9.1. Installation in an existing chimney shaft<br />
Before starting any installation work, ensure that all<br />
included items are present, plus any additional pieces<br />
needed to complete the job.<br />
The chimney must be thoroughly cleaned before<br />
installing the flue gas system. It is recommended<br />
to use a professional chimney sweep.<br />
If the chimney cannot be sufficiently cleaned, and<br />
dust generation is anticipated or residue of oil or<br />
solid fuel fired appliances remains, the DO or<br />
HTK systems should be used instead.<br />

A stainless steel chimney termination is available for<br />
installations with multi-flue chimneys and a risk of ambers<br />
from wood stoves or similar appliances reaching the top<br />
of the chimney. For details see page 24.<br />
If the chimney is not a straight run, verify that the bend is<br />
accessible for the installation of elbows. If it is<br />
inaccessible, use the UB Flex liner instead of rigid pipe.<br />
Determine the position of the chimney penetration in the<br />
boiler room. Position the hole into the chimney such that<br />
the vent pipe to the boiler adapter runs at a 5/8” pitch per<br />
foot (55mm per meter) to allow condensate to drain into<br />
the boiler reliably. The size of the opening must be<br />
sufficient to install the support rail as shown in Fig. 10.<br />
Drill a 3/8” (10 mm) hole in the rear wall of the chimney at<br />
1-3/8” (35 mm) above the bottom of the chimney<br />
penetration (Fig. 10). Shorten support rail (Fig. 10, Item<br />
1) if necessary and insert the rod into the hole. Lay the<br />
near end onto the bottom of the penetration and ensure it<br />
is level and rigid. After the chimney pipes have been<br />
installed and connections made, it will be mortared in<br />
place.<br />
Place load bearing elbow (Fig. 10, Item 2) in the middle<br />
of the support rail (Item 1) with its guide engaging with<br />
the rail.<br />
Use a rope to determine the exact length between the<br />
gasket of the load bearing elbow and the top of the<br />
chimney.<br />
Proceed to page 18 if you are using rigid pipe, or page 21<br />
for flexible liner UB flex.<br />
