Hello I have unearthed an old fireplace in my living room, I will be having this swept then I plan on installing this https://imgur.com/gallery/vmJsaSy

my question is how I get it to stick to the wall, would bonding plaster do this or wouldn’t have to use something else? Also with this insert already having a “back” would it not require a clay fireback? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

It would certainly have had fire brick / chair brick lining the hearth, I would suggest a bit of searching on You tube must be some showing the correct way to fit a cast fireplace.
 
I think its held in place with a fireplace surround. Ive a near identical unit, and hopefully getting a hetas fireplace installer to swap it with the peach and salmon coloured tiled monster I currently have.
