For connecting into a standard installation using Scandia Default
Flue Kits:
The following drawing is meant as a guide only. Your wood heater
must
be installed by a
qualified person whose work conforms with local council regulations, Australian/New Zealand
standards (AS/NZS 2918:2001) & manufacturers recommendations.
1. Locate wood fire in its proposed position according to manufacturers recommendations.
2. Use a plumb bob to mark the ceiling in line with the centre of the flue collar.
3. Check that the outer casing will clear all combustible materials by 25mm. Determine
positions of noggins to avoid cutting, otherwise headers must be installed for strength.
4. Cut a 305mm diameter hole in the ceiling. Directly above cut a hole in the roof to
accommodate outer casing.
5. Fix the angle brackets to the joists so that the drop box (first length of located casing) is
located in the centre of the hole.
