installation
Note: If an offset is necessary in the roof
space to avoid obstructions, it is
important to support the flue pipe
every 0.9 meter, to avoid excessive
stress on the elbows, and possible
separation. Metal Wall straps can be
used (Diagram 2). Do not combine
flueing components from other
manufacturers.
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofline
due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue
to add pipe sections through the flashing until
the height of the flue cap meets the minimum
height requirements specified in local codes.
Note that for steep roof pitches, the vertical height
must be increased.

Note: For best results and optimum
performance with each approved
flueing system, “Mill-Pac” sealant to
every inner pipe connection. Failure
to do so may result in drafting or
performance issues not covered
under warranty.
UNIT INSTALLATION WITH
VERTICAL TERMINATION
(Rigid Systems)
Note: A clearance of 50mm must be
maintained. We recommend framing a
279mm x 279mm (inside dimensions)
hole to give structural rigidity for
mounting the termination.
1)
Do not pack air spaces with insulation.
Check "Flueing Arrangement - Vertical
Termination" section for the maximum
vertical rise of the flueing system and the
maximum horizontal offset
limitations.
2)
Set the gas appliance in
its desired location. Drop a
plumb bob down from the
ceiling to the position of the
appliance flue exit, and mark
the location where the flue will
penetrate the ceiling. Drill a
small hole at his point. Next,
drop a plumb bob from the
roof to the hole previously
drilled in the ceiling, and mark
the spot where the flue will
penetrate the roof. Determine
if ceiling joists, roof rafters or
other framing will obstruct the
flueing system. You may wish
to relocate the appliance or to offset, as shown
in Diagram 2 to avoid cutting load bearing
members.
3)
Cut a hole large enough to allow for proper
clearances and or large enough for heat to
escape cavity. .
4)
Assemble the desired lengths of pipe
and elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked position
and sealed.
5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the
small drilled hole placed in the roof in
Step 2. The hole
should be of sufficient
size to meet the minimum requirements for
clearance to combustibles of 50mm.
6)
Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
A poor draft, or down drafting can result from
high wind conditions near big trees or adjoining
roof lines, in these cases, increasing the flue
height may solve the problem. Maximum
height is 6.7 meters.
7)
Penetrate roof and secure flashing (supplied
by installer)
8)
Install the vertical termination cap .
Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which
the flue passes through must be
enclosed.
