FLO-MET DIRECT FLUE TOP EXIT VERTICAL FLUE KIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GF1500LST
This flue kit has been manufactured for use with GF1500LST and to be installed
in accordance with AS/NZS 5601. To ensure safety and correct unit operation this
flue kit must be installed as outlined in these instructions. Heater and flue clearances
from combustible materials must be in accordance with these instructions and AS/
NZS 5601.
1. Locate the heater in its proposed position and mark the point for penetration
directly above the centre of the heater flue outlet. Check the heater location
allows the outer flue to clear all structural timber and combustible surfaces by
51mm minimum.
2. If the enclosure consists of a ceiling – cut a 305mm square hole (minimum) for
the flue to penetrate, cut hole through roofing material and prepare flashing for
termination.
3
. Starting at the heater, install first length of inner pipe, using Mill-Pac sealant and
self-tapping screws (or rivets). Note – first length of inner pipe has a Swage only.
4. Continue assembling flue pipes inner and outer, ensuring each inner join is sealed
using Mill-Pac sealant and self-tapping screws (or rivets). Outer flue pipe installs
crimped end up and must be sealed and fixed together also.
5.
If required, fix outer flue in the ceiling space using non-combustible bracing to stop
movement. On penetration of roof, fit an appropriate flashing or weather seal to suit
the roofing material, ensure all joints outside are sealed with appropriate sealer.
Please note
: bracing, appropriate flashing and heater seal not supplied.
6
. Fit approved gas cowl ensuring inner and outer flue pipes are sealed.
7. Start heater and run for at least 15 minutes to check flue seal. If operational issues
are noted, check flue again to ensure proper seal of inner pipe.
