FITTING THE FIRE
In some cases it may be necessary to place the connecting flue pipe
in the chimney before fitting the fire into the fireplace.
Apply fire cement to the rear face of the sealing flange on the
appliance. Fit the appliance into the opening ensuring that it is central
and that a good seal is made between the sealing flange and the face
of the surround.
Remove any excess fire cement from around the sealing flange. The
fire should be screwed to the hearth through the holes at the base
of the sealing flange.
Connect the heating system to the boiler ensuring that the primary
flow pipe rises from the appliance. Fill the system with water and
check for leaks.
FLUE CONNECTION AND INFILLING
Make the flue connection with a short length of 150mm (6’’)
internal diameter flue pipe (cast iron to BS41:1973, 1.0 mm thick
stainless steel, or 5.0mm thick mild steel).
The end of the flue pipe must line up with the centre-line of the
chimney, and must also extend to the point where the chimney
narrows to its final size. Any large voids must be filled and flaunched
to the flue pipe to ensure that all soot deposits can be cleared when
the chimney is swept. If necessary a flue offset is available. The offset
may be used directly with stainless steel flue pipe or may be used
with cast iron flue pipe in conjunction with a cast iron adaptor. If the
flue pipe has to be set at an angle then cut the ends so that it sits
correctly.
Ensure that the flue pipe is not obstructed or restricted in any way
and that all joints are well sealed.
Before infilling cover the front of the appliance to protect it. Ensure
that the flue pipe is central and then fill the space between the body
of the appliance and the structural brickwork with vermiculite (e.g.
Micafil or similar) concrete. Ensure that there are no air pockets.
The recommended mix is six volumes of vermiculite granules to one
volume of Portland cement thoroughly mixed together. Enough
water should be added so that no more than one or two drops of
water are released when a handful of the mixture is squeezed.
After filling with vermiculite flaunch the top of the flue connector
pipe to the chimney with lime mortar. Make good the holes in the
front and side of the chimney breast making sure that they are
completely airtight. A typical installation is shown in Fig. 9.

Of Flue Pipe,
In most installations it will be possible to sweep the chimney through
the appliance. If this is not possible then some alternative means
(such as a soot door) must be provided.
The free inset method of installation may be used instead of infilling.
Details are available on request.
2. INSTALLATION AS A
FREESTANDING STOVE
The SLX45 may be installed as a Freestanding Stove when supplied
with the Freestanding Panel Pack 020/KV52. Typical installations are
shown in Figs. 10 & 11 and may be either on a freestanding hearth
or in an ‘Inglenook’ type fireplace. In these configurations the
minimum distances to combustible materials must be 200mm from
the sides of the stove and 300mm from the back. Stud wall is
counted as combustible, and if this distance is required to be
reduced, then additional shielding must be provided.
The Hearth requirements are the same as the Inset Installation.
If the stove is to be installed on a freestanding hearth, as shown in
Fig.10, then the fireplace may be bricked up and filled with non-
combustible material, and the chimney breast broken into higher up
the wall, and a sleeve inserted to take the Fluepipe. The angle
between the vertical and the sleeve/fluepipe must be not less than
135°. It is advisable for the vertical section of the Fluepipe to be at
least 600mm long. A soot door for debris clearance/ chimney
sweeping must be provided and this may be in the side or front of
the chimney breast, or outside.
