LUBRICATING INNER PIPE COMPONENTS

The inner flue pipe joints are sealed with an "O" ring seal.
To help ensure a good seal and to ease assembly, a small tub of silicone grease is provided with the Direct Flue
Kit (ESDFK) and the In-Wall Transition Kit (ESKIT03). Use this silicone grease to lubricate the "O" ring on the inner
pipes prior to assembly.
Use ONLY the supplied silicone based "O" ring seal lubricant.
DO NOT use petroleum based lubricants such as petroleum jelly. Petroleum jelly or similar
CAUTION
petroleum based lubricants will cause deterioration of the "O" ring seals.
