TIMBER FRAMED DWELLINGS
When installing the flue in properties of timber
framed construction, the regulations (BS 5440:Part
1:1990) must be adhered to.
POST INSTALLATION CHECKS
Before leaving the appliance connected to the gas
supply, the installer is required to visually examine
the appliance and flue to ensure that:
(a)
The seal between the combustion chamber
and the room is intact and in good condition.
(b)
The flue has been correctly sealed using the
sealing tape as recommended.
(c)
There are no debris contained within the flue
assembly.
(d)
The joint between the terminal and the wall is
weather proof.
GAS PIPES & FITTINGS
Materials used for installation work should be fire
resistant and gas tight and should conform to the fol-
lowing or their equivalent.

TERMINAL POSITION
Directly below an opening window or other opening
e.g. air brick
Below gutters, soil pipes or drain pipes
Below eaves
Below balconies or car port roofs
From vertical drain pipes and soil pipes
From internal or external corners
Above ground, roof or balcony level
From a surface facing a terminal
From a terminal discharging towards another terminal
From an opening in a car port (e.g. door, window)
into a dwelling
Vertically from a terminal on the same wall
Horizontally from a terminal on the same wall
METERS
A suitable gas meter must be connected to the ser-
vice pipe either by a representative of the gas board
or by an appointed contractor. If using an existing
meter have it checked to ensure that the meter is
capable of dealing with the total rate of gas needed.
GAS PIPE SIZE
It is important that the correct service pipe size be
used for adequate gas supply. This depends on the
distance between the supply meter and the appli-
ance relative to the input requirements. The gas
supply to the appliance should be terminated near
the appliance with an approved safety type service
tap.
CONNECTION TO GAS SUPPLY
The gas control is located at the bottom right hand
side of the unit. Check that the mains gas supply
pipe is adequately sized and capable of supplying
enough gas to the appliance when operating on
max. rate.
WA R N I N G : Before connecting the stove
make sure the gas supply pipe is clear of grit
and debris as this will cause blockage within
the stove control, pilot burner, injectors and
pipework. Failure to do so may void product
warranty.
