From the positioned firebox the flue can be assembled. The flue is in 1200mm lengths with both inner and outer
flue. Each flue length has a crimped end to join tightly to the next length. Each joint must be securely fixed by
at least three stainless steel rivets. The firebox has a spigot for the flue to locate over. The flue lengths should be
installed with the crimped end facing up.
The Firebox and flue should be secured by fixing with seismic strapping and/or brackets to framing. Flue bends are
available from Real Fires if the flue needs to be oset. Appropriate weatherproof roof flashing/ chimney capping
must be used to comply with NZS 5261.
Once the installation of the firebox and flue is complete, the building work around the fireplace can continue. A
timber cross frame is usually fixed above the firebox for gib fixing. This must be at least 25mm from the firebox.
The firebox will have two electrical leads from the rear of the firebox. All fireboxes are pre wired for the electrical
options, Fan and Electric On/O.
The leads are approximately 1.2m long and are intended to be connected by an electrician to a switch positioned
facing the room preferably on the left hand side of the fireplace cavity. See installation drawing
(Please ensure the electrical leads are not left behind the firebox and overlooked. It is dicult to gain access once
the giboard is fixed)
If a timber surround is to be fitted, ensure it complies with Real Fires minimum clearance dimensions.
