150 MM FREE STANDING WOODFIRE FLUE KIT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(See illustration Page 4)
This flue kit has been manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 2918:2001 and tested to appendix F.
To ensure safety this flue kit must be installed as outlined in these instructions. Heater and flue clearances
from combustible walls must be in accordance with heater manufacturer’s specifications and AS/NZS
2918:2001. Theses installation instructions are for tested appliances only.
1.
Locate heater in its proposed position and mark a point on the ceiling that is directly above the centre
of the heater’s flue outlet. Check that the heater’s location allows the OUTER HEAT SHIELD to clear
all structural roof timbers.
2.
Cut a 260mm square hole in the ceiling. Directly above cut a hole in the roof to accommodate OUTER
HEAT SHIELD.
3.
Fit timber nogs around ceiling and roof holes. i.e. Nogs form a 260mm square aperture which allows
air to circulate freely over the OUTER HEAT SHIELD surface.
4.
Position the OUTER HEAT SHIELD so that it is flush with the underneath of the ceiling and protrudes
through the roof the required height. (Refer to AS/NZS 2918/2001 if more details are required).
When calculating roof penetration height allow for an extra 500mm that can be achieved by using the
OUTER HEAT SHIELD SLIP EXTENSION.
a)
If the flue is within 3 metres of the ridge, the OUTER HEAT SHIELD must protrude at least
600mm above the ridge of the roof.
b)
If the distance from the ridge is more than 3 metres, the OUTER HEAT SHIELD must protrude
at least 1000mm above roof penetration.
Additional OUTER HEAT SHIELD and INNER SHIELD (BAFFLE) may have to be added to ensure the correct
roof penetration heights are obtained.
5.
Fix an appropriate flashing around the OUTER HEAT SHIELD to seal onto the roofing material.
6.
From the roof slide the INNER SHIELD into the OUTER HEAT SHIELD until it rests 12mm above
ceiling level.
7.
Assemble FLUE PIPES together ensuring seams are in line. Secure each joint with 3 rivets or self-
tapping screws. FLUE PIPES must be assembled with crimped ends down. (towards heater)
8.
Place CEILING PLATE over heater flue spigot, ensuring the folded edge upstands are facing the ceiling.
9.
From the roof lower FLUE PIPE through OUTER HEAT SHIELD into position.
10.
Before securing the OUTER HEAT SHIELD SLIP EXTENSION to the OUTER HEAT SHIELD with 3
rivets or self tapping screws, ensure the FLUE PIPE extends above the top of the OUTER HEAT
SHIELD SLIP EXTENSION 145mm. Adjust SLIP EXTENSION to obtain this measurement. If minimum
roof penetration heights described earlier can not be achieved add sufficient stainless steel FLUE PIPE.
11.
Fit TOP FLUE SPACER BRACKET to the FLUE making sure the lugs fit snugly inside OUTER HEAT
SHIELD SLIP EXTENSION. Make sure TOP FLUE SPACER BRACKET fits hard down onto OUTER
HEAT SHIELD SLIP EXTENSION.
12.
Fit CASING COVER over the FLUE PIPE and push down firmly onto TOP FLUE SPACER BRACKET.
Secure with a rivet or self-tapping screw.
13.
Fit COWL but do not secure, as removal for flue cleaning will be necessary.
14.
Fasten CEILING PLATE to ceiling using screws and spacers provided. Ensure an even air gap around
FLUE PIPE when fixing. Remove protective plastic from CEILING PLATE.
N.B. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the installation of this flue kit complies
with AS/NZS 2918:2001, the appliance manufacturers specifications for flues and that relevant
Local Body requirements are adhered to.
