    installation Framing Dimensions NOTE: Framing may be constructed of combustible material (ie. 51x102mm) and does not require steel studs. Two (2) optional steel stud kits may also be purchased. These kits may be used in place of the conventional wood framing as shown below. It comes as a compact kit (flush to the appliance on all sides)or an extended kit. The extended kit protrudes beyond each side of the appliance as shown on the front cover of this manual. There is also an optional hearth kit which may be purchased as shown on the front cover of this manual. These kits are highly recommended as it was designed specifically for the product to facilitate ease of installation. See instructions in this manual for details.

  • Page 9: Flueing Introduction

    installation Flueing Introduction The ACB40E uses the "balanced flue" technology Co-Axial system. The inner liner flues products of combustion to the outside while the outer liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing warm room air up the chimney. Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance. The gas appliance and flue system must be flueed directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct flue gas appliance must use it's own separate flue system. Common flue systems are prohibited. Flueing Arrangement for Horizontal Terminations The diagram shows all allowable combinations of vertical runs with horizontal terminations, using one 90 (two 45 elbows equal one 90 elbow). Note: Must use optional rigid pipe adapter (Part# 510-994) when using Rigid Pipe Flueing Systems. (Metres) 1429mm "THIS UNIT MUST ALWAYS TERMINATE / FLUE DIRECTLY TO THE OUTDOORS." Flue RESTRICTOR SETTING: Flue restrictor factory set at Set 0. Refer to the "Flue Restrictor Position" section for details on how to change the flue restrictor from the factory setting of Set 0 to Set 2 if required.

  • Page 11: Horizontal Terminations

    installation Horizontal Terminations Rigid Pipe 102mm x 175mm The minimum components required for a basic horizontal termination are: 1 Horizontal Termination Cap 1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor (510-994) Horizontal 1 Wall Thimble Termination Cap 1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness (see chart) Vinyl Siding Wall thickness is measured from the back standoffs to the inside mounting surface of termination cap. For siding other than vinyl Standoff (Optional) furring strips may be used, instead of the vinyl siding standoff, to create a level surface to mount the flue terminal. The Terminal must not be recessed into siding. Measure the wall thickness including furring strips.
