  • Page 15 Continue as follows for all models :- Whilst the fire box is still in position, decide which side the gas supply is to enter the fire from. If concealed pipe work is required plan the pipe run to enter the fire box through one of the openings in the sides or rear of the fire box below the fuelbed support panel and connect to the isolating / inlet elbow.
  • Page 16 Carefully withdraw the fire box from the opening to enable the gas supply and fire fixing to be completed. There is a choice of methods of fixing the firebox which are provided to enable the installer to deal with any type of installation. The preferred method of fixing which is suitable for almost all situations is the cable fixing method which is described in the following section in detail.
  • Page 17 downwards through the pair of fixing eyes on the same side of the fire. Thread the free end of the cables through the corresponding circular hole on each side of the lower rear of the fire. Carefully slide the fire box back into the fire opening and pull both cables tight.

    The other firebox fixing method is as follows :- In installations where the cable method is not suitable (e.g. loose masonary in rear of fire opening) the firebox can be secured to the opening using four screws and wall plugs (not provided). Below (fig. 15) is a diagram to indicate the hole centre positions available on the firebox to facilitate the screw fixing to the fireplace / surround.
