*

It is strongly recommended that a
certified/qualified installer perform the
installation.

*

You may need to get council approval prior
to installation.

*

You should also check with your insurer for
any requirements they may have.

Flue Installation

For detailed instructions regarding flue
installation, please refer to the instructions that

come with your flue kit.
The correct flue system is critical to the

performance of your wood heater. It must
either be tested with the heater or be a default

flue kit. We recommend you use a Maxiheat
Default Flue Kit.
The flue must be sealed where it enters the

heater at the flue spigot.

CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR
FLUE-SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM

DIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODIFYING

CONSULTED IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.

Flue Height Requirements

Your flue must extend the required height

above your roof to promote sufficient draught.
If the flue is not high enough, the heater will not

“draw” properly causing smoke to spill back
into the room.
The following conditions should be observed:

*

The minimum height of the active flue must

be 4.6m in length measured from the top of
the hearth to the flue termination point.

*

If the flue terminates within 3 m from the

highest point of the roof, then the flue must
be a minimum of 0.6 m above the highest

point.

*

If the flue terminates further than 3 m from

the highest point of the roof, then the flue
must be a minimum of 1 m above roof
penetration.

The installer must ensure that the heater and

flue are correctly and safely installed in
accordance with AS/NZS 2918.
There are other variables that can affect

draught (eg trees or tall buildings nearby). If
you have the correct flue height and still have
problems, consult your dealer.
