Installing Flue Pipe
Install Support Brackets
For Horizontal Runs -
The fl ue system must be supported
every 1.5 meters of horizontal run by a horizontal pipe
support.
To install support brackets for horizontal runs:
• Place the pipe supports around the fl ue pipe.
• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.
For Vertical Runs -
The fl ue system must be supported
every 2.4 meters above the appliance fl ue outlet by wall
brackets. To install support brackets for vertical runs:
• Attach wall brackets to the fl ue pipe and secure the wall
bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.
A. Assembly of Flue Sections
To attach the fi rst fl ue component to the starting collars of
the appliance:
• Lock the fl ue components into place by sliding the pipe
section onto the collar.
• Align the seam of the pipe and seam of collar to allow
engagement. Rotate the vent component to lock into
place. Use this procedure for all vent components. See
Figure 8.1.
• Slide the gasket over the fi rst fl ue section and place it
fl ush to the appliance. This will prevent cold air infi ltration.
High temperature caulk may be used to hold the part in
place.
• Continue adding flue components, locking each
succeeding component into place.
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is securely
fi tted and locked into the preceding component.
Commercial, Multi-family (Multi-level exceeding two sto-
ries), or High-Rise Applications
For Installation into a commercial, multi-family (multi-level
exceeding two stories) or high-rise applications: All outer
pipe joints must be sealed with high temperature silicone,
including the slip section that connects directly to the hori-
zontal termination cap.
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer
pipe joint prior to joining sections.
• Only outer pipes need to be sealed. All unit collar, pipe,
slip section, elbow and cap outer fl ues shall be sealed
in this manner, unless otherwise stated.
Figure 8.1 Adding Venting Components
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! DO NOT break
silicone seals on slip sections. Use care when remov-
ing termination cap from slip pipe. If slip section seals
are broken during removal of the termination cap, fl ue
may leak.
Note: Align seams to engage pipe,
then rotate counterclockwise to lock
Slip Sections
• Slide the inner fl ue of the slip section into the inner fl ue
of the pipe section and the outer fl ue of the slip section
over the outer fl ue of the pipe section. See Figure 8.2.
• Slide together to the desired length.

• Continue adding pipe as necessary following instructions
in “Assembling Pipe Sections.”
NOTICE: If slip section is too long, the inner and outer fl ues
of the slip section can be cut to the desired length.
• Maintain a 4 cm overlap between the slip section and
the pipe section.
• Secure the pipe and slip section with two screws no
longer than 1.3 cm, using the pilot holes in the slip
section. See Figure 8.3.
