6.3 Appliance Installation
Before commencement of any building works we recommend that a thorough structural
survey is carried out of the installation location, ensuring that any work done will be
safe.
A flat, level, opening must be prepared in accordance with local building regulations to
the following specification:-
The Fire Wave is supplied as a complete unit with built in remote and gather unit.
There should be no reason to dismantle the appliance. The only connection required is
an 8mm gas supply.
The Fire Wave does not have its own support lintel. Therefore in some cases it may be
necessary to install a lintel above the opening. Check with building regulations if in
doubt.
This Fire is supplied with the gather unit attached. This is required in order to ensure
the fire operates safely and inline with the CE approval.
The enclosure is then inserted into the opening and positioned so that the front edge is
aligned with the final face
of the wall. Please note that if a wall cover (plaster board)
is to be added this must be taken into account.
A suitable gas supply is required within the opening. The appliance is supplied with an
isolation ball valve. This should be retained and used as the connection point.
The complete unit is inserted into the building opening and the gas supply fed into the
burner tray via one of the holes provided. All other holes must be blocked with a
suitable metal tape.
Great care must be taken when handling the fire burner to ensure the battery remote
system does not become damaged.
Any gaps between the enclosure, gather and flue system should be sealed with fire
cement to ensure a closed system.
