4 Flue Information
A. Flue Components
This model is approved for use with Simpson Dura-Vent
pipes, components and terminations. Approved compo-
nents are labeled for identification. This flue is tested and
listed as an approved component of the stove.
DONOTUSEFIELD-FABRICATEDFLUECOMPONENTS.
Refer to the flue manufacturer’s instructions.
This product is approved to be flued either horizontally
through the side wall or vertically through the roof. You
may flue through a Class A or masonry chimney if an
approved adapter is used.
This gas stove is a balanced flue gas stove. All combus-
tion air must come directly from the outside of the build-
ing. The flue pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an
outer pipe. The inner pipe carries the gas stove exhaust
out of the system, and the outer pipe brings fresh com-
bustion air into the gas stove.
• A heat shield is required when the flue pipe passes
through a combustible wall.
• A support box or ceiling firestop is required when the
venting passes through a ceiling.
• Roof flashing and a storm collar are required when flue
pipe passes through the roof.
• Follow instructions provided with the flue pipe for instal-
lation of these items.
Fire Hazard.
Explosion Risk.
Asphyxiation Risk.
DoNOTconnect this gas appliance toa chimney
flue serving a separate solid-fuel or gas burning
appliance.
• Flue this appliance directly outside.
• Use separate flue system for this appliance.
May impair safe operation of this appliance or
other appliances connected to the flue.
WARNING
CAUTION
ALL flue configuration specifications MUST be followed.
• This product is tested and listed to these specifications.
• Applianceperformance will suffer if specificationsare not
followed.
B. Use of Elbows
C. Measuring Standards
Vertical and horizontal measurements were made using
the following standards.
1. Pipe measurements are from center line to center line.
2. Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (flange of termination cap). See
Figure 3.1 on page 7.
3. Horizontal pipe installed level with no rise.
Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent as-
pects when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the
vertical aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect (see
Figure 4.1).
Two45º elbowsmaybe usedin placeofone 90ºelbow. On
45ºruns, onefootofdiagonalisequalto 216mm horizontal
run and 216 mm vertical run. A length of straight pipe is
allowed between two 45º elbows (see Figure 4.1).

Step 1.
Determine the desired location of the gas stove. Check
to ensure that wall studs or roof rafters are not in the way
when the flue system is being planned. If this is the case,
you may want to adjust the location of the gas stove.
Step 2.
Balanced flue pipe is designed with a locking connection.
To connect the flue system to the gas stove flue outlet, a
twist-lock adapter is built into the gas stove at the factory.
Wall thickness may vary. Remember to include wall
thickness in minimum clearances when figuring flueing
lengths for your installation needs.
Note: Female ends of balanced flue pipe/elbows are
designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent
pipes by orienting the pipe indentations so they match
andslide intothe entry slotsonthemaleends,seeFigure
4.13. Push the pipe sections completely together, then
twist-lock one section clockwise approximately one-quar-
ter turn, until the two sections are fully locked. The female
lockinglugsmay notbevisible fromtheoutside. Theymay
be located by examining the inside of the female ends.

Step 3.
For installations using a slim line heat shield (check pipe
manufacturer's instructions), mark the outside wall for a
254 mm x 254 mm square hole. The center of the square
hole should line up with the center line of the horizontal
pipe, as shown in Figure 4.12. Cut and frame the hole in
the exterior wall where the flue will be terminated. If the
wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible
material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 178 mm diam-
eter hole is acceptable.
Step 4.
Install slim line heat shield as shown in Section 4F.
Step 5.
Position the horizontal termination cap in the center of
the 254 mm x 254 mm square hole and run a bead of
non-hardening mastic around its outside edges, to make
a seal between it and the wall. Attach termination cap to
the exterior wall with the four wood screws provided. The
arrow on the flue cap should be pointing up.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Review the flueing configurations in Figures A and B on
the next page.
1. Assembling Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat
Shield
2. Installing Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat Shield
Figure 4.14
Lay the trim ring on flat surface and bend up the six
welded brackets into a 90 degree position. The brackets
along the outer edge of the ring are for locating the ring in
the center of the hole.
Figure 4.15
The heat shield is shipped flat and must be hand bent into
a half circle before attaching it to the trim ring. Bend the
heat shield as shown.
Figure 4.16
Attach the heat shield to the trim ring with the four screws
provided. Screws go through the heat shield and into the
brackets on the trim ring.
Figure 4.17
When installing the trim ring/heat shield assembly make
sure the trim ring is centered in the hole and that the
shield is above the pipe. There must be a minimum of 19
mm clearance maintained to combustibles from the top of
the heat shield.
Measure from the floor to the center of the flue pipe. Cut
out a 241 mm diameter round hole in the wall. Hold the
trim ring/heat shield assembly in place and put a mark on
the shield with a black marker where it protrudes through
the exterior wall. See Figure 4.12 on previous page.
Use that mark as a guide to trim off excess heat shield
with a pair of sheet metal shears.
Ensure that framing on the inside of the wall is a minimum
inner framing diameter of 254 mm x 254 mm.
The four trim ring mounting screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick,
concrete, or other types of sidings. The trim ring may be
sealed with high temperature caulk or high temperature
adhesive.

Step 1.
Check the installation instructions for required 25 mm
clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or
other nearby combustible surfaces. (See Figure 4.14).
Check the instructions for maximum vertical rise of the
flueing system, and any maximum horizontal offset limi-
tations. All offsets must fall within the set parameters of
the flue charts (Figure 4.2) located on pages 11-15.
Note: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 11.8 m, Figure 4.2.

Step 2.
Set the gas stove in its desired location. Drop a plumb
bob down from the ceiling to the position of the gas
stove flue exit, and mark the location where the flue will
penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next,
drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously
drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the flue will
penetrate the roof. Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters,
or other framing will obstruct the flueing system. You may
wish to relocate the gas stove, or to offset, as shown in
Figure 4.21 to avoid cutting load bearing members.

Step 4.
Assemblethedesiredlengthsofpipeandelbowsnecessary
to reach from the gas stove up through the round support
box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are in
their fully twist-locked position. Assemble as instructed.
Step 5.
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole
placedintheroofinStep2.Theholeshouldbeofsufficient
size to meet the minimum requirements for clearance
to combustibles, as specified. Continue to assemble
lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the
ceiling support box/wall thimble up through the roof line.
Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized in the attic,
as well as above the roofline. The galvanized finish is
desirable above the roofline, due to its higher corrosion
resistance (compared to black pipe).
NOTE:
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid
obstructions, it is important to support the flue pipe
every 914 mm to avoid excessive stress on the
elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are
available for this purpose, Figure 4.10, page 15.
(2) Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90°
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the
flow of flue gases and intake air.
Step 3.
To install the round support box/wall thimble cover in
a flat ceiling, cut a 254 mm square hole in the ceiling,
centered on the hole drilled in Step 2. Frame the hole as
shown in Figure 5.22.

Sliptheflashingoverthepipesection(s)protrudingthrough
the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof with
roofing nails. Ensure the roofing material overlaps the top
edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 4.23. Verify that
the chimney is the required height above the roof. See
roof pitch table, Figure 3.3.
Step 7.
Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height of
the flue (before adding the termination cap) meets the
minimum local code requirements. Note that for steep
roof pitches, the flue height must be increased. See Roof
Pitch Table (Figure 3.3). In high wind conditions, nearby
trees adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs, and other
similar factors can result in poor draft, or down drafting. In
these cases increasing the flue height or switching to the
high wind termination cap may solve this problem.
