3.3.2 FIXING DIRECTLY TO SURROUND FACE
Mark the four positions of the fixing holes on the front face of the fireplace surround using the fire as a template. Drill 6mm holes
and plug the holes with the wall plugs supplied. Insert the fire into the opening in the fireplace until the seal on the back of the fire is
compressed against the surround face at every point. Note that any visible gaps between the surround face and the seal indicate a
deviation from flatness on the surround face and MUST be rectified. Screw the fire to the wall.
3.4 GAS CONNECTION
NOTE: The appliance must be connected to gas with rigid or semi-rigid tubing. A means of isolating the gas supply must be fitted
upstream of the appliance inlet to facilitate connection and subsequent servicing. The supply pipe to the fire should be installed so
that it is easy to remove the fire from the opening during servicing. Ensure that a service cock (which may be in the form of a union
restrictor elbow) is provided for isolation of the fire for servicing at a later date.
If a concealed connection from within 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 sealed opening situated at the back of the firebox to the
appliance inlet elbow.
3.4.1. CONCEALED CONNECTION
The dimensions below indicate the required position of the supply pipe to enable it to pass through the aperture in the fire back.
Refer to Fig. 6.
(a) Remove the burner tray from the fire to improve access (see Section 6.1).
(b) Make connection from concealed point to finish in the position indicated in Fig. 6.
Ensure there is a union connection at this point. The inlet elbow provided with the fire should be fitted to the supply.
(c) The pipe run from the supply line up to the rear opening in the firebox must be kept clear of the area which will be taken by
the box when it is installed.
3.4.2 FRONT CONNECTION
After fixing the fire to the surround (Section 3.3) it is possible to connect the gas supply from either the right or left hand side. The
union elbow on the fire which has an R 1/4 internal thread should be connected to the supply pipe.

3.5 TEST FOR GAS SOUNDNESS
