Gas connection
Note: Gas connection shall be with rigid or semi-rigid pipe, by concealed connection only. A
15mm (10mm for propane) gas supply pipe with isolation cock should be brought to within 1M
of the fireplace opening. The connection to the burner can be made from the right or left-hand
side by a concealed pipe from behind the burner to the elbow on the left-hand side of the
burner. Use a pre-punched hole in the convection box to allow the gas supply pipe to be
installed. 8mm pipe is required for this purpose.
When passing the pipe through brickwork or plaster, cap the end to prevent entry of debris.
