450 & 600 Inset: flue collar instrucons
The flue collar has a double hook / handle in
the flat posion as part of the base disc. They
can be bent down and used as handles during
the installaon.
The ring has three bolts posioned in such a
way that when ghtened they will lock the flue
pipe in place.
So fibreglass rope can be used to fill the gap
between collar and flue.
Once the stove is in the fireplace the installer
can reach up through the opening in the roof of
the stove and use the hook / handle to pull the
collar down into posion and bolt it in place.
Aer securing the collar the hooks / handles
can be broken off from the base disc by
working them le and right unl they snap off.
If you are using the ‘fireplace seal’ method
and not connecng a flue just snap off the
hooks / handles and aach the collar to the
stove prior to sealing it in place.
