Installing Flue Components
1.Attaching the First Flue Component to the Starting Collars: A. On the REAR of the heater
•To attach the first flue component to the starting collars on the rear of the heater make sure that the heater gasket supplied with the heater seals between the first flue component and the outer heater wrap.
•The first 90° elbow installed in the flue system of a rear flueing heater MUST BE in a vertical position.
B. On the TOP of the heater
To attach the first flue component to the starting collars on the top of the heater:
•Slide the male end of the inner flue of the pipe section into the inner collar on the heater. At the same time, insert the outer flue into the outer collar on the heater. Push the flue section into
the appliance collar until all the lances (see Figure 16) have snapped in place. Tug slightly on the flue to con- firm that it has completely locked into place.
•Slide the ceramic fiber pad over the first flue section and place it flush to the fireplace. Continue to add vent components.
Figure 16.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE HEATER GASKET SUPPLIED WITH THE HEATER SEALS BETWEEN THE FIRST FLUE COMPONENT AND THE OUTER HEATER WRAP.
C. Continue Adding Flue Components
To continue adding flue components in accordance with the
•Ensure that each succeeding flue component is securely fitted and locked into the pre- ceding component in the flue system. NOTE: Make sure that seams are NOT aligned to prevent unintentional disconnection.
•For elbows that are changing the flue direction, two screws minimum should be put in the outer flue at the joint to prevent the elbow from rotating.
2. Install Support Brackets
For Horizontal Runs - The flue system must be supported every five (5) feet (152.4 cm) of horizontal run by a horizontal pipe support.
To install support brackets for horizontal runs:
•Place the pipe supports around the flue pipe.
•Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.
