A Product Description and Dimensions
A1 Product Description
The Mode KS1150 Peninsula 400 gas fire is a room sealed gas appliance designed to be built into
a false self-supporting cavity. It is a powerful gas heater that, on the lowest setting (flame eect)
will still generate approximately 50% heat. The appliance is flued using co-linear flexible aluminium
flue and PolyPro plastic piping beyond 4m. The user will control their fire with the Radio Frequency
(RF) remote that will normally be located in its wall mount cradle. In addition to the RF remote the
appliance has a single auxiliary On/O button on the unit. When not in operation it is in a standby
mode unless it is physically isolated from the mains supply.

C4 Installing the Internal Vertical Powerflue (UVP)
Note: For information regarding an external install of the UVP, go to section C5
“Installing the External Vertical Powerflue (UVP)” on page 17.
The Universal Vertical Powerflue (UVP) internal configuration is designed to
have the fan, mounted within the roof space of the house, and the vertical
Ø225mm diameter liner, containing a Ø100mm flexi, penetrate through
the roof. The UVP internal conversion kit comes with a 1200mm liner that is
specific to the internal installation and must always be used.
Note: The flue setup must comply with either section C1 “Flue Configuration (If less
than 4m flue length is required)” on page 9 or C2 “Flue Configuration (If more
than 4m flue length is required)” on page 11.
Use standard methods to flash the roof penetration. The installation must be
weatherproof and conform to all local council standards including powered flue
termination rules.
Mount the fan mount bracket (1) to the roof framing and strapping using
timber ensuring that the flue is rigid and vertical. Ensure that the mounting
timber does not obstruct access to the 3xM5 screw threads on the side of the
fan unit.
Aim to have the fan enclosure (2) mounted as high as possible, mainly to allow
sucient fall for condensation drainage if the flexi-flue is to run horizontally.
Ensure there is sucient space below fan enclosure (2) to have access to fit the
flexi-flue tubes (3) and allow flowing bends if required.
Note: The UVP-Internal and the flexi flue connections must be installed in a
location accessible for service or replacement; a service hatch or removable flashing to allow access may be
required.
Note: When installing the unit onto a flue liner, ensure the length of flue liner above the roof is the minimum
required length. ENSURE the Ø25mm restriction plate is installed on the inlet.

C5 Installing the External Vertical Powerflue (UVP)
Note: For information regarding an internal install of the UVP, go to section C4 “Installing the Internal
Vertical Powerflue (UVP)” on page 15.
The UVP is designed to have the enclosure containing the fan unit mounted externally; an example is
shown below.
Note: When installing the unit onto a flue liner, ensure the length of flue liner above the roof is the minimum
required length. ENSURE the Ø25mm restriction plate is installed on the inlet.
The cowl surround should be fixed in place as shown.
Mount the UVP kit to the top of a chimney flashing plate or penetrate the roof with an optional flue
liner accessory and fit the UVP kit over the flue liner, sealing the penetration with a decktite or similar
flashing. Ensure the terminal is vertical and rigidly mounted and the flexi flue attached below is fixed to
the terminal spigots using the supplied hose clamps. The flexi flue is held in place by drilling 3 holes and
screwing 3 self tapping screws evenly around each hose band clamp (as shown in the picture below).

Notes:
1) Should the flue not extend past the apex, the top of the flue should extend at least 400mm from the roof
(or 500mm in regions with heavy snow).
2) The installation of a flue into a carport is not recommended.
3) The flue terminal will get very hot when in use. Precautions should be taken to protect people and animals
from injury.
C7 Running the Flue
A 50mm clearance to combustibles must be maintained from the exhaust flue for the first 1.5m of
flexi flue from the appliance (see diagram below).
Run the Ø100mm and Ø75mm flexible aluminium hoses from the cavity to the rear of where
the horizontal or vertical powerflue terminal will be installed. Allow enough stretch in the flexible
aluminium flue to allow it to protrude through the wall/ceiling/roof/flue liner to enable it to be
connected to the powerflue terminal. The flue should be expanded at each end in order for the flue to
be attached to the fire/powerflue. It is advisable to secure the flexi flue at regular intervals to prevent
vibration, movement and sagging. Steel wire or ‘builders strapping’ may be used for this purpose.
Note: The flexible flue is shipped in a ‘compressed’ form. Extend it to your desired length by stretching.
For information on running the PolyPro flue , see the installation manual which is supplied with the flue
components.

Run the electrical cable from the cavity where the appliance will be installed to the hole in the outside
wall. Ensure it is not draped over, or in contact with, the outer shell of the appliance or the flues.
The cable must be kept clear from any other possible heat sources, sharp edges, or moisture. Fix it
appropriately and allow enough cable to be able to pull both the appliance and the powerflue terminal
out from their installed positions.
