10.3 Installing the Flue System AUSTRALIA ONLY:

Non-Masonry Timber Frame Cavity:

The heater must be flued to the outside via a 100mm diameter inner flue that is covered by a

150mm diameter liner. This must be installed in accordance with the requirements of

AS5601 and local codes.

The minimum flue length = 3.6m vertical height

10.4 AUSTRALIA ONLY Consult the installation instructions that come with your flue

kit. To ensure safety the flue kit must be installed according to those instructions. An

overview is provided below. Ensure all clearances to combustibles are maintained as per

specifications earlier in this manual.

It is important to check that you have all the necessary flue parts before beginning your

installation.

1. Locate the Outer Skin Kit in the cavity as per the instructions in section

15 of this manual. Mark the point for penetration that is directly above

the centre of the flue outlet on the gas fireplace. Check that the location

ensures that the flue outer liner maintains a 25mm clearance to all

combustibles and timber framing.

2. Cut a 200mm square hole where the penetration is required using the

mark created in step 1 as a guide. Fit non-combustible nogs in the

ceiling space if required.

3. Measure the overall flue length required. Remember to allow for all

necessary clearances to neighbouring structures (including a minimum

of 600mm clearance above the nearest point on any part of the roof). It

is recommended that extending the flue above the ridgeline will assist

with down draught issues. Consult AS5601 2002 for further information.

4. Assemble all the outer liner lengths and fix together with pop rivets or

self tapping screws. Lower the assembled outer liner through the roof (or

false chimney) and secure to the fixed part of the Outer Skin Kit. Fix as

necessary to inner framing where possible (see section 12.4).

5. Assemble the Ø100mm inner flue lengths using pop rivets or self tapping

screws. It is recommended that all flue joints are sealed. Lower the

Ø100mm inner flue assembly from the roof through the centre of the

outer liner and locate onto the gas fireplace spigot. Ensure that the top

of the Ø100mm inner flue is at the correct height at the top of the outer

liner.
