Installing the Flexible Pipe
Four springs are installed between the inside and outside pipe to ensure that an even air
space is provided. It is important that two springs be located at any bend in order to prevent
the pipes from touching. The length of pipe supplied is approximately 28" (71cm). The pipe
can be stretched to provide 1-2 additional inches. Bending the pipe will cause the pipe to
stretch.
It is important that the small exhaust pipe is fitted snug on the heater flue
collar.
Try each
end of the pipe and use the end that fits tighter. Once the small pipe is fitted snug then insert
the larger pipe ( this pipe does not have to fit as tight ) Pipes inserted into the cap do not have
to fit as snug.
We do not recommend you cut the pipe but the pipe can be cut with a fine hacksaw blade to
the required length. Twist the pipe to tighten the pipes flexibility, then tape the end of the
pipe and install a hose clamp on the side of the pipe that you are keeping. This is so the clamp
is left on the pipe and only removed after or during installing. Cut with fine tooth hack saw
blade then use a round file to remove the large burrs in the inside of the pipe.
Caution
The flexible pipe can be easily damaged.
Additional 28" (70cm) or 10” (25.4cm) lengths of pipe are sold as an option (Part No. S19-000
and S19-005). A coupling fitting is provided with the optional length.
Installing The Direct Vent Thru-Fitting and Cap
Step - 1
Measure, and cut or drill a 3" hole through the deck, ceiling or wall where
the exhaust cap will be located.
Step - 2
Make sure the sealing gasket is installed under the above deck-flange before
screwing down the fitting. Rotate the fitting to position the pipe seam,
inside the boat, so that it is not visible. Holding the deck flange firmly in
position secure with the 6 S/S screws supplied.
Step - 3
Attach the dress ring on the inside, underneath the fitting with the 4 S/S
screws supplied. (Make sure that the opening lines up with the underside of
the thru-deck or the pipe will not fit correctly).
Step - 4
Install the flexible pipe on the heater. It is very important that the small pipe
fit tightly against the flue collar on the stove, the cap and any other
connections.
Step - 5
Make whatever bends are necessary in the flexible pipe and push into the
thru-fitting.
Step - 6
Secure the heater in position by attaching the back mounting plate.
