ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS - FLUE PIPE INSTALLATIONS FOR GAS FIREPLACES

GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

These assembly instructions describe how to connect a gas fireplace to a balanced flue, i.e. a flue that consists of two pipes, one inside the other (also called a concentric flue). The outer pipe draws fresh air in from outside for combustion, while the exhaust gases are removed through the inner pipe.

These instructions are based on five different flue solutions for a gas fireplace. The five solutions are:

• Flue system using an existing chimney

• Flue system through a roof

• Flue system through a wall

• Flue system up along wall

• Flue system through a snorkel terminal

There are a great many variations of these five solutions.

The solutions are divided into two types – assembly instructions using US pipe and assembly instructions using USD pipe.

US pipe is our “general” pipe, which is especially used for solutions where the flue pipes are not visible. They are assembled using pipe clamps and are available in black and stainless steel.

USD pipe (also called “design pipe”), is often used for solutions where the flue pipes are visible. The pipes are pushed in against each other and have almost invisible joints. The pipes are available in different RAIS colours and a smooth pipe clamp is also available.

The instructions show the main principle of the flue solution using a complete drawing, followed by the individual details with an explanation of how the individual sections are assembled.

DIMENSIONS AND APPROVED LABELS

The flue pipes are available in two different dimensions: Ø100/150 (product numbers end in 10) and Ø130/200 (product numbers end 13).

RAIS/ATTIKA recommends that the fireplace is fitted with the following flue make: OnTop Metaloterm USD or OnTop Metaloterm US. Other approved flue system manufacturers are: Jeremias, Muelink & Grol and Poujoulat PGI.

These user instructions are based on Metaloterm’s flue pipe, which can be used directly in the gas fireplace without a start section.

BALANCED FLUE SYSTEM USING AN EXISTING CHIMNEY (RENOVATION DRAWING)

US PIPE

In this section, you will learn how to install a balanced flue system through an existing chimney using US pipe. The examples are shown with pipe dimension Ø100/150 – the pipes are also available in dimension Ø130/200 (product numbers end in 13). NB: When using pipe dimension Ø130/200, the clearing must be at least Ø200.
