• There must be a flat area 10mm minimum width outside each side and above the top of the closure plate to enable the sealing tape to be
properly secure. Note that the closure plate can be cut if necessary.
• This fire can be fitted to a purpose made proprietary class "O" - 100 C or 150 C surround which has a standard opening of 16.5 Inches
(419mm) x 22 Inches (559mm). This ensures that the fireplace material is not immediately behind the gas stove.
• The flue spigot and any spigot extension must be capable of passing through the closure plate by a least 25mm with a minimum
clearance of 50mm between its open end and the nearest obstruction. The catchment space below the flue spigot must extend at least
250mm downwards measured from the bottom of the flue spigot.
• If the fire is to be fitted against walls with combustible cladding, the cladding must be removed from the area behind the decorative
closure plate.
• Please note that soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyls etc.) are easily affected by heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become
discoloured when close to a heating appliance. Please bear this in mind when installing.

POSITIONING THE STOVE with direct flue connection to the flue elbow kit
Alternatively the stove can be used with a direct flue connection using a cast elbow available from Valor (Part Number 0591189). This
gives connection to a 102mm flue. A 127mm (5 Inch) flue adapter is available from Valor (Part Number 0591199). This connects directly
into the top of the cast elbow. When using the direct flue connection the distance from the rear of the down draught diverter to the rear of
the cast elbow is 140mm.

POSITIONING THE STOVE with flue spigot and closure plate installation.
1.
If a hearth is to be used ensure that it is in position before commencing the installation. Fix the
closure plate to the builders opening ensuring that it is central.
2.
Connect the flue spigot to the rear opening in the down draught diverter using the two nuts and
bolts that are located in the fixing holes. (See figure 2)
3.
Connect the decorative closure plate to the rear of the stove using the screws positioned at the
outside of the draught diverter rear. (See figure 3)
4.
Place the stove in position on the hearth ensuring that the minimum dimensions specified in
figure 1 are adhered to. Position the stove so that the spigot passes through the hole in the closure
plate and the decorative plate is flat against the rear surface of the fireplace. Each of the stove feet has
height adjustment screws to accommodate uneven surfaces. Ensure that the stove is level.
5.
Due to its weight there is normally no requirement for additional fixing with this appliance.
However, where the stove may be subjected to some vibration (e.g. transit in a narrow boat),
the legs should be secured with wooden blocks or by some means that prevents lateral
movement.
1.
Connect the cast iron elbow using the two screws located to the side of the flue outlet (see
Figure 4)
3.
Place the stove in position on the hearth ensuring that the minimum dimensions specified in
figure 1 are adhered to. Connect the flue pipe to the outlet and seal in place. The optional flue
adapter is shown in figure 4.

Under no circumstances should any flue system be connected to the
top of the stove

CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY

A nut and olive are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the elbow at the bottom
front of the appliance. The elbow can be rotated to allow a connection from any direction. The
elbow includes a valve for isolating the gas supply. If a concealed rear connection is required then
a hole just big enough to allow the pipe to pass through can be cut into the bottom of the closure
plate.
