Installing the zero clearance frame (R2450) For mock chimney installations the zero clearance frame is a mandatory requirement to ensure a safe installation for the homeowner. The zero clearance frame is fitted prior to final cladding. It is a universal frame, designed for different opening sizes. For installation refer to the detailed instructions provided with the zero clearance frame kit.
Attaching the flexi flues to the spigot plate The flexi flues need to be securely fixed to the engine spigot plate using the clamps provided, and the clamps need to be screwed in place. To do this the spigot plate needs to be temporarily removed from the engine—undo the two front screws holding it in place.
