INBUILT FLUE INSTALLATION

Cut a 260mm (minimum) square penetration for the passage of the flue pipe and casing 

through the ceiling. If preferred there can be no ceiling in the framed enclosure. Cut an 

opening  through  the  roof  to  position  the  outer  casing  through  the  roof  and  support  if 

necessary with bracing angle to suitable anchorage points.

Join the required number of 150mm flue pipes by inserting the swaged ends of the upper 

piece into the plain end of the lower piece. Drill and fix each length with three stainless 

rivets or self-tapping screws. It is important that each 150mm flue pipe joint is sealed with 

commercially  available  flue  sealing  compound,  including  the  joint  between  the  flue 

spigot and the first length of flue pipe.

Ensure a suitable flashing is installed on any roof penetration point. Flash the outer casing 

to the roof, to make a permanent, weatherproof seal.
