4.2.5 MAINTENANCE OF DURAVENT FLUE PIPE SYSTEM
1. An annual inspection is required to maintain warranty of your DuraVent B Vent system. You will need to
inspect the cap, ue pipe, connector pipe, and the connection to the appliance.
2. Verify that the sealant around the ashing and storm collar is intact. Reseal as needed. Remove the cap. Hold
Cap by the collar only, unlock by twisting anticlockwise, and then pull up. Grasping the cap by the outer edge
or top can damage it.
3. Inspect the cap for any physical damage or damage from corrosion. Look for any foreign material inside the
cap or vent. e.g. bird’s nest, leaves, etc.).
4. Shine a light down inside the ue pipe. Look for any evidence of damage, corrosion or excessive
condensation. Also, look for any disconnected sections of the ue pipe or connector pipe. Refer to the
installation instructions to reconnect pipe sections. If pipe sections are damaged or corroded, replace
immediately!
5. Replace the cap by grasping it (by the collar only) and sliding it onto the pipe section and twist-locking
(clockwise).
6. Inspect the appliance connector and make sure that the vent is securely connected to the appliance.
7. Damaged or corroded parts should be replaced immediately. Failure to do so can lead to an extremely
hazardous situation.
4.3 PROFESSIONAL MAINTENANCE
4.3.1 RINSING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Recommended frequency: at least every 500 uses.
1. The appliance will have to be disconnected from the ue pipe, xed gas pipe, power source and docking
station. To improve the access you may remove the ventilation adaptor before proceeding with the cleaning.
2. Clean the exhaust pipe with a exible brush. Use your nger to check that the exhaust pipe is clean.
3. Remove the ash container and clean out the debris from the exhaust pipe (appliance ue terminal).
4. Use a vacuum cleaner to extract the remaining debris in the exhaust pipe and catalytic converter
5. Place the toilet where it is OK to spill water, e.g. where there is a suitable drain, outside or in a bath. Use the
specially designed Cinderella funnel, or a funnel that ts in the exhaust pipe. Slightly tilt the toilet forward,
and pour 2–3 L of hot water through the exhaust pipe and catalyst. The excess water should be clean at the
end of the rinsing process. If necessary, use more water to properly clean the system.
6. Repeat step 1 4-5 times until the water is clean and no crystals or other obstructions can be spotted when
inspecting the catalyst (see section 4.2.3)
7. Reconnect the appliance to the ue pipe, docking station, gas and power supply.
8. Install the ash container and front cover.
9. Open and close the lid to simulate the use of the appliance. With the lid closed push the button to start the
incineration. This will dry out the system and prepare the toilet for reuse.
CAUTION!
Professional maintenance will require the toilet to be disconnected from the ue pipe. In
some areas, only professional qualied gas personnel may
be permitted to do this. It is therefore important to ensure that all maintenance is
performed in accordance with all state, municipal and local codes, and AS/NZS 5601.1.
NOTE!
Before disconnecting the appliance and rinsing the system with hot water, inspect the
catalytic converter and perform steam cleaning in accordance with section 4.2.2. If the
catalytic converter is still clogged, or odour is still noticeable when incinerating, perform
the system rinsing in accordance with section 4.3.1
