The Sideways flue installation can run along the left or right hand side of the internal wall behind the heater.
Most components in a sideways flue installation are located indoors and may be in an
accessible position after installation. To prevent accidental or erroneous dislodgement, the joints
CAUTION between ESDFK and ESPIPE900 components MUST be secured by pop rivet or screw through
the outer Co-Axial pipes and flue pipes are to be clipped to the wall using the stand off clips
supplied or other suitable method.
Steps for creating a Sideways flue installation are as follows:
1
1. Using a drill, remove the pop rivet used to fasten the straight flue pipe connection pipe to the flue transition of
ESDFK and remove but DO NOT discard the straight flue pipe connection.
2. Fit the elbowed flue pipe connection supplied with the Back Cover kit to the flue transition pushing it fully home
and then fasten in place with the grub screw (supplied) using an Allen key. The grub screw terminates in a
groove in the flue transition. When fastened this prevents accidental dislodgement of the pipe connections.
3. Refit the straight flue pipe connection to the end of the elbow until it is fully home and then fasten in place with
a 3mm rivet.
Ensure the straight pipe and elbow are securely fastened to the flue transition by the grub
screw and rivets. Test soundness of the connections by attempting to 'pull apart' the assembled

components. Improper assembly or fastening can result in products of combustion dispersing
into the room being heated which may result in a dangerous condition.
4. Temporarily position the heater in the desired position.
5. Attach ESDFK to the flue outlet pipe from the rear of the heater. Align the flue in an almost horizontal manner
in the desired direction of discharge (either left of right) with a 2° fall towards the flue terminal.
Ensure the flue components are positioned to have a minimum 25mm clearance from any
sensor wires at the rear of the heater.
