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 fire-
place. 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 pre-planned flue system
configuration:
• Ensure that each succeeding flue component is securely fitted and locked into the
preceding 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.
