## Abstract

This invention relates to improvements in heaters and more particularly to fireplace insert heaters. The invention relates to a cabinet for such heaters which provides a removable panel which is slidable relative to remaining portions of the heater to enable access to a flue connection for a firebox of the heater to thus enable the heater to be readily installed or removed from an in situ flue installation. The invention provides a removeable portion of a wall of the cabinet which when removed facilitates access to and connection and disconnection of the flue.

## Claims

### Claim 1

For a heater which is insertable at least partially in a fireplace through a fireplace opening and comprising a firebox having a front face, a flue stub extending outwardly from the firebox, and connecting means for connecting an outer end of the flue stub to a flue in situ in a chimney for conveying products of combustion away from the firebox, a cabinet arranged to at least partially enclose the firebox and being substantially the same size as the opening, the cabinet having an upper wall enclosing the flue stub under the connecting means, the wall having front and rear parts, the front part of which slopes downwardly from the front face of the fire box toward the connecting means and is movable when the cabinet is in situ to provide a space allowing access to the connecting means.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A cabinet according to claim 1, in which the movable front part is locatable substantially wholly within the fireplace.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A cabinet according to claim 1, and including a door assembly at least a portion of which is removable to allow access to the movable frost part.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A cabinet according to claim 1, and including guide formations in which the movable frost part can be slidably mounted.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A cabinet according to claim 1, in which the movable front part can be removed from the cabinet.
