Fitting The Closure Plate - Valor BLACK BEAUTY 348 Installer And Owner Manual

6.6 Fitting the closure plate.

The spigot opening in the closure plate has two 'flange' sections. Flange 1 is to
be left as supplied. Fold Flange 2 along the perforated line. The closure plate
has an opening at the bottom for a central gas feed pipe. The gap between
the pipe and this opening should be sealed with tape after connection. If a
central feed pipe is not required the opening should be completely sealed
with tape.
The
closure plate dimensions will now be as shown in figure 9.
The closure plate must be fitted and sealed to the fireplace opening and hearth
(where applicable) using a suitable heat resistant material. If necessary cut the
closure plate but make sure that it overlaps the fireplace opening sufficiently to
allow satisfactory sealing. Make sure that the square air relief opening is fully
within the fireplace opening.
Check the flue pull with closure plate fitted by applying a lighted match or smoke
match to the flue spigot opening in the closure plate and observe the smoke. If
there is a definite flow continue with the installation. If not check the fitting of the
closure plate. The fireplace flue pull check described in section 6.5 should have
confirmed that the fireplace itself is satisfactory.
