▪ Flue pipe installed crimp/narrow end down
▪ Outer casings installed crimped/narrow end up. (Critical when exposed above the roof)
▪ Inner casings - direction not critical
▪ Flue pipes - seal all joints including rebox spigot.
- x with a minimum of 3 stainless steel rivets
▪ Flue pipe spacers - afx to ue pipe
▪ Flue system termination point - Refer to AS/NZS 2918:2001 4.9.1, see Fig. 9.
▪ Flue pipe shall extend not less than 4.6m above top of the oor protector as per
AS/NZS 2918:2001 4.9.1(a)
▪ Façade or chase systems - same rule applies as above.
▪ Roof penetration and ashing method refer to NZ Building Code E2.(From 01/07/05)
Note: These instructions apply to 150mm diameter ue pipe systems as tested to
AS/NZS 2918:2001
1. Either locate the appliance in position or by measuring at the ceiling mark the ue pipe centre position.
Check that the outer casing is unobstructed through the attic space or roof area.
2. Spike the centre with a nail. Transfer this position to the next surface above. Plumb bob/laser.
3. Cut out the ceiling penetration hole – square or rectangle – short axis equals outer casing diameter
plus 50mm, long axis as required. See Table 5 . Perform the same at the roof penetration.
4. Frame out the hole with minimum 75 x 50 timber or as required for roong material. Minimum
requirement at roof penetration see NZ Building Code E2 Acceptable Solution (from 01/07/05).
5. Install the outer casing so that :-
(i) lower end is ush with the underside of the ceiling material and
(ii) with the addition of metal “L” brackets, afx to the outer casing at 90 degrees secure the outer
casing centrally to the ceiling and roof nogs. Alternatively substitute the “L” brackets for 25mm thick
non heat sensitive packers. Secure the outer casing through the packers with horizontal xings to
the nogs. Refer to the General Instruction for termination height. The option of outer casing slips to
be taken into account.
6. Flash the outer casing to the roof material with the appropriate approved ashing.
7. If using an outer/inner casing combination, now install the inner casing ensuring it extends a minimum
200mm above the high side of the roof penetration. If not using a combination see ‘11’ below.
8. Refer to Firebox Installation, points 1 & 2.
9. Prepare the ceiling plate and place upside down over the ue spigot.
10. Install the ue pipes by preferred method – either up or down the outer casing. Afx each length
per the notes in General Instructions (above). Extend the ue pipe above the outer
casing to suit the casing cover/cowl assembly.
11. If the inner casing has not been installed, install now. Refer to 7 above for minimum height.
12. Install the cowl assembly, i.e. Top spacer, casing cover and cowl.
13. Position and secure the ceiling plate with the screws and spacers.
14. Wipe the ue pipe to remove nger marks.
15. Refer to Firebox Installation, point 3.
16. If ue offset is required, refer to AS/NZS 2918:2001 4.1

1. Unpack the Flue Mounted Shield, detach the three brackets and familiarize yourself with the illus-
trations.
2. Using a sharp knife or razor blade, carefully cut through the plastic lm on the “inside face” where
it meets the outer shield (refer sketch). Cut along the full length of the Flue Mounted Shield on both
side, then peel off and fully remove the plastic lm from the stainless steel inner shield.
3. Peel back and fully remove the plastic lm from the outer shield.
4. Fit the top bracket to the Flue Mounted Shield as illustrated ensuring the rear mid section of the
bracket ts “outside” while the two outer sections of the bracket t “inside”.
5. Fit the appropriate lower bracket to your woodre.
Lower Bracket “5B suitable for all other woodres without an inner rear heatshield. On certain model
woodres without a raised ue spigot it will be necessary to cut off both the lower outer legs from the
bracket “5B” leaving the entral tongue to locate inside the ue outlet only.
Two tabs are provided and if folded back at 90 degrees the bracket and Flue Mounted Shield will
mount lower onto the appliance.
The Flue Mounted Shield then locates into the two notches provided n bracket “5B” as illustrated.
6. Once the Flue Mounted Shield is tted in position onto either of the two lower mounting brackets,
check to ensure a large gap is not present between the top of the woodre and the base of the Flue
Mounted Shield, as this may result in a hot spot on the rear wall directly behind the ue outlet. If your
woodre has a lift off top grill the Flue Mounted Shield should be raised sufciently to enable the top
grill to be removed.
7. Using the pre-punched holes in the two tabs provided on the top bracket as guides, drill into the
ue pipe and secure the top bracket to the ue pipe with two stainless steel rivets (not supplied).
