Installation Instructions – Motorhome or Boat – Cabin

However fit where you want it!
For dwellings a plumber is the best man to install but we can supply the flue kit if given drawing of roof
detail.
Dwelling Flue must comply with AS NZS 2918:2000

2.
Once you have settled on the fire position and are confident the 150mm hole for the sleeve will be clear
of roof beams and wiring, and are confident you can reach the bolts when they protrude through the
floor( to get the nuts etc on) , mark the 4 holes for the fire.
3.
Drill the 4 holes and use M10 high tensile bolts, add large square washers or steel plate on the bottom
