Flueing - Horizontal Installations - Masport FireGenie PG33-NG Owners & Installation Manual

INSTALLATION
Install the flue system according to the manu-
facturer's instructions included with the com-
ponents.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in
the way when the flueing system is at-
tached. If this is the case, you may want to
adjust the location of the unit. 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.
2) Direct Flue pipe and fittings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to con-
nect the flueing system to the appliance flue
outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor is an
available option that must be used in con-
junction with the Simpson Dura-Flue Direct
Flue GS system.
3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer
section of the adapter and a bead of Stove
Mate on the inner collar. Slip the adapter
over the existing inner and outer flue collar
and fasten to the outer collar only with the
3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier). Level the fireplace and
fasten it to the framing using nails or screws
through the nailing strips.
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
Note:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,
located on the female ends of pipes and
fittings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and fittings, by orienting the four pipe
indentations so they match and slide in
to the four entry slots on the male ends,
Dia. 1. Push the pipe sections complete-
ly together, then twist-lock one section
clockwise approximately one-quarter
turn, until the two sections are fully
locked. The female locking lugs will not
be visible from the outside, on the Black
Pipe or fittings. They may be located by
examining the inside of the female ends.

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner
pipe and high temperature sili-
cone sealant to outer pipe on eve-
ry twist-lock joint.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS
b) Horizontal runs of flue must be sup-
ported every three feet. Wall straps are
available for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 10" (254mm) x 10"
(254mm) square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the center-
line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the
10 inch square hole in the exterior wall
where the flue will be terminated. If the wall
being penetrated is constructed of non-
combustible material, i.e. masonry block or
concrete, a 7"(178mm) diameter (7-1/
2"(191mm) dia. for flex) hole is acceptable.
Note:
a) The horizontal run of flue must be level,
or have a 1/4" (6.3mm) rise for every 1
foot (0.3m) of run towards the termina-
tion. Never allow the flue to run down-
ward. This could cause high tempera-
tures and may present the possibility of
a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal flue ter-
mination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes,
and must not be blocked or obstructed.
For External Flue Terminal Locations,
see diagram on page 10.
c) Snorkel Terminations:
For installations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the building, see
Diagram 2. Follow the same installation
procedures as used for standard Hor-
izontal Termination.
*As specified in CGA B149 Installation Code.
Local codes or regulations may require differ-
ent clearances.
Below Grade Snorkel Installation
If the Snorkel Termination must be in-
stalled below grade, i.e. basement ap-
plication, proper drainage must be pro-
vided to prevent water from entering
the Snorkel Termination. Refer to Dura-
Flue Installation instructions for details.
Do not attempt to enclose the Snorkel
within the wall, or any other type of
enclosure.
6) The arrow on the flue cap should be
pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2" clear-
ances to combustible materials are main-
tained (Dia. 3). Install the termination cap.
The four wood screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding stand-
off or furring strips must be used
to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of flue
pipe to the flue termination, slide the Wall
Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the flue pipe.
8) Slide the appliance and flue assembly to-
wards the wall carefully inserting the flue
pipe into the flue cap assembly. It is impor-
tant that the flue pipe extends into the flue
cap sufficient distance so as to result in a
minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4" (32mm).
Secure the connection between the flue
pipe and the flue cap 3 sheet metal screws.
9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10"
(254mm) square and attach with wood
screws (Diagram 4).
