
The Prevailing Wind.
Care needs to be taken to ensure that the flue termination is in the correct position as wind and gusts that hits the flue and cowl
system may overcome the cowl and draft back down the flue into the home. This can be a combination of down draft and high
pressure.
Hearth and plinth:
The height of the hearth off the floor. The finishing that is to be used on the hearth is to be allowed for at the design stage.
Positioning of the Flue system:
Flue Systems are to comply with the appropriate standard.
Flue And Fire Clearance:
To be maintained to the manufactures Instructions. Reference the appropriate standard.
Pressure Differential, Venting & External Air into the Building :
All fires need air to burn and draw correctly, Kitchen Fans, Air Conditioning units, High W ind Zones, Naturally forming Draft spaces, can all have an effect on the pressure
difference from inside the building to the outside. A lower pressure in the building may induce a draft down the flue system and back into the building causing the fire to
smoke or spill into the building. Care needs to be taken at the design and installation stage to adequately vent the building, or some mechanical system to ensure
that there is always a neutral or positive pressure at the fireplace and a negative pressure at the flue outlet. Th is will en sure th at t he dr aft in the flu e sy st em is
always to the outside.

Wind Noise:
You may encounter wind noise in some installations. It is recommended to use an enclosed chase with a chimney pot to help reduce noise. There will always be some
noise from the flue systems of all fireplaces.
