FREE STANDING EXTERNAL VERTICAL INSTALLATION
An external installation is often used when the customer does not want the flue to be visible or if the pellet fire will sit
too far forward in the room for an internal installation to be practical.
Free Standing External Vertical Installation Instructions and Diagram
Refer to the Diagram and Installers Flue Instructions and check your local building codes, regulations and
requirements.
1. Choose a fire
location that is suitable. See the section “Positioning the Pellet Fire” on page 7.
2. Place a non-combustible hearth pad where required, if necessary.
3. Determine the centre point of where the flue is to exit the wall of the dwelling and use a divider set at a radius of
85mm to scribe a 170mm circle on the wall. Drill a hole through the wall to establish the centre point on the exterior of
the wall and scribe a 170 mm circle on the exterior of the house, cut the hole in the dwelling wall.
4. Connect a 75mm and 100mm Flue to the fire and pass them through the dwelling wall ensuring that the wall or
ceiling rings are sealed vermin and waterproof with silicone. Connect a clean out tee in a position so that when the Flue
is installed vertically, it will be 25mm away from a combustible wall.
5. Use a plumb bob to establish the center of the flue on the soffit and use a divider set at a radius of 85mm to scribe a
170mm circle on the soffit and cut the hole in the soffit.
6. Use a plumb bob to establish the center of the flue on the roof, cut the hole in the roof.
7. Install the flue upward from there. When you reach the soffit, make sure that the inner and outer flues go through a
wall or ceiling ring to provide adequate safe clearance.
8. When using double skin flue components, a 25mm clearance is required from all combustibles. Single skin flue
components must have a 75mm safe clearance from combustibles.
For wall and ceiling penetrations, additional safe clearance (75mm from the inner flue) is met by installing a Parkwood
supplied wall / ceiling ring. Fit a non combustible shield if safe clearances for flue components cannot be achieved.
9. Extend the flue to go through the roof and flash the roof penetration.
10. Do not sit the cowl on the outer flue. Ensure that there is a minimum of 20mm gap to allow natural upward draft. A
spacer (spider) or three (3) screws can be used to centralize the inner flue to the outer flue beneath the cowl.
