Convection Box Installation; Method 1 - Front Fixing To Fireplace Surround - Valor 762 Installer And Owner Manual

IMPORTANT
Before continuing with the installation of this gas fire the aeration setting on the burner must be checked. The
aeration is factory set and should not require adjustment. See section 19.1 (Servicing and parts replacement).
2. It is important that the grommet supplied in the loose parts pack is fitted to the hole in the rear
of the convection box.
3. Pierce the grommet to allow the pipe to pass through it. The grommet
should envelop the pipe. If the hole is larger than the pipe, seal it with
tape. Do not pierce the grommet unless the supply pipe is to pass
through it.
4. The appliance is supplied with two fireback spacers that must
be fitted in all installations. These should extend backwards to
ensure sufficient clearance from the back of the fireplace. Position the
fireback spacer as shown in figure 13. Secure the fireback spacers
using four No.8 x 3/8" tapping screws supplied with the fire.
5. The Blakely appliance is supplied with a flue restrictor for use
where the flue draught is excessive. There may however, be certain
circumstances where fitting the restrictor causes the fire to fail the
spillage test. In such cases the restrictor will have to be removed. After
removal conduct the spillage check again.
The restrictor is packed loose with the appliance and is fixed with three No.8 x
3/8" tapping screws (See figure 13B).
6. There is a length of self adhesive foam seal supplied with the fire. This
will need to be fitted to the outer rear edges of the side and top flanges of
the convector box. Ensure that there is no gap between the foam seals
where they meet (See figure 14). It is important that the bottom of the
side flanges are sealed. Where the wall surface is uneven an additional
length of foam seal is supplied and can be placed on top of the first layer.
When doing this ensure that the sides and top are covered in the same way as the first layer.

12. CONVECTION BOX INSTALLATION

12.1 Method 1 - Front fixing to fireplace
surround.
1. Make sure that the fireplace front
surround area is sound enough to take the
fibre / wooden plugs and wood screws. If
necessary, make sound with suitable
cement.
2. Place the convection box centrally in the
fireplace in the position in which it is to be
permanently installed. Insert the convection
box into the fireplace feeding the supply
pipe through the pierced hole in the rear
grommet.
