8 Installing Flue Pipe

Figure 8.1 Adding Flue Components

Install Support Brackets

For Horizontal Runs - The ﬂ ue 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 ﬂ ue pipe.

• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.

For Vertical Runs - The ﬂ ue system must be supported

every 2.4 meters above the appliance ﬂ ue outlet by wall

brackets. To install support brackets for vertical runs:

• Attach wall brackets to the ﬂ ue pipe and secure the wall

bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.

Attach the First Flue Component to Starting Collars

To attach the ﬁ rst ﬂ ue 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 ﬂ ue pipe is now locked together.

• Slide the ceramic rope ring over the ﬁ rst ﬂ ue section and

place it ﬂ ush to the appliance. This will prevent cold air

inﬁ ltration. High temp caulk may be used to hold the part

in place. Continue to add ﬂ ue components.

Continue Adding Flue Components

• Continue adding flue components, locking each

succeeding component into place.

• Ensure that each succeeding ﬂ ue component is securely

ﬁ tted 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.

Fire Risk

Exhaust Fumes Risk

Impaired Performance of Appliance

• Ensure ﬂ ue components are locked together correctly.

• Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

Fire Risk.

Explosion Risk.

Combustion Fume Risk.

Use ﬂ ue run supports per installation instructions.

Connect ﬂ ue sections per installation instructions.

• Maintain all clearances to combustibles.

• Do NOT allow �� ue to sag below connection point

to appliance.

Improper support may allow ﬂ ue to sag or separate.
