4.2 INSTALLING THE EPI3
A.
Flue collar orientation
Prior to installation, if possible, determine the type of orientation that works best with your appliance.
The orientation of the fl ue collar can be in a vertical position, or you may also choose to allow for a 30 degree
backwards angle by rotating the fl ue collar 180 degrees, at the top of the appliance.
When deciding on the cleaning method for your chimney we recommend cleaning from the top, chimney
cap, downwards. This way the centre bar of the fl ue collar protects the baffl e inside the appliance from any
damages the chimney brush may cause. However, if cleaning must be done from inside the home, cutting the
centre bar inside the fl ue collar can be done using a reciprocating metal cutting saw or hack saw.
B.
Installing a venting system
We recommend that the installation of the connector or fl ue liner be completed prior to continuing, however
this may differ depending on your application. See Figure 1 for venting system components.
1.
Remove the front air tube to gain access to the fi ber baffl e, and then also remove the fi ber baffl e.
2.
Remove the iron fl ue collar from the appliance. Ensure gasket is in place, and in good condition.
3.
Drill three holes into the adapter pipe or fl ue liner using the holes in the iron collar as a guide. Secure
the adapter pipe, or fl ue liner to the fl ue collar. Take care to ensure the studs on the fl ue collar are
properly aligned to their respective holes on the insert.
4.
Using the previously outlined method secure the fl exible pipe to the pipe adaptor.
5. The
fi nished height measurements from the hearth surface to the center bar of the fl ue collar should
be 19” (482.6mm), see Figure 2 for details on the installation of the connector pipe or liner. This
allows for an easy connection, once the appliance is in place.
