GAS SUPPLY ROUTES
There are four possible entry points for the gas
supply pipework to enter the appliance firebox as
shown in figure 2.
These entry points are ‘knock out’ type holes.
Non-concealed gas connections may be made
using the entry points in the bottom or sides of
the firebox. A concealed gas connection may be
made using the knock out hole in the centre back
of the firebox.
Select the most appropriate entry point and knock
out the relevant hole with a sharp tap from a ham-
mer and fit the rubber grommet supplied. A small incision can now be made in the rubber to slip snugly
around the outside of the supply pipe and sleeving.
All installation pipework must be in accordance with the current edition of National regulations/codes and
the rules in force.
In order to avoid unnecessary pressure drops, use of small diameter pipe should be kept to a minimum, for
example, we recommend no more than 1.5 metres of 8mm pipe. If a concealed gas connection is to be
made, the supply pipe should always be sleeved through walls and floors using the shortest possible route.
For concealed supply pipe routing, pipes must (where possible) be vertical and providing there is sufficient
wall thickness available, they should be placed in pipe chases. Horizontal pipe runs should be avoided.
Prior to chasing a solid wall, an inspection should be made to note the proximity of any cables/sockets out-
lets which may already be buried. Pipes must be secured using suitable clips and protected against corro-
sion. Ideally factory finished protected pipework and fittings should be used. Joints should be kept to a min-
imum and compression fittings must not be used.
The pipework installation must be tested for tightness before any protection is applied and/or the pipework
and fittings are buried.
