fire and method to use a fire in a fireplace with rauchrohr

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for use in installing a gas fire (11) in a fireplace. The apparatus comprises an adaptor member (1,3) in the form of a planar plate (1) from which a flue spigot (3) projects upwardly, the flue spigot (3) in use, being connected with a flue liner. The planar plate (1) has a rearward end section (5) which is interengageable with a rearward part (9) of the fire whereby the planar plate (1) can subsequently be pivoted to a position wherein a front section (18) of the planar plate (1) can be secured to the fire. Said rearward end section (5) and said front section (18) of the planar plate (1) are thus secured to the fire, holding the planar adaptor member flat against the upper surface (13) of the fire with the flue spigot (3) aligned with a flue passage in the fire.
