the fireplace.
11. Where the fireplace can be used to optimise the Radiant and Convection Heat given off by the
fireplace.
12. The heater does not require a hearth or floor protector to stand on, but should be fixed to the
floor
(2) Ventilation
This fireplace has been designed to operate by drawing its combustion air and dilution air from the
surrounding room. Adequate make up air or ventilation shall be provided in accordance with NZS
5261.
This fireplace has also been designed to draw room air into the heater and to circulate it as
convected heat.
The blocking up or modifying of any of the air ways of the fireplace in any way could create a
hazardous situation either through overheating or poor ventilation.
(3) Gas Connection
A Gas Certification must be carried out for the installation, connection and associated flue system.
All installation work should be carried out by a suitably trained and qualified person to comply with
installation code NZS 5261 and then certified by a Craftsman Gas fitter.

Before installation commences, check the data plate on the fire to verify that the fire is set up to suit
your type of gas supply. Field conversion to suit a different gas is not always practicable.
This fireplace is supplied with a 10mm flare connection mounted at the bottom rear right hand side of
the fireplace, as seen from the front.
A gas line capable of supplying a minimum of 50mJ should be brought to the fireplace with a 10mm
soft copper tail and flare nut. This is to be connected to the flare inlet fitting at the rear of the
fireplace. As an alternative, a flexible hose, bayonet and socket can be fitted to connect the gas
supply to the G series fireplace.
Other systems of connection may be used in accordance with NZS 5621.
(4) Gas Supply Inlet Standing Pressure Set Up Pressure
NATURAL GAS 2.0 Kpa High 1.4 Kpa
Low 0.8 Kpa
U/LPG - PROPANE 2.75 Kpa High 2.5 Kpa
Low 1.5 Kpa
Maximum Inlet Pressure 4.0 Kpa
If inlet pressure exceeds 4.0 Kpa then damage will occur and may result in a hazardous condition.
(5) Test Pressures
Test nipple is located on injection elbow before main burner. For access, remove front inspection
cover by means of two 4mm Allen screws, located at top corners of inspection cover.
(6) Testing
Turn off fire and loosen test nipple screw
Fit 6mm tube and test gauge securely
Turn on fire, check pressure setting high and low
Adjust control valve setting where required, refer control system Data Sheet and Rating Plate for
correct adjustment and settings.
Turn off fire, remove gauge and tube. Secure test nipple screw and replace cover.
(7) Electrical
The Standard G Series fireplace will operate with no need for an external power supply.
This model has a thermocouple safety device that when heated by the pilot flame generates a
millivolt supply enough to operate and control the main burner.
The fireplace when installed should be electrically grounded in accordance with the electrical
regulations.
If the fireplace is supplied with electrical, electronic control system or a fan you should have supplied
or obtained the appropriate electrical and operating instruction to that control system.

(8) Controls

(9) Fluing
This fireplace must be vented to outside atmosphere.
Fluing must be in accordance with the NZS 5261 and all local body by laws.
Flues must be unrestricted.
The flue should be checked for correct height and location in relation to the roof and other objects
in close proximity. (Refer to flue Clearance sheets).
We recommend that the flue should be at least 3,6 metres long.
Stand the heater in its proposed position, taking care to observe the minimum clearances shown.
Drop a plumb-bob from the ceiling to hang centrally in the flue spigot of the fire and
mark the position on the ceiling. Drive a nail through at this position and inspect the ceiling and roof
to ensure that the flue and its air space liner will be at least 25mm clear of any combustible material.
The first two lengths of 150mm flue should be of vitreous enamel to match the colour of the fireplace,
the remainder to be of stainless steel with an outer galvanised liner to be installed where the flue is
concealed.
There must be a minimum clearance of 150mm between these enamel flue lengths and
a combustible wall or any other material.
A minimum clearance of 25mm is required between the flue and air space liner where it penetrates
the ceiling.
A suitable flashing should be used to seal the roof and flue liner.
A suitable cowl and wind skirt is required to prevent down draught and keep rain from coming down
the flue.

Flues must be sealed to prevent damage from water or products of combustion leakage.
Flues should be inspected and tested annually.
Flues should have a minimum draught of -1mm wg.
Flues should have a minimum rise of no less than 10°horizontally
where flue is to be offset.
