Page 15: C5 Twist Locking Procedure
Installing Converter Box The AF700 only comes with a spigot plate suited for flexi flue, because of this, a converter box is required to convert a 300mm, 4” and 3” flexi flue length to Simpsons Duravent 4” x 6” direct vent flueing. - Page 16 Locate the 30cms long piece of fibreglass tape in the accessory pack provided with the AF700 fire. Remove the tape backing and adhere it to the Exhaust spigot of the Co-axial transition box spigot approximately 10mm off the face of the planer surface of the transition box.
- Page 17 Place the band clamp over the exhaust flexi flue. Position the band so that it aligns with the fibreglass tape underneath (approximately 15mm off the planar surface of the transition box). Tighten the band clamp. ONLY TIGHTEN ENOUGH TO JUST HOLD AND PREVENT THE FLEXI FLUE FROM COMING OFF THE SPIGOT IF PULLED ON.
