Installation Information - Flueing
Masonry installations and flexiliner flue systems
Check dimensions of opening
Ensure opening is within range provided and if necessary bring them
to the required dimensions. Also check chimney height as inadequate
height can affect product performance. Some installations may require
the chimney height to be extended to reduce down drafts.
Check flueway
Ensure there are no obstructions. Provide a firm, flat and sealed base
otherwise noise and vibration may result. Sealed means no holes or
openings in the fireplace.
Install a Rinnai flexiliner flue system
Ensure a minimum vertical rise of 1.2 m before any change of
direction. Avoid sharp bends as this will restrict the chimney's ability to
draw.
Installation without a flexiliner is permissible as long as the chimney
has been checked for soundness and ability to achieve a good draw.
Some criteria for checking soundness:
•
All loose/broken bricks must be replaced or repaired ensuring the
chimney is of sound construction and does not leak
•
Chimney must be swept clean and be free from soot and creosote
that may have built up if previously used for a solid fuel fire
•
Any damper plate must be fixed in the open position or removed
•
Any underfloor air supply to the fireplace must be completely
sealed off to prevent secondary air draw
•
An approved chimney cap and cowl must be installed
