Non-concealed gas connections may be made using the
entry points at either end of the firebox or the one in
the bottom of the firebox. A concealed gas connection
may be made using the knock out hole in the center
back of the firebox. Select the most appropriate entry
point and knock out the relevant hole in both the firebox
and the outer casing.
No more than 59" of 1/4" diameter pipe must be used
to avoid unnecessary pressure drops.
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 where
possible. Prior to chasing a solid wall, an inspection
should be made to note the proximity of any cables/
sockets outlets which may already be buried. Pipes
must be secured using suitable clips and protected
against corrosion. Ideally factory finished protected
pipe-work and fittings should be used. Joints should
be kept to a minimum and compression fittings must
not be used. The pipe-work installation must be tested
for soundness before any protection is applied and/or
the pipe-work and fittings are buried.
