5.4.2. Installation - Wall terminal
To install the flue terminal in a wall, do the following:
5.4.2.1. Preparation
1. Check all components for possible damage.
2. Determine where the flue terminal will be
positioned.
5.4.2.2. Installation
1. Create a hole through the wall.
CAUTION! Make sure no debris or dust gets into the air
heater.
2. Carefully insert the flue terminal from the outside.
CAUTION! Do not rotate the cap.
3. Put the flue terminal in a horizontal position. Use a
level.
4. Mark the holes on the wall.
5. Drill the holes.
6. Insert screws to fix the terminal in place.
7. Seal the edges of the flue terminal with kit.
8. Fix the shield on the inside of the wall.
CAUTION! Make sure that the gasket is not damaged.
9. Connect the gasket and the twin-tube connection.
NOTICE Make sure the flue tube and the air inlet tube are
not mixed up. The flue tube should be in the centre of the
flue terminal.
10. Check if all steps have been carried out correctly.
5.4.3. Installation of the flue system parts
This chapter gives the instructions for installing an ALU
FIX flue system.
5.4.3.1. Requirements
The installation must follow these requirements:
• Minimum distance between the flue system and
combustible materials of 40 mm.
• Minimum depth of female sockets of 40 mm.
• Minimum slope of horizontal piping of 50 mm/m
(3°). This allows condensate to flow to the heater.
NOTICE Use brackets that match the flue system.
Different manufacturers use different connection systems
for flue pipes. It is not allowed to combine systems from
different manufacturers.

5.4.3.2. Elements system ALU FIX thick wall
An ALU FIX flue system is created with four elements
(figure 19).
Figure 19 - The elements of a flue system
5.4.3.3. Seals
The connection between the different flue elements must
be made airtight and waterproof with silicon seals.
CAUTION! If the flue elements have been cut, make sure
to clean and chamfer the edges. Sharp edges will damage
the seals.
CAUTION! Do not drill or screw in the flue elements.
CAUTION! Do not try to seal the connections with kit,
foam or tape.
CAUTION! Do not use grease, vaseline or oil to lubricate
the installation.
CAUTION! Only use the lubricant allowed by the
manufacturer to lubricate the connections. A maximum
soap concentration of 1% is allowed.
NOTICE Follow the instructions from the manufacturer if
the connections need to be fixed.
5.4.3.4. Installation
Take note of the following rules and requirements when
installing a flue system:
CAUTION! Do not apply mechanical force on the parts
during installation.
Requirements for horizontal and non-vertical piping:
• Maximum distance between brackets of 1 m.
• On tensile joints; maximum distance between
brackets of 2 m.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• Spread the brackets evenly along the piping.
