3.Cutappropriateholesthroughtheceilingandroofmaterialandinstalltheflueinaccordancewiththe
instructionsaccompanyingit,takingcaretoprovideanysafetyclearancesspecifiedintheinstructions
(usually25mmbetweentheflueshieldandanynearbycombustiblematerial).Theinstallationmustmeet
therequirementsofAS5601(AG601)orNZS5261asappropriate.Thetopofthefluemustbeabove
the roof, at least 500mm clear of any part of the roof and at least 1 metre horizontally from any
neighbouringstructure.Allfluesectionsmustbesecurelycoupledtoeachother.
4.Flashtheflueatthepointofexitthroughtheroof,topreventwaterentry,andfitthefluecowl.
Itistheresponsibilityoftheinstallertoensurethatthefluesystemisoperatingcorrectly.See
‘TESTFIRING’below.

NewZealandregulationsrequirethatfluedgasheatersbesecuredto preventshiftingintheevent ofan
earthquake.Thisisbestdonebyfasteningtheheatertothefloorrightthroughthefloorprotectorifoneis
fitted.Fastenwithtwoscrewsnotlessthan12gaugeortheequivalentincoachscrewsortogglefasteners.
Anchor the appliance through the holes in the seismic restraint bracket or in the two angle brackets
supplied.Theanglebracketsattachateachsideofthepedestal.Iftheseismicrestraintbracketisused,it
can be fastened to the rear of the pedestal either before or after fitting the anchor screws. The small
centrelineholeinthebracketwillhelpinpre-positioningit.
