UNIT INSTALLATION WITH
VERTICAL TERMINATION
(Rigid Systems)
Note: A clearance of 50mm must be
maintained. We recommend framing
a 279mm x 279mm (inside dimensions)
hole to give structural rigidity for
mounting the termination.
1. Do not pack air spaces with insulation.
Check "Flueing Arrangement - Ver tical
Termination" section for the maximum
vertical rise of the flueing system and the
maximum horizontal offset limitations.
2. Set the gas appliance in
its desired location. Drop a
plumb bob down from the
ceiling to the position of the
appliance flue exit, and mark
the location where the flue will
penetrate the ceiling. Drill a
small hole at his point. Next,
drop a plumb bob from the
roof to the hole previously
drilled in the ceiling, and mark
the spot where the flue will
penetrate the roof. Determine
if ceiling joists, roof rafters or
other framing will obstruct the
flueing system. You may wish
to relocate the appliance or to
offset, as shown in Diagram 2 to avoid cutting
load bearing members.

3. Cut a hole large enough to allow for proper
clearances and or large enough for heat to
escape cavity. .
4. Assemble the desired
and elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked position
and sealed.

5. Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drilled
hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The hole should
be of sufficient size to meet the minimum requirements
for clearance to combustibles of 50mm.
6. Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the roof space
to avoid obstructions, it is important to
support the flue pipe every 0.9 meter, to
Diagram 1
avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and
possible separation. Metal Wall straps can
be used (Diagram 2). Do not combine flueing
components from other manufacturers.
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofline due
to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue to add
pipe sections through the flashing until the height of
the flue cap meets the minimum height requirements
specified in local codes. Note that for steep roof
pitches, the vertical height must be increased.

As Per AS/NZS 5601
with each approved flueing system,
"Mill-Pac" sealant to every inner pipe
connection. Failure to do so may result
in drafting or performance issues not
covered under warranty.

Flue Height
Diagram 5
A poor draft, or down drafting can result from
high wind conditions near big trees or adjoining
roof lines, in these cases, increasing the flue
height may solve the problem. Maximum
height is 6.7 meters.
7. Penetrate roof and secure flashing (supplied
by installer)
8. Install the vertical termination cap .
Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which
the flue passes through must be
enclosed.
