  • Page 19: C7 Running The Flue

    Notes: 1) Should the flue not extend past the apex of the roof, the bottom opening of the flue should extend at least 200mm from the roof (or 300mm in regions with heavy snow). 2) The installation of a flue into a carport is not recommended. 3) The flue terminal will get very hot when in use.
  • Page 20 Run the powerflue electrical cable from the cavity where the appliance will be installed to the hole in the outside wall. Ensure it is not draped over, or in contact with, the outer shell of the appliance or the flues. The cable must be kept clear from any other possible heat sources, sharp edges, or moisture. Fix it appropriately and allow enough cable to be able to pull both the appliance and the powerflue terminal out from their installed positions.

  • Page 21: Installing The Electricity And Gas To The Appliance

    Installing the Electricity and Gas to the Appliance Power Supply While the cavity is being created, consideration must be given to the location of an appropriate power supply. An earthed 230/240 volt mains power connection (typically a standard 3 pin outlet) must be available within 1m of the bottom right of the appliance.
