Minimum Flue Height
The top of the flue system should be at
least 600mm above the highest point
of the roof ridgeline, if the point of
intersection of the flue system and the
roofline is less than 3 metres from the
ridgeline horizontally.
If the point of intersection of the flue
system and the roofline is greater than
3 metres horizontally, the top of the
flue system shall be at least 1 metre
above the point of intersection with the
roofline. (refer FIG 3)
These are considered to be minimum dimensions, and depending on local conditions,
taller flue system heights may be required for satisfactory performance.
Flue Installation Detail
Your Woodsman appliance should be installed with a HeatSaver Flue System.
A HeatSaver Flue System is available from all authorised Woodsman dealers throughout
New Zealand.
The HeatSaver Flue System contains a complete installation drawing and correct
clearances from the ceiling level up. Minimum clearances from the appliance to nearby
combustible surfaces are given in FIGS 1 & 2.
Use of a flue system other than a genuine HeatSaver Flue System may affect the safety
of the installation, and may affect your Woodsman 10 year warranty.
Insist on a genuine HeatSaver Flue System.
