INSTALLATION REQUIRE ENTS
1.1 CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed only by a GAS SAFE Registered
Installer, in accordance with these installation instructions and the Gas Safety
(Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 as amended. Failure to install appliances
correctly could lead to prosecution. It is in your own interest and that of safety to
comply with the law.
The installation must also be in accordance with all relevant parts of the ocal and
National Building Regulations where appropriate, the Building Regulations
(Scotland Consolidation) issued by the Scottish Development Department, and all
applicable requirements of the following British Standard Code of Practice.
1. B.S. 5871 Part 1 Installation of Gas Fires
2. B.S. 6891 Installation of Gas Pipework
3. B.S. 5440 Parts 1 & 2 Installation of Flues and Ventilation
4. I.S 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas Installation, issued by the National Standards
Authority of Ireland.
1.2 FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY
The fire must only be installed on a hearth it must not be installed directly onto
carpet or other combustible floor materials.
The fire is suitable for fitting to non-combustible fire place surrounds and
proprietary fire place surrounds with a temperature rating of at least 150oc.
If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall combustible material must be
removed from behind it. Soft wall coverings such as blown vinyl, wall paper etc.
could be affected by the rising hot air and scorching and/or discoloration may
result. Due consideration should be made to this when installing or decorating.
It is recommended that the product is only installed with surround designs
available from BF Europe Ltd, but should you choose to fit an alternative
surround, please give consideration to accessibility for servicing
requirements

NOTE : Dimensions as stated above

2.3 PREPARATION OF THE CO BUSTION CHA BER OPENING
(INTO EXISTING CHI NEY BREAST)
An opening should be constructed to the following dimensions in the existing
chimney breast.
Fig. 5
The opening needs to be sufficient to accomodate the combustion chamber. To
support the wall above the opening, a suitable lintel must be inserted across the
top of the opening. The lintel could be either pre-cast concrete or steel - Catnic
CN52 or CN 46 could be used, depending upon the inner wall thickness. Before
proceeding with the installation of the fire, an assessment of the area immediately
above the fire is required, see Fig. 9 overpage. If there is no existing openings
within either triangle, proceed with forming the opening. However, if opening or
beams occur within either triangle, then you should seek specialist advice from a
structural engineer or consider relocating the proposed position of the firebox.
NOTE : Please ensure that suitable cut outs in the sides and front face of the
chimney breast are implemented for fixing of the flue pipe, and for future
servicing.
The appliance must be sited on a non combustible base. The appliance can be
placed onto a combustible material providing a heatproof board such as superlux
of minimum 15mm thickness or similar is placed under it.
I PORTANT : Any air supply to the fireplace opening must be sealed off

2.4 INSTALLATION OF THE GAS SUPPLY (INTO STUDDED WALL OR
EXISTING CHI NEY BREAST)
Before installing the combustion chamber, decide from which side or if a rear
connection to the gas supply is required. Plan the pipe run to enter the below the
firebox from the left, right or rear and connect to the inlet elbow. See Fig. 8, 9 &
10 below.
Note : Before breaking into the gas supply a gas tightness test should be
carried out to establish that the existing pipework is
sound.

2.5 SPECIFYING THE FLUE SYSTE & ASSOCIATED CO PONENTS
This product comes with the optional of 3 methods of flueing :-
Decide upon the method of flue that is most suitable for the property in which you
are installing the product, from the following options :-
2.5.1 Balanced Flue in Horizontal Configuration
This flueing method uses a 0.5 metre vertical pipe starter pipe section, then
utilises a 90 degree elbow and a terminal section to provide a horizontal pipe from
324mm (minimum) up to 469mm (maximum). Additional flue duct can then be
purchased to allow installation up to a maximum wall thickness of 1554mm. The
flue can be installed to terminate directly out the wall behind the appliance or at
the /H side or R/H side by rotating the elbow section. If the terminal is fitted
below 2m from ground level, a terminal guard must be fitted in England & Wales.
BFM Europe supply a suitable guard in the Horizontal Flue Kit. See section 2.6
2.5.2 Balanced Flue in Vertical Configuration
This flueing method utilses a rigid interlocking balanced flue duct to enable a
vertical balanced flue system to be used. All components required are supplied
within the flue kit with the exception of the lengths of co-axial pipe which is
dependent upon the individual installation. This method is most suited when a
false chimney breast is being constructed due to no chimney / insufficient depth
and an outside wall is not available. See section 2.7
2.5.3 Balanced Flue Utilising Existing Chimney
This flueing method uses a 4” / 100mm flexible flue liner fitted into an existing
chimney breast, with a specially designed flue termination fitted to the top of the
chimney. All components required are supplied within the flue kit with the
exception of the 4” / 100mm flexible flue liner, which is dependent upon the
individual installation. Please ensure any flexible flue liner used is rated to T400.
This method is most suited when an existing chimney breast is available that is in
good condition and has sufficient depth to accept the product. See section 2.8
If you require to purchase any additional flue components, please contact the UK
distributor for Metaloterm products, contact details as below :-

2.6.2 Mark the position of the centre of the flue on the inner wall. (See Fig.
11 on previous page for position).
2.6.3 Cut hole for outer flue pipe. There are two possible methods to achieve
this, either core drill or via hammer and chisel.
2.6.4 To core drill, proceed as follows :-
2.6.5 Drill a pilot hole through the wall, in position as specified in Fig 11 on
previous page.
2.6.6 Using a 6” core drill, drill the flue hole.
2.6.7 To Hammer and chisel, proceed as follows :-
2.6.8 Mark the position of the centre of the flue pipe as specified in Fig 11.
2.6.9 Mark the position of the hole around this point.
2.6.10 Chisel out the area as marked on the wall.
2.6.11 We then recommend that a cardboard cylinder is placed around the flue
pipe and inserted in the chiselled out hole whilst making good. A wall
plate is provided on the flue duct to seal the terminal around the
flue pipe opening and make good.
Please ensure all joints are taped with suitable high temperature tape when
assembling the flue pipe sections together.
NOTE :- If the appliance is to be installed into a building under
construction, it is recommended that a non-corrosive metal tube of 6”
diameter be inserted into the position of the hole as specified on page 13.

plate and locking band until it protrudes by 400mm min, 1000mm max
through the roof. Fix the flat roof flashing (USDP10) over the flue and
fix it to the flat roof. See Fig. 13 below. Please ensure all joints are
taped with suitable high temperature tape when assembling the flue
pipe sections together.
2.8.6 Seal the opening between the flue and flashing with silicone rubber and
a storm collar (USSR10). See Fig. 13 below
2.8.7 Install the terminal (contained within the terminal kit requested at point

flue US100-10/50-10/25-10 through the mounting plate and locking
band until it protrudes by 400mm min, 1000mm max through the
roof. Centre the flue and secure with the roof support (USDQ10) and
screws. (See Fig. 14 below) Please ensure all joints are taped with
suitable high temperature tape when assembling the flue pipe sections
together.
2.9.4 Put the slope roof flashing USDH10 (or in the case of a tiled roof the
lead flashing US S10) over the flue and make a weather proof finish.
Seal the opening flue and flashing with the silicone rubber and the
storm collar (USSR10).
2.9.5 Install the terminal (contained within the terminal kit requested at point

2.10.10 Refer to section 3.3 to fit the correct restrictor plate to the fire. Fitting of
the correct restrictor plate is mandatory otherwise performance issues
with the product will be found.
NOTE : The concentric flue must extend a minimum of 100mm into the existing
chimney (past the internal mounting plate and please ensure all joints
are taped with suitable high temperature tape when assembling the flue
