Flue Installation
For detailed instructions regarding flue
installation, please refer to the instructions that
come with your flue kit.
The correct flue system is critical to the
performance of your wood heater. It must
either be tested with the heater or be a default
flue kit. We recommend you use a Maxiheat
Default Flue Kit.
The flue must be sealed where it enters the
heater at the flue spigot.
CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR
FLUE-SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM
DIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODIFYING
THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OF
C O M P O N E N T S M A Y R E S U L T I N

CONSULTED IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
Flue Height Requirements
Your flue must extend the required height
above your roof to promote sufficient draught.
If the flue is not high enough, the heater will not
“draw” properly causing smoke to spill back
into the room.
The following conditions should be observed:
*
The minimum height of the active flue must
be 4.6m in length measured from the top of
the hearth to the flue termination point.
*
If the flue terminates within 3 m from the
highest point of the roof, then the flue must
be a minimum of 0.6 m above the highest
point.
*
If the flue terminates further than 3 m from
the highest point of the roof, then the flue
must be a minimum of 1 m above roof
penetration.
The installer must ensure that the heater and
flue are correctly and safely installed in
accordance with AS/NZS 2918.
There are other variables that can affect
draught (eg trees or tall buildings nearby). If
you have the correct flue height and still have
problems, consult your dealer.
