When all the preparation work has been completed for whichever method of installation has been chosen, and with the fire sur-
round fitted, take the appliance and slide the round flue section over the spigot on the rear of the fire. Protect any decorative
hearth with a dust sheet or similar, place the appliance in position with the flue section protruding through the wall(s) to the out-
side. Make sure the firebox is fully pushed home before marking two fixing holes in the base of the firebox. Outside the proper-
ty, mark a line on the flue tube level with the outer surface of the wall, where it protrudes through.
Remove the firebox from the location and slide off the flue section. If the fan terminal is to be mounted directly on the the out-
side wall, cut the flue tube to length along the marked line. If the terminal is to be recessed into the outer wall, a second
line should be marked 90mm back towards the appliance. The flue tube should then carefully be cut to length along the
relevant line. Do not remove the ceramic insulation. File off any rough edges and slide back on to the appliance spigot ensuring
the ‘O’ ring remains seated in its channel. Slide the Rockwool jacket into place over the flue section, this may be secured with alu-
minium tape.
With a suitable drill bit, make the two previously marked holes in the base of the firebox, drilling down through into the non-
combustible hearth. Fit two wall plugs into the holes.
The mains electrical supply cable exits from the rear of the appliance and the FIXED FUSED SPUR (fused at 3 Amp) should be
arranged to allow easy connection.
Stand the appliance in front of the opening and feed the fan wiring harness through the hole drilled in the wall. You may find this
easier if a short length of plastic conduit is first fitted to the hole. The cable must run outside of the insulating jacket, and be
arranged so that is does not touch any hot surfaces. Feed the mains cable through to the location of the fixed fused spur.
Depending on the location of the 8mm gas supply, feed through the back of the firebox and fit the grommet seal (if applicable).
Now carefully slide the appliance back into position and secure into place using the two previously drilled holes. Ensure the flue
unit has passed correctly through the wall.
Note: If using an over hearth gas supply, the route of the pipe should be located through the purpose provided
cutouts (if applicable) on the decorative firefront supplied with the appliance.
Place the burner tray near to the firebox and connect the three-way plug from the control box to the safety solenoid mounted
on the burner.
The external fan terminal can now be fitted. This comprises three parts, the wall fan box section, the cover and the trim frame
(only used for recessed mounting). At this point, the trim must be fitted to the fan box unit if the terminal is to be recessed into
the wall. Remove the four self tapping screws from the sides of the fan box, and slide
the trim frame over the box with the fixing flanges facing into the wall. Secure with
the four screws and proceed to fit the terminal as described below.
Offer up the fan unit and feed the connecting cable through the entry hole in the
wall plate. It may be advantageous to remove the rubber grommet in the entry hole
to aid insertion of the wires and refit afterwards. Run the connector through the
entry hole, then feed them through the grommet, before finally refitting the grom-
met to the entry hole.
Note: The grommet UST be refitted in order to prevent damage to
the fan wiring harness.
Installing the fan terminal by surface mounting on the outside wall
Slide the fan unit on to the previously installed flue pipe. Mark the four fixing screw
positions on the wall, and drill the 5mm securing holes into the brickwork. Affix the
fan terminal to the wall with the wall plugs and screws provided. A bead of silicone
weather sealant, or similar suitable sealant should be applied along the top edge, and
down the two sides of the terminal where it meets the wall, to prevent the ingress
of water as shown in figure 13. Any excess sealant should be wiped away.
Fitting the fan terminal by recessing into the outer wall
If already fitted, remove the four long M4 screws from the top and bottom of the
fan terminal. Fit the terminal into the wall opening previously prepared, ensuring the
flue tube seats correctly over the terminal spigot. When correctly fitted, insert the
four screws into the threaded inserts fitted to the inside of the top and bottom of
the terminal. Using a suitable screwdriver, continue to wind in the four screws from
the inside of the box until the fan terminal is held securely in the opening. as shown
in figure 14. Alternatively, four holes may be marked in the sides of the fan terminal,
and these drilled through into the brick work. The terminal can then be secured with
wall plugs and screws. Apply a bead of silicone weather sealant, or similar suitable
sealant around the top and side edges of the frame to provide a good seal to the
wall, eliminating water ingress.
