8. GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

A nut and olive are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the inlet 'T'
connector at the bottom front of the appliance. The inlet 'T' connector can be rotated
to allow a connection from any direction. The inlet 'T' connector includes a valve for
isolating the gas supply and a pressure test point.
The supply pipe must be rigid material. Flexible pipe must not be used.
Concealed supply pipe connection.
If a concealed connection from inside the fireplace is required then, before the
appliance is fitted into the fireplace it will be necessary to extend the supply line so
that it will project through the hole in the back of the convection box and run to the
inlet 'T' connector at the front. The pipe run from the supply line up to the rear
opening in the convection box must be kept away from the area which will be taken
by the convection box when it is installed. Note that the centre of the appliance inlet
'T' connector is 25mm above the fireplace floor. The inlet 'T' connector should be
fitted to the supply pipe at this stage.

9. PREPARING APPLIANCE FOR INSTALLATION

9.1 Appliance preparation.

1. Remove any transit tape and
packing and inspect for any evidence
of mishandling which might affect the
performance of the fire.
2. Detach and remove the window
assembly. To do this unscrew and
remove the two thumbscrews at the
base of the window assembly. Gently
lift the window assembly upward and
forward (See figure 13). Place the
window assembly and thumbscrews
in a safe place away from the work
area.
