INSTALLATION
1) Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the
gas (preferably on the right side of the unit)
and the electrical (Junction block is on the
left side) on the left. Locate the centerline
of the termination and mark wall according-
ly. Cut a 10"(254mm) hole in the wall (inside
dimension).
Note: To make the installation more aes-
thetically pleasing, we recom-
mend framing out a square to
mount the terminal to.
Note: A 2-1/2" (64mm) horizontal top and
1-1/2" (38mm) horizontal sides &
bottom clearance around the liner
must be maintained except that
only a 1" (25mm) clearance is need-
ed at the termination end. We rec-
ommend framing a 10"(254mm) x
10"(254mm) (inside dimensions)
hole to give structural rigidity for
mounting the termination.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, furring strips must
be used to ensure that the termi-
nation is not recessed into the
siding.
2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the
framing using nails or screws through the
nailing strips.
3) Assemble the flue assembly by applying Mill
Pac to the 4"(100mm) inner collar of the
termination and slipping the 4"(100mm) liner
over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with
the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make
this easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temper-
ature silicone to the 6-7/8"(175mm) flex
pipe and slip it over the 6-7/8" outer collar
of the flue terminal at least 1-3/8"(35mm)
and fasten with the 3 screws.
4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble
and securely fasten the one with the tabs
to the outside wall making sure that the tabs
are on top and bottom. Fasten the other
thimble half to the inside wall. The thimble
halves slip inside each other and can be
adjusted for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 walls. The liners
must slip over the collars a minimum
of 1-3/8".

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

for Masport Direct Flue System (Flex)
*If this is an outside corner, the minimum distance between the flue and the outside
corner is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination cap or 12" (30cm) with Dura-Flue
termination cap. See "F" on the diagram on page 10.
Minimum and Maximum Flue Clearances
5) Slip the assembled liner and termination
assembly through the thimble making sure
the termination cap faces up (there are
markings on the cap that show which way
is up). This will position the termination cap
with proper down slope for draining water.
Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4
supplied screws.
6) Pull the centre 4"(100mm) liner and outer 6-
7/8"(175mm) liner out enough to slip over the
flue collars of the fireplace.
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar
and slip the 4"(100mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.
8) Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.

9) Apply a bead of silicone between the
thimble and termination and around the
outer edge of the terminal at the wall in
order to keep the water out.
IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination
hood where excessive snow or ice build-
up may occur. Be sure to check flue
termination area after snow falls, and
clear to prevent accidental blockage of
flueing system. When using snow blow-
ers, make sure snow is not directed
towards flue termination area.
