3.7 Installing the Firebox and Flue
- Remove the door from the fire by opening it and lifting it until the top pivot comes free and then lower
the door until the bottom pivot comes free.
- Check the distance back from the face of the surround to the center of the chimney to determine
whether the flue will require an offset fitting. If needed, fix it to the lower end of the assembled flue
sections in the chimney.
- Lift the flue assembly while the firebox case is pushed back into the recess. Verify that the case will
be fully supported in a level position when installed.
- The Rangitata firebox comes with an insulating blanket fitted out the outer cabinet. It hangs on either
side of the firebox from left to right and a bit at the rear. Do not remove the blanket in any
circumstances.
- Slide the case into the cavity and adjust its position so that flanges of the two side brackets are in line
with the face of the fireplace surround. Refer Fig. 7
- To access the spigot for fitting and fixing the flue, slide-out the top front section of the case.
- Lower the flue into position. Seal the flue pipe at the firebox spigot using fire cement or fiberglass rope.
- Secure the flue to the spigot. Use stainless steel screws.
- Re-fit the sliding panel with the insulating blanket on top of the firebox outer cabinet.
- In New Zealand, safety standards require that the woodfire be secured to prevent shifting in the event
of an earthquake.
To provide seismic restraint
, screw the case to the base of the fireplace recess
with at least two 6mm masonry anchors (Dynabolts) or equivalent. (Fasteners not supplied with the
Rangitata firebox). Refer Fig. 7 for bolt location
- Ensure that the ceiling baffle, secondary air tubes, and the eight side bricks and the two rear bricks are
in their correct position.
3.8 Installing the Fascia
- Unpack the Rangitata fascia.
- The Rangitata ULEB fire crate includes a box of the deep and short lip to create fascia with or without ash
lip.
- Unpack the required lip and attach it to the main fascia using 2x M4 Nuts and 2x self-tapping holes. First,
hook threaded studs on the lip into the holes on the fascia front. Use M4 nuts provided to engage
loosely. Then screw the lip to the flange on the fascia side panel. Tighten the M4 nuts. Refer Fig. 6 for
particular locations. Take care not to scratch any fascia panels.
- Move fascia to the front of the burner and gently slide the assembly inwards weaving air slide into the slot
on the fascia.
- Secure fascia to the firebox with four screws to the cabinet. The screws are positioned on either side of
the door opening. Refer Fig. 6 for the location of screw and speed/clip nuts on the firebox side flanges.
- Push and attach the plastic knob on to the air slide handle.
- Fit the door. Hook the bottom pivot over the lower end of the hinge pin and lift the door until the top pivot
drops over the top end of the hinge pin.
