WARNING

Fire Hazard

Some objects will catch fire or explode when placed close to heater.

Keep all flammable objects, liquids and vapours the required distance away from the heater.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, injury or property damage.

Flues must be correctly sized for the model. See Page 5, Section 4.1. Flues should be assembled as

on Page 13, Figure 4 and Figure 5 and Page 14,

Figure 6 through Page 14, Figure 9. The joints between the flue and the roof or wall must be properly sealed. If the flue passes through a wall or ceiling of combustible material it must be enclosed by a sleeve of non-combustible material and be separated from the sleeve by at least a 25 mm air gap.

Flues must be adequately supported so that the heater does not bear the weight of the flue.

For straight and offset flue termination See Page 13, Figure 4 and Figure 5.

90° bends and horizontal pipe must not be used in flues except for the immediate connection to horizontally mounted heaters (1 m max). 135°

bends are used to offset the flue as in Figure 5.

If condensation is likely to occur in the flue, then provision should be made for drainage.

Flues up to 200 mm dia. are fitted with Bird Screens, over 200 mm with a Rain Cap.
