INSTALLATION CONFIGURATIONS
FREE STANDING INTERNAL VERTICAL INSTALLATION
Parkwood recommends an internal vertical installation as the preferred installation. The vertical rise assists the exhaust
fan with natural draft and will prevent wind induced flueing failure. Also extreme cold cannot cool the gasses before
they are flued or cause condensation to form as can be the situation with some external installations. In addition,
radiant heat from the flueing is retained within the home.

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. Install the clean out tee and elbow, place the wall or ceiling ring over the elbow.
Place the fire on the pedestal hearth pad (if installed on a combustible surface) and place the fire in position so that
when the flue is installed vertically, it will be 25mm away from a combustible wall.
4. Use a plumb bob to establish the center of the flue on the ceiling. Ensure that there are no obstacles in the roof
space where the flue is to pass. Use a divider set at a radius of 85mm to scribe a 170mm circle on the ceiling. Use a
plaster panel hole saw to cut the hole out.
5. Use a plumb bob to establish the center of the flue on the roof.
6. Install the flue upward from there. When you reach the ceiling, make sure that the inner and outer flue goes through
the wall or ceiling ring.
7. Fit a 100mm clamp support bracket on the cleanout tee if there are more than six (6) 1.2m lengths of flue to support
the weight of the flue.
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 or ceiling ring. Fit a non combustible shield (12mm from the combustible surface) 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.
