Cable Retention - Valor 956 Installer And Owner Manual

10.2 Cable retention.

1. Make sure that the relevant areas at the fireplace back are sound enough to take
the screw eyes. If these areas have deteriorated due to prolonged use they should be
made sound with a suitable cement.
2. Drill four holes in the rear
wall of the fireplace for the
wall plugs. The holes should
be drilled within the range of
positions shown in figure 14
using a suitably sized
masonry drill bit for the wall
plugs supplied. The holes
should be equidistant each
side of the centre line of the
fireplace to ensure that the
appliance finishes centrally in
the opening when tension is
applied to the cables.
3. Insert a wall plug 'I' into
each hole. Use the wall plugs supplied with this appliance
- Never use plastic plugs instead of the wall plugs
supplied. Screw the screw eyes 'J' into the plugs. Make
sure that the screw eyes are secure.
4. Place the hotbox unit close to the fireplace but allow
sufficient access into the fireplace opening so that the
cables can be threaded through the screw eyes and
returned through the back of the hotbox. If a concealed
connection is being used, insert the hotbox into the
fireplace feeding the supply pipe through the pierced hole
in the rear grommet.
5. The rear of the hotbox has a slot and hole each side
of the outlet opening. Assemble one end of the cable to
the top of the fire by passing it through the small round
hole and locking by positioning the cable in the adjacent
slot (See figure 15). Give the cables a pull so that they
grip.
6. Thread the cables through the screw eyes. Return the
cables through the holes near the bottom of the hotbox
side panels (See figure 16).
7. Place the hotbox fully back into the fireplace opening
so that it is sealed against the fireplace front surround.
8. Fit a cable adjuster 'F' over the bottom end of each
cable.
