FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION
1. Parkwood Pellet Fires are designed to be inserted into existing fireplaces or zero clearance boxes minimum depth
450mm, minimum width of the cavity is 600mm. Minimum height of the cavity is 605mm (add 25mm if a pedestal
hearth is fitted).
2. The outer rear panels of the Fire (The Pellet Fuel Hopper) that are contained in the fireplace or zero clearance box
remains at ambient temperature (cold to touch) and are not affected by combustion (that is contained in the fire box) or
the passage of exhaust gasses.
3. Parkwood recommends that zero clearance boxes are lined with Gib Board Fireline. For ease of servicing,
Parkwood suggests that, where possible, a minimum of 75mm clearance is maintained around the inserted portion
(rear 250mm) of the Fire for ease of maintenance.
4. The Fire requires adequate airflow to operate properly. While installing the Fire, verify that the location will not
interfere with adequate air supply. A 25mm diameter goose neck pipe may need to be fitted to the chimney flashing if
there is inadequate air supply or a grill may need to be fitted to a zero clearance box.
5. The Fire should be installed in such a manner that the Surround Panels of the Fire remain accessible. This provides
for ease of service and maintenance to the Fire
Fire Place Insert Installation Instructions
Refer to the Diagram and Installers Flue Instructions
1. Ensure that the hearth, where the Fire and Surround Panels sit is level. Plaster or shim as necessary to make the
Fire level.
2. Assemble the Surround Panels to the Fire (ensure that the earth wire is connected to the PCB mounting screw with
the nut provided), connect a Cleanout Tee to the Exhaust Pipe on the Fire and check that the Fire fits in the cavity.
Check that the safe clearances are achieved and pull the fire forward.
3. Connect 75mm Stainless Steel Inner Flue to the flexible Stainless Steel Flue and run the flue to the top of the
chimney. Ensure that a 75mm safe clearance between single skin flue components and combustibles is maintained.
4. Fit a 75mm Clamp Support Bracket on the Cleanout Tee if there are more than five 1.2m lengths of 75mm flue used
in the installation.
5. Place the Fire in position and connect the Flexible Flue to the Clean Out Tee. Close the Surround Panels.
5. If an Aquadapt (Rubber Boot) flashing is to be used, ensure a section of 100mm Flue is used to pass through the
flashing. The 100mm Flue must run to within 20mm of the Cowl. Do not sit the Cowl on the 100mm flue. A Spacer
(Spider) or three (3) screws can be used to centralize the inner flue to the outer flue beneath the Cowl.
