Factory Built Insulated Flue Kits; Masonry Flue Systems - Enerzone Destination 1.6 Installation And Operation Manual

To be suitable, a factory built Insulated Flue Kit
must comply with AS/NZS 2918 Appendix F or
AS/NZS 2918 Appendix B.

8.2.1 FACTORY BUILT INSULATED FLUE KITS

Factory built flue kits are normally sold as a
complete system, (not just the flue pipe), with
all the components needed to install a heater
into a normal 2.4 metre (8 foot) timber stud
wall, low pitched roof home. Each flue kit
should contain a set of installation instructions
covering all the components supplied in the kit.
Incorrect installation of these kits is a major
source of post installation problems and no
short cuts should be taken. All components
supplied in the kit are required and should be
used to ensure the installation is correct and
safe. It is essential the flue pipe is
manufactured from stainless steel that meet
the specifications stated in AS/NZS 2918, as
stainless steel can be damaged by excessive
stress in the lock forming process or by faulty
machinery.

8.2.2 MASONRY FLUE SYSTEMS

The wood fire may also be connected to
a masonry flue system, provided the flue
system complies with AS/NZS 2918 or
with the construction rules found in the
building code enforced locally. The flue
system must have either a clay liner or a
suitably listed stainless steel liner. If the
masonry flue system has a square or
rectangular liner that is larger in cross
sectional area than a round 150 mm
flue, it should be relined with a suitably
listed 150 mm stainless steel liner. Do
not downsize the flue to less than 150
mm unless the flue system is straight
and exceeds 8 m in height. When
passing through a combustible wall, the
use of an insulated listed thimble is
required.
