Installation Instructions
This installation is Top Exit only. Use only a rigid twin
wall flue pipe.
5.5 There are 2 methods of installation into a studwork chimney:
5a. Edge finish Installation.
5b. Installation with a decorative front.
Carefully read the relevant section for the installation
method required.
5a. Edge Finish Installation
5a.1 This method is designed so that non-combustible board can
be taken right up to the edge of the flange of the appliance.
5a.2 Build the studwork chimney breast and enclosures to the
desired size to include the protected platform at the
required height.
Ensure that the minimum 150mm distance to combustible
studwork is maintained.
5a.3 Line the aperture for the appliance with 12mm thick
non-combustible material as shown.
Non-combustible board used to protect the studwork can
line the aperture inside the 50mm clearance distance, see
Diagram 14.
