The flue gather is not designed to support the chimney or its liners.
Normally the gather would be used in conjunction with one of the adapters, which are available
in several forms.
Type A - Forms a receptacle for the spigot of a standard size flue liner 200mm square.
Type B - Accepts the 225mm circular liner.
Type C - Is sized for nominal 200mm diameter vitreous or stainless steel flue pipe and for
200mm double skinned flexible stainless steel flue liners.
Type D - Is sized for export
Type E - Accepts the 175mm circular liner.
Type F - Accepts the 200mm circular liner.
When raised into position below the flue liner, the adapter may be supported by drilling and screw
fixing, or by use of the special adapter clamp. The adaptor has 25mm of vertical movement to
take up small variations in height.
Large adapters of similar design are available for E850 and E1050 fires. These are based upon
250mm and 300mm internal flue dimensions.
Hearths and Fire Surrounds
The floor or recess on which the fire stands shall have adequate load bearing capacity. Particular
attention shall be paid to existing constructions.
New hearths, fireplaces recesses and chimneys should be constructed to conform to Building
Regulations Part J.
Hearths, or plinths constructed to support the fire above the hearth, must be horizontal. Some
fire surrounds will require the fire to be set above hearth level, or forward of the chimney breast.
The Jetmaster decorative contemporary frame requires sufficient clearance around the firebox
to allow for the frame to fit flush with the fireplace surround. Take this into account when forming
the recess and front finished face of the fireplace for the fire.
Protection of Heat and Shelves. (Not tested under conditions of EN13229)
As on all heat producing appliances the use of flammable wall coverings directly above or to the
sides of the fire may lead to a fire hazard. Please bear this in mind when installing the appliance
or decorating.
If in doubt always consult the building regulations regarding the proximity of combustible
materials.
