1. Either locate the appliance in position or by measuring
at the ceiling mark the flue pipe center position. Check
that the outer casing is unobstructed through the attic
space or roof area.
2. Spike the center with a nail. Transfer this position to the
next surface above. Plumb bob/laser.
3. Cut out the ceiling penetration hole – square or
rectangle – short axis equals outer casing diameter
plus 50mm, long axis as required. See Tested Flue
System on page 14 and Un-Tested Flue System on
page 15. Perform the same at the roof penetration.
4. Frame out the hole with minimum 75mm x 50mm
timber or as required for roofing material. Minimum
requirement at roof penetration see NZ Building Code
E2 Acceptable Solution (from 01/07/05) .
5. Install the outer casing so that:
i. lower end is flush with the underside of the ceiling
material and
ii. with the addition of metal “L” brackets, affix to the
outer casing at 90 degrees secure the outer casing
centrally to the ceiling and roof nogs. Alternatively
substitute the “L” brackets for 25mm thick non heat
sensitive packers. Secure the outer casing through
the packers with horizontal fixings to the nogs.
Refer to the General Flue System Instructions on
page 13 for termination height. The option of outer
casing slips to be taken into account.
6. Flash the outer casing to the roof material with the
appropriate approved flashing.
7. If using an outer/inner casing combination, now install
the inner casing ensuring it extends a minimum 200mm
above the high side of the roof penetration. If not using
a combination see ‘11’ below.
8. Refer to steps 1 and 2 under Firebox Installation on
page 8 .

NOTE:
These instructions apply to 150mm diameter flue
pipe systems as tested to
AS/NZS 2918:2001
9. Prepare the ceiling plate and place upside down over
the flue spigot.
10. Install the flue pipes by preferred method – either up or
down the outer casing. Affix each length per the notes
in General Instructions (above). Extend the flue pipe
above the outer casing to suit the casing cover/cowl
assembly.
11. If the inner casing has not been installed, install now.
Refer to step 7 on page 12 for minimum height.
12. Install the cowl assembly, i.e. Top spacer, casing cover
and cowl.
13. Position and secure the ceiling plate with the screws
and spacers.
14. Wipe the flue pipe to remove finger marks.
15. Refer to step 3 under Firebox Installation on page 8 .
