7.
Ensure that the pipe clearances to combustible
materials are maintained (Diagram 3). Install
the termination cap.
Note: If installing termination on a vinyl
siding covered wall, a vinyl siding
standoff or furring strips must be
used to ensure that the termination
is not recessed into the siding.
The four wood screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
8. Before connecting the horizontal run of flue pipe
to the flue termination, slide the Wall Thimble
over the flue pipe. The wall thimble is required
for all horizontal terminations.
9. Slide the appliance and flue assembly towards
the wall carefully inserting the flue pipe into the
flue cap assembly. It is important that the flue
pipe extends into the flue cap sufficient distance
so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of
32mm. Secure the connection between the flue
pipe and the flue cap.
10. Install wall thimble in the center of the framed
hole and attach with wood screws (Diagram 4).
Install the flue system according to the manufacturer's
instructions included with the components.
1. Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the
way when the flueing system is attached. If this
is the case, you may want to adjust the location
of the unit. Rough in the gas preferably on the
right side of the unit and the electrical (junction
block is on the left side) on the left.
2. Direct Flue pipe and fittings are designed with
special twist-lock connections to connect the
flueing system to the appliance flue outlet. A
twist-lock appliance adaptor is required.
3. In conjunction with the Approved Flue system,
install the adaptor after the unit is set in its
desired location. Put a bead of Mill-Pac inside
the outer section of the adapter and a bead of
Mill-Pac on the inner collar. Slip the adapter over
the existing inner and outer flue collar. Fasten to
the outer collar only with the 3 supplied screws
(drilling pilot holes will make this easier).
4. Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the top and side
nailing strips.

under warranty.
Diagram 2
Horizontal runs of flue must be supported
every 0.9 meter. Wall straps are available for
this purpose.
6. Mark the wall for a square hole - see chart to left
for size. The center of the square hole should line
up with the center-line of the horizontal pipe. Cut
and frame the square hole in the exterior wall
where the flue will be terminated. See diagram
2 for center line requirements.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block
or concrete, an 203mm diameter hole is
acceptable.
Note:
a)
The horizontal run of flue must be level, or
have a 6mm rise for every 305mm of run
towards the termination. Never allow the
flue to run downward. This could cause high
temperatures and may present the possibility
of a fire.
b)
The location of the horizontal flue termination
on an exterior wall must meet all local and
national building codes.
5. Assemble the desired combination of pipe and
elbows to the appliance adaptor and twist-lock
for a solid connection.
