Unit installation

8.2 Fitting to wall.
! Fit the flue tubes firmly over the
spigots at the rear of the fire. Make sure
that the seam on the flue tube is not at
the bottom. Push on until the outer (air)
tube just covers the slots in the appliance
outer spigot (See figure 14).
! Secure the flue to the fire by drilling
through the outer flue tube and outer
spigot at a distance of between 6mm &
7mm from the cut end of the outer flue
tube and securing with the two no.6 self
tapping screws supplied (See figure 14).
! Seal the flue unit all round the
circumference of the outer spigot with the tape supplied.
! Timber frame buildings:
Offer the fire complete with flue unit through the insulating
sheet (mentioned in section 7.3). Fit a drip collar round the flue positioned so that it will
be located in the centre of the wall cavity (See figure 13b). The drip collar can be made
by wrapping a non-corrosive wire round the flue or moulding a bead of mastic round
the flue. A timber frame flue clearance kit is available. Part no. 0583141.
! Case fixing to wall:
Offer the fire complete with flue unit through the wall, Insert
the four fixing screws and tighten.
! Cable retention:
Fit the eyebolts onto the cables. Thread the cables through the
appliance case sides as shown in figure 12. Offer the fire complete with flue unit
through the wall. Pull the cables taut.
! Timber frame building with combustible outer leaf (e.g. shiplap boarding)
: A metal
or other non-combustible end plate must be fitted on the outside of the wall. The plate
must be concentric with the flue and at least 254mm (10in) square or diameter (See
figure 13b).
! Seal the outer flue tube to the outside surface of the wall with fireclay or cement.
Make sure that the slots in the flue terminal are not closer than 8mm to the wall and are
not obstructed by cement.
