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 dimension 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 ensuring any burrs are removed.

The appliance is supplied with a fixing jig that includes service valves (fig. 14). The service valves are of the compression type. The accessories pack contains sealing washers etc, for use with the service valves. When connecting pipe work to the valves, tighten the compression end first then insert the sealing washers before tightening the valve to the appliance.
4.6.5 SAFETY VALVE (fig. 16) 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 eliminating the possibility of freezing.
