1. Locate Wood Fire in its proposed position and mark a point on the ceiling that is directly above the centre
of the Wood Fire’s Flue Spigot. Check that the Wood Fire’s location allows the OUTER CASING to clear all
the structural roof timbers.
2. Cut a 200mm square hole in ceiling, directly above a cut hole in roof to accommodate OUTER CASING.
3. Fit timber nogs around ceiling i.e. Nogs form a 200mm square aperture that allows air to circulate freely
over the OUTER CASING surface.
4. Position the OUTER CASING so that it is flush with the underneath of the ceiling and protrudes through
the roof the required height. Note that AS/NZS 2918:2001 4.9.1(a) states, “the FLUE PIPE shall extend not
less than 4.6m above the top of the floor protector.” Refer to Diagram B. Fix into position using appropriate
fastenings.
a) If the FLUE PIPE is within 3 metres of the ridge, the FLUE PIPE must protrude at least 600mm above the
ridge of the roof.
b) If the distance from the ridge is more than 3 metres, the FLUE PIPE must protrude at least 1000mm above
roof penetration.
c) The FLUE PIPE must be more than 3 metres from any nearby structure. (Refer to diagram C).
Additional FLUE PIPE, OUTER CASING and/or INNER CASING may have to be added to ensure the
following.
The correct minimum roof penetration height.
