Before Connecting the Fire
Check ROOM SIZE REQUIREMENTS.
Check VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS.
Check GAS PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS.
Fully purge pipes of air and any debris and connect the gas supply to the
8mm supply on the fire. Leak test the supply using an approved method.
Note: An isolating valve must be situated near the appliance for servicing.
In the even of gas leakage from the appliance the gas supply must be
turned off at the nearest isolating valve.
Before lighting, if the pipes have not been purged of debris do so
now before lighting the fire. Failure to do so will result in blockages
within the pilot.
All CVO gas fires are bench run and thoroughly tested. CVO is in the unique
position of knowing that every fire that leaves the factory in perfect working
order with accurate test records kept for every fire. This ensures every fire
complies with the CE approval.
Connect the 8mm gas inlet to a gas inlet test elbow. This should be
positioned as shown in the images. The elbow should be connected to the
isolation valve as shown in the images.
Gas Inlet Supply – This is via an 8mm gas tap (isolation valve) which is
supplied fitted to the appliance. A Gas Inlet Elbow is required to check inlet
pressure. This is supplied with the fire and must be position as close to the
isolation valve as possible.
It is recommended that if the gas pipe work is in excess of 1.5m the size of
the pipe work should be increased in diameter after this point to ensure a
stable gas supply.
IMPORTANT NOTE: LPG/Propane:
With Outside Tank: The tank must be fitted with a regulator and
suitable pipe work used to ensure the gas pressure (as stated on the data
plate) is maintained at all times. The pressure must be tested “at the
appliance” – see commissioning.
With Bottles: The minimum requirement is 2 x 47Kg bottles with a
changeover valve. Any other connections using bottles will result in
shutdown problems and damage to the fire. The bottles must be fitted with a
regulator and suitable pipe work used to ensure the gas pressure (as stated
on the data plate) is maintained at all times. The pressure must be tested
“at the appliance” – see commissioning.
