1. Locate Wood Fire in its proposed position and mark a point on the ceiling that is directly above the centre of the Wood Fire’s flue spigot. Check that the Wood Fire’s location allows the OUTER CASING to clear all structural roof timbers.
2. Cut a 275mm square hole in ceiling. Directly above a cute hole in roof to accommodate OUTER CASING.
3. Fit timber nogs around ceiling. i.e. Nogs form a 275mm square aperture that allows air to circulate freely over the OUTER CASING surface.

4. Position the OUTER CASING so that it is flush with the underneath of the ceiling and protrudes through the roof and required height. Note that AS/NZS 2918:2001 4.9.1(a) states, “the FLUE PIPE shall extend not less than 4.6m above the top of the floor protector”. Refer to diagram B.

• lf the FLUE PIPE is within 3 metres of the ridge, the FLUE PIPE must protrude at least 600mm above the ridge of the roof.
• If the distance from the ridge is more than 3 metres, the FLUE PIPE must protrude at least 1000mm above roof Penetration.
• The FLUE PIPE must be more than 3 metres from any nearby structure. (Refer to Diagram C)

Additional OUTER CASING and INNER CASING may have to be added to ensure the following:

• The correct minimum roof penetration height.

• Sufficient overall height to encase the FLUE PIPE which must extend a minimum of 4.6 metres from the floor protector. Refer to diagram B.

Note that the INNER CASING should extend 200mm above roof penetration.

NB: Do not secure the OUTER CASING SLIP EXTENSION onto the OUTER CASING, as final adjustment will be required when fitting cowl assembly. See paragraph 11.

5. Drill holes in ceiling plate for the fixing screws. Place CEILING PLATES over Wood Fire flue spigot, ensuring the folded edges are facing the ceiling.

6. Position bottom length of FLUE PIPE (crimped end downwards) into Wood Fire flue spigot.

Refer to the supplier of the Wood Fire and use sealant if recommended.

7. Assemble FLUE PIPES together ensuring seams are straight, offsetting the seams will ensure a neat fit. FLUE PIPES must be assembled with crimped ends down (towards Wood Fire). Secure each joint with a minimum of 3 Monel steel rivets equally spaced around the joint. If using HI-THERM FLUE PIPE the protective wrapping should be left on the FLUE PIPE during installation.

8. From the roof lower FLUE PIPE through OUTER CASING into the bottom FLUE PIPE securing with three Monel rivets.

9. Check that the FLUE PIPE SPACING BRACKETS inside the INNER CASING are correctly positioned and then from the roof slide the INNER CASING into the OUTER CASING until the brackets rest on to the internal swage ring on the OUTER CASING, this will ensure the INNER CASING is correct 12mm above ceiling level.

Check the INNER CASING when correctly positioned extends a minimum of 200mm above the roof penetration.

10. Before securing the OUTER CASING SLIP EXTENSION to the OUTER CASING with 3 rivets, ensure the FLUE PIPE extends above the top of the OUTER CASING SLIP EXTENSION 170mm. Adjust SLIP EXTENSION to obtain this measurement.

11. Fit TOP SPACER BRACKET to the FLUE PIPE making sure the lugs fit snugly inside OUTER CASING SLIP EXTENSION. Make sure TOP SPACER BRACKET fits hard down onto OUTER CASING SLIP EXTENSION.

12. Fit CASING COVER over the FLUE PIPE and push down firmly onto TOP SPACER BRACKET.

13. Fit COWL but do not secure, as removal for flue cleaning will be necessary. Deform or ovalise the stub of the COWL to ensure it is a tight friction fit.

14. Fasten CEILING PLATE to ceiling using screws and ceramic spacers provided. Ensure an even air gap around FLUE PIPE when fixing. Remove protective plastic from CEILING PLATE. N.B 12mm air gap between ceiling plate and ceiling must be maintained.

15. Ensure that the correct size FLUE PIPE SHIELD, FLUE PIPE DEFLECTOR CAP and CEILING PLATE are fitted.

Leave all instructions with the owner.

Stainless Steel pipe should be wiped clean using a soft cloth and methylated spirits to remove finger marks and oils used to manufacture the flue pipe. Hi-Therm pipe can be touched up using only STOVE BRIGHT aerosol paint.

• The Wood Fire must be operated in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Clean air guidelines and regulations must be observed.
• HI-THERM Flue Pipe must be swept by mechanical means only. (We recommend mixed head or polypropylene brushes). Under NO circumstances should chemical flue cleaners, (soot destroyers) or steel chimney brushes be used.
• HI-THERM Flue Pipe should not be used on a Wood Fire burning treated or wet (unseasoned) wood. Only use newspaper when lighting the fire; never burn colour printed brochures or junk mail.
• HI-THERM Flue Pipe must be secured together with a minimum of 3 Monel Steel Rivets, equally spaced around the joint.
• The paint finish appearance may change, depending on heater operation and is designed to be a MAINTAINABLE finish. To maintain paint finish or touch up use only genuine STOVE BRIGHT aerosol. (Refer to label on packaging.)
• HI-THERM Flue Pipe must be installed in accordance with SFP installation instructions, using flue componentry supplied by SFP. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure no water leaks into the Hi-Therm Flue System.
• The Stainless Steel Flue Pipe use in "Hi-Therm Stainless Steel Flue Pipe" is warranted for five years, providing the above conditions are met.
• FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE CONDITIONS MAY NEGATE WARRANTIES
