Figure 8.1 Adding Flue Components

 

Attach the First Flue Component to Starting Collars

To attach the first flue component to the starting collars of the appliance:

•Lock the flue components into place by sliding the concentric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced interior beads into the appliance collar or previously installed component end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.

•When the internal beads of each outer pipe line up, rotate the pipe section clockwise about one-quarter (1/4) turn (see Figure 8.1). The flue pipe is now locked together.

•Slide the ceramic rope ring over the first flue section and place it flush to the appliance. This will prevent cold air infiltration. High temp caulk may be used to hold the part in place. Continue to add flue components.

Continue Adding Flue Components

•Continue adding flue components, locking each succeeding component into place.

•Ensure that each succeeding flue component is securely fitted and locked into the preceding component.

•90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an elbow does not end up in a locked position with the preceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2) sheet metal screws.

Install Support Brackets

For Horizontal Runs - The flue system must be supported every 1.5 meters 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.

For Vertical Runs - The flue system must be supported every 2.4 meters above the appliance flue outlet by wall brackets. To install support brackets for vertical runs:

•Attach wall brackets to the flue pipe and secure the wall bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.

WARNING

Fire Risk. Explosion Risk. Combustion Fume Risk.

Use flue run supports per installation instructions. Connect flue sections per installation instructions.

•Maintain all clearances to combustibles.

•Do NOT allow flue to sag below connection point to appliance.

Improper support may allow flue to sag or separate.
