hi

here's the instructions: http://www.sitehitz.com/gasfire002.pdf and http://www.sitehitz.com/gasfire003.pdf it's not the best bit of scanning but readable.

so my pot's are tall and slender but going by the size of the terminal in there, are they likely to be 7"? is the terminal that's in there now fixed in there or will the chimney sweep be able to push it off with his brush?

Soz mate i thought youd bought an ilfe fire and i didnt think the pot looked like the wider dia pot. Youl have to make sure that the pot is ok dia to be used with fire . But your engineer who fits it will want to check pot b4 he installs the fire even though its high.

thanks kris, hmmm i don't want to do it if it's going to cost loads, or even have to pay out a few hundred just to find out it's going to be a big job. and if i'm likely to need new chimney pots, scaffolding etc it's going to be. it looks like the company that make the fire are called scirroco fires now not winther browne, here's a better copy of the manual from there site http://www.siroccofires.com/pdf/royal600manual.pdf

edit: i've just had a brain wave, i clean gutters for one of my jobs and use a gopro video camera and carbon poles (upto over 40 foot). i'll use that to have a look at the pots in the morning and I maybe able to guage the size of them from that.

It maybe wont cost you anything but the gas fitter will want to check pots anyway to make sure.
