Hi. Had a brilliant innovation gas fire installed 4 months ago. On the lowest setting it is still to hot. Can it be turned down, the are 2 valves near the burner one is the shut off valve. Is the other a regulator?

ok cheers so do you think the valve and actuator are ok ? this morning c/heating failed again. i need to push (help it) the manual arm on the side to get the heating to turn on. do you think it is the actuator?

cheers yes i have removed the actuator and this turns when the c/heating is turned on. i have used wd40 on the spindle and it seems abit easier to turn with my fingers. this morning it worked ok as it always did just wondering with not using the c/heating as often as the hot water it has sort...

just a thought, would i be correct in saying the starter blocks are to low for a hole in the wall fire if the fire is fitted say 4 ft high. surely a builder or gas tech whoever could rebuild the starter blocks in a higher position on a sort of wall ?

cheers, i found this fire it says i has a precast flue option ? http://www.burningdesireuk.com/shop/class-2-precast-flues/precast-hole-in-the-wall-gas-fires/new-dawn.htm

thanks for the info. could it be possible to raise the starter blocks say 600mm approx say rebuild the bottom starter blocks to accomadate the fire at that height ?

got a few in mind they are the hole in the wall type sizes are approx 900 mm wide and 600mmhigh, the ones with a living flame. they all seam to be only for chimney or a balanced flue ?
