OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: Mynx
Installation and operation of the Mynx
4) How To Install
a) Locate the unit, and cut
through the ceiling
After the appropriate floor level position
for the unit was decided on, it is important
to ensure that the roof structure will
allow for the flue pipe to pass safely
through the roof.
Note the requirements
described under Roof & Ceiling requirements
above. See page 3 section 3)b)
Carefully cut a hole through the ceiling
in a position away from any timber beams
or brandering, making sure that the
opening is Ø200mm. Use the ceiling
escutcheon plate inner diameter as a
template and add 12 mm all round.
Remove roof tiles in the immediate area
or cut a similar hole through the roofing
material. It is important to note the size
of the base plate of the flashing. It might
be necessary for example, to remove
additional roof tiles, in order to allow the
flashing to be located properly.
If a hearth is to be constructed (e.g. in a
carpeted room), use a plumb line from
the centre of the hole in the ceiling to
determine the position of the hearth.
The next step is to carefully locate the
unit in its final position.
b) Now fit the flue pipes.
Flue pipes are fitted with the knurled end
facing upwards. Slide the flue pipe over
the collar on top of the unit
NOTE: If a damper section is fitted, this must
be the first section fitted directly on top of
the unit. Ensure that the operating mechanism
will be accessible for use during operation.
The handle mechanism is intended to be
facing towards the front of the unit.
Fit the rest of the flue pipes by sliding the
plain end of the higher pipe, over the
knurled section of the lower pipe.
TIP: It might be easier to first join two pipes,
and then lift both pipes so that the top section
goes through the ceiling. Then fit the next
section underneath. This will be at a more
convenient height. The completed flue can
then be lifted on top of the unit as a last step.
The flue pipes are designed to form
adequate seals on each joint, and to form
a neat joint. The joints are not designed
to keep the flue sections in a straight line.
Keeping the flues in a straight line must
be done by providing support from the
outside of the flue.
