WARNING: FLUE KITS MUST BE MANUFACTURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS/NZS 2918:2001 AND 

TESTED TO APPENDIX F. TO ENSURE SAFETY THIS FLUE KIT MUST BE INSTALLED AS 

OUTLINED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF

MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFICATIONS AND AS/NZS 2918:2001.  

The Wagener Fairburn uses a 150mm diameter flue. It is imperative that the connection between the flue and 

the flue flange is sealed using a suitable flue sealant/fire cement. If an offset bend is required it should be as 

steep as possible to enable ease of cleaning. Extra flue height may be required to compensate for any lack of 

draw through a bend. The performance of the Wagener Fairburn depends more on the flue than on any other 

single component as it is the draw on the flue that drives the Fairburn. 

We recommend 4.8 metres of 

flue for optimum performance. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The top of the flue system should be at least 1000mm above the roof or at least 600mm higher than any 

obstacle or ridge within 3 metres of the flue. The flue pipe shall extend not less than 4.6M ABOVE the floor 

protector. However a total minimum vertical height of 4.8 metres is recommended for optimum 

performance. Joints between sections of the flue pipes are push fitted so that the upper section enters the 

bottom section and must be SEALED using a suitable flue sealant/fire cement.

 

Each section should be secured 

to prevent separation using three monel steel rivets.  

 

PLEASE FOLLOW STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 5  

 

Clean flue pipes before lighting the fire

. Stainless Steel pipe should be wiped clean using a soft cloth and 

methylated spirits to remove finger marks and oils used to manufacture the flue pipe. Hi-Therm flue pipe can 

be touched up if required using only STOVE BRIGHT aerosol paint.
