FITTING THE CLOSURE PLATE
(Figures 5,6 & 7)
3.4.1.
If a centre gas pipe connection is required cut an
opening at the bottom of the closure plate. (The gap
between the pipe and the opening in the closure
plate should be sealed with tape after connection,)
3.4.2.
Hearth mounting (figure 6)
The closure plate must be fitted and sealed to the
hearth and fireplace opening using a suitable heat
resistant material. If necessary cut the closure plate.
Leave the closure plate sufficiently large to overlap
the fireplace opening by 25mm. Make sure that the
rectangular air relief openings are fully within the
fireplace opening.
3.4.3
Wall mounting (Figure 7)
The closure plate must be fitted and sealed to the
fireplace opening using a suitable heat resistant
material. If necessary cut the closure plate. Leave the
closure plate sufficiently large to overlap the fireplace
opening by 25mm. Make sure that the rectangular air
relief openings are fully within the fireplace opening.
The bottom of the side feet must be at least 102mm
above any carpet or other floor covering. To achieve
this, the bottom of the closure plate must also be at
least 102mm above the finished floor covering. The
centre of the flue spigot hole will be at least 486mm
above the finished floor covering.
1.
To improve appearance, remove the front
adjustment screws from below the side feet.
2.
Place the closure plate over the fireplace opening in
its proper position.
3.
Mark the positions of the four wall fixing holes. Use
only the lower of the top two pairs of holes.
4.
Remove the plate. Drill and plug the wall using no.
10 wall plugs.
5.
Put the closure plate back in position. Make sure that
the holes line up with the wall plugs. Seal the plate to
the wall with suitable heat resistant tape.
3.4.4.
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 3.2 should have confirmed that the fireplace
itself is satisfactory.
