  • Page 13 IMPORTANT : Sealing of the Gas Unused Gas Pipe Inlet Apertures In line with current CORGI regulations, it is imperative that the gas supply inlet apertures that are not utilised during the installation are sealed with the foil tape as supplied. Failure to seal these inlet apertures could lead to flame reversal, which in turn will damage the burner and control systems of the product.
  • Page 14 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.
