FITTING THE HORIZONTAL FLUE KIT Carefully measure the distance from the centre of the appliance flue outlet to the edge of the finished outside wall (dimension X). Add 65mm to dimen- sion X to give you Dimension Y (see fig 9A). Measure dimension Y from the terminal end of the concentric flue pipe and cut off the excess ensur- ing any burrs are removed.
CONNECTING THE GAS AND WATER KIT “X” The appliance is supplied with an accessory pack 28/32/36 HE = 218 mm that includes service valves. The service valves are of the compression type. The accessories “X” pack contains sealing washers etc., for use with 12/15/20HE = 202mm the service valves.
4.6.5 SAFETY VALVE (fig. 12) Connect the safety valve connection pipe to the safety valve outlet. Connect a discharge pipe to the other end of the safety valve connection pipe and tighten. The discharge pipe must have a continuous fall away from the appliance to outside and allow any water to drain away thereby eliminat- ing the possibility of freezing.
