c) Decide which side the gas supply is to enter the fire from. The gas
connection can be made via the left hand side, right hand side or rear,
to the burner tray inlet elbow which is located at the bottom left hand
side at the front. The gas connection to the appliance should be made
to the isolating / inlet elbow using 8mm rigid tubing. There must be no
soldered joints within the firebox. See Fig. 6a below.
Fig. 6a
Note : Before breaking into the gas supply a pressure drop test should be
carried out to establish that the existing pipework is sound.
