Electrical supply
An electrical supply will be required. This should be by means of an isolating wall
switch provided by an electrician, located preferably at the left side of the fireplace.
Not inside the framing cavity. See installation drawing for preferred location of
switch.
Insulation Kit & Timber Clearance
When installed into timber framing the Real Fire must be installed with an insulation
kit. This must be ordered with the fire and fitted in the factory by Real Fires.
The insulation kit allows the firebox to be installed with minimal timber clearances:
10mm clearance on sides of firebox, 25mm clearance from rear and top of firebox
The timber clearance from the twin wall flue is also 25mm.There is no requirement
for any additional fireproof materials within the fireplace cavity providing minimum
clearances are allowed.
Recessed firebox installation
Standard wall linings are not suitable for recessed installation. Please contact
Real Fires for advice prior to installation
Flue requirements
The minimum flue height is 2.4 metres
The flue cowl should be no lower than 900mm vertically from the roof line and a
2 metre horizontal clearance from any part of the building. see cowl clearance

Installation instructions
Firstly the firebox and flue are installed and then the burner is installed. The burner
may be installed at a later date when all the construction work is complete and the
hearth is in place.
The firebox is placed on the platform provided and the gas pipe is pushed through the
hole at the right hand rear of the firebox ( RH from the front of the fire).
This pipe is to be connected to the burner but may be left sealed if the burner is to be
installed later. Leave enough pipe to connect the burner.
Once the firebox is in place ensure it is level. Usually the firebox is positioned
centrally and so that the flange around the firebox opening is left forward of the
timber framing by 10mm, this is to allow for giboard to be fixed behind the flange.
From the positioned firebox the flue can be assembled. The flue is in 1200mm lengths
with both inner and outer flue. Each flue length has a crimped end to join tightly to
the next length. Each joint must be securely fixed by at least three stainless steel
rivets. The firebox has a spigot for the flue to locate over.
The flue lengths should be installed with the crimped end facing up.
