9.2. Installation of Rigid Chimney Pipe
The rigid pipe is best suited for straight chimney flues
with no offsets, or requires offsets to be accessible for the
installation of elbows. In all other cases use the UB Flex
kit instead.
If additional elbows are needed inside the chimney,
complete the connection between the chimney
penetration and the elbows first. Coat all gaskets and the
mating pipes with CENTROCERIN® gasket lubricant and
assemble using a slight turning motion.
Before climbing onto the roof, prepare all pipes and
spacers needed for the length of the chimney as
measured in the previous step. Coat all gaskets and
mating pipes with CENTROCERIN® gasket lubricant.
Keep the spacers close by.
Place the two halves of the spacer (Fig.11) around the
pipe and join them together.
The chimney must be thoroughly cleaned before
installing the flue gas system. It is recommended
to use a professional chimney sweep.

Fig. 11 Spacer
Insert flue gas pipes with the gasket facing up and
equipped with spacer (Fig. 12 Item 1) from above into the
chimney (Fig. 12, Item 2), until the pipe sleeve is a little
above the upper edge of the chimney. Take the next flue
gas pipe and join them together by turning slightly.
