FLAT CEILING INSTALLATION
1) Locate the wood re in its proposed position and mark a point on the ceiling that is directly above the centre of the ue
spigot. Check that the location of the wood re allows the OUTER GALV LINER to clear all structural roof timbers.
2) Cut a 250mm square hole in the ceiling. Directly above cut a hole in roof to accommodate OUTER GALV LINER.
3) Fit a timber frame around the ceiling. i.e. frames form a 250mm square aperture that allows air to circulate freely over the
OUTER GALV LINER surface.
4) Position the OUTER GALV LINER so that it is ush with the underneath of the ceiling and protrudes through the roof at
the required height. Note that AS/NZS 2918:2001 4.9 1(a) states,” the FLUE PIPE shall extend no less than 4.6m above
the top of the oor protector”. Refer to diagram A.
a) If the FLUE PIPE is within 3 metres of the ridge, the FLUE PIPE must protrude at least 600mm above the
ridge of the roof.
b) If the distance from the ridge is more than 3 metres, the FLUE PIPE must protrude at least 1000mm above
roof penetration.
c) The FLUE PIPE must be more than 3 metres from any nearby structure. Refer to diagram D.
Additional FLUE PIPE, OUTER GALV LINER and/or INNER GALV LINER may have to be added to ensure the following:
i) The correct minimum roof penetration height.
ii) Sufcient overall height to encase the FLUE PIPE which must extend a minimum of 4.6m from the oor protector.
Refer diagram A.
Note that the 200mm INNER GALV LINER should extend to be the same overall length as the 250mm OUTER LINER
