The Flue Restrictor - Valor Fires 963 Installer And Owner Manual

INSTALLER GUIDE

9.3 The flue restrictor.

This appliance is fitted with a flue restrictor for use where the flue draught is
excessive. The flue restrictor can be adjusted from the front of the fire so there is no
need to remove the fire from the fireplace for adjustment to be made. Generally we
recommend the restrictor is set to its fully open position where a precast flue, metal
flue box or a flue liner is used, however, certain flues may work sufficiently to warrant
its use. There may however, be circumstances where the restrictor causes the fire to
fail the spillage test. In such cases the restrictor will have to be set to its fully open
position and a spillage check conducted again.
The restrictor is supplied in the fully open position and can be adjusted. To adjust the
restrictor, locate the central screw at the rear of the convected air outlet (See figure
17). Loosen the screw and with the screw driver still in the head of the screw, slide
the restrictor to the desired position. Secure the restrictor by tightening the screw.
