installation
NOTE: Horizontal sections must be sup-
ported at intervals not exceeding
0.9 meter. (Flame picture and per-
formance will be affected by sags
in the liner).
4)
Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble and
securely fasten the one with the tabs to the
outside wall making sure that the tabs are
on top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble
half to the inside wall. The thimble halves
slip inside each other and can be adjusted
for 51 x 102mm x 51mm x 152mm walls.
5)
Slip the assembled liner and termination
assembly through the thimble making sure
the termination cap faces up (there are
markings on the cap that show which way
is up). This will position the termination cap
with proper down slope for draining water.
Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4
supplied screws.
6) Pull the centre 127mm liner and outer
203mm liner out enough to slip over the flue
collars of the fireplace. (You may wish to cut
the liner shorter to make it more workable.)
Do not bend liner more than 90
o
. The liners
must slip over the collars a minimum of
35mm.
7)
Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar
and slip the 127mm liner down over it and
attach with 3 supplied screws.
UNIT INSTALLATION
(With Horizontal Termination Flex
System)
Note: A top clearance of 76mm and
side & bottom clearance of 51mm
must be maintained; except when
passing through a wall, ceiling, or
at the termination where the use of
a wall thimble reduces the required
clearance to 38mm. We recommend
framing a 279mm x 279mm (inside
dimensions) hole to give structural
rigidity for mounting the termination.
1)
Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the
gas (preferably on the right side of the
unit). Locate the centerline of the termination
and mark wall accordingly. Cut an 279mm
hole in the wall (inside dimension).
2)
Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the nailing
strips.
3) Assemble the flue assembly by apply-
ing Mill Pac to the 127mm inner collar of
the termination and slipping the 127mm
liner over it at least 35mm. Fasten with the
3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make this
easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temperature
silicone to the 203mm flex pipe and slip it
over the outer collar of the vent terminal at
least 35mm and fasten with the 3 screws.
8) Do the same with the 203mm liner.
9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble
and termination and around the outer edge
of the terminal at the wall in order to keep
the water out.
IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination
hood where excessive snow or ice
buildup may occur. Be sure to check flue
termination area after snow falls, and
clear to prevent accidental blockage
of flueing system. When using snow
blowers, make sure snow is not directed
towards vent termination area.
