Element4 Sirius - Timber Frame, Carport, and Basement Installations

INSTALLER INFORMATION
The appliance and Flue system should be tted
with a minimum clearance of 500mm from any
combustible objects or materials, this includes
any combustible materials used for the replace
construction.
The appliance is fully supported off of the rear
bracket supplied with the appliance. This bracket
must rst be securely xed to the wall with the ue
located in the circular cut-out. The appliance can
then be secured to this bracket using the supplied
xings. The controls for this appliance are fully
housed within the Frame, so no Control Encosure
is required for this appliance.
Timber Frame Construction
Whilst it is possible to install room-sealed appli-
ances in timber frame properties, great care needs
to be taken to ensure that the ue assembly does
not interfere with the weather proong qualities
of any outer wall which it may penetrate. Before
attempting this work, further details need to be
referenced, (e.g. “Gas Installations in Timber
Frame Buildings” from the CORGI installer series
in the UK).
Carport or Building Extension
Where a ue terminal is sited within a carport or
building extension, it should have at least two
completely open and unobstructed sides. The
distance between the lowest part of the roof and
the top of the terminal should be at least 600mm.
Note: A covered passageway should not be
treated as a carport. Flues should not be sited in
a covered passageway between properties.
Basements,Lightwells and Retaining
walls
Flue terminals should not be sited within the con-
nes of a basement area, light well or external
space formed by a retaining wall, unless steps
are taken to ensure the products of combustion
can disperse safely at all times. It may be possi-
ble to install this Balanced Flue system in such a
location provided that it is not sited lower than 1m
from the top level of that area to allow combustion
products to disperse safely.
Flue terminals should be sited to ensure total
clearance of the combustion products in accor-
dance with the inclosed information.
When the products of combustion are discharged,
they should not cause a nuisance to adjoining or
adjacent properties and they should be positioned
so that damage cannot occur to other parts of the
building. If the outer wall surface is constructed
of combustible material, a non-combustible plate
should be tted behind the terminal projecting
25mm beyond the external edges of the terminal.
