Step 1.
Check the installation instructions for required 25 mm
clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or
other nearby combustible surfaces. (See Figure 4.14).
Check the instructions for maximum vertical rise of the
flueing system, and any maximum horizontal offset limi-
tations. All offsets must fall within the set parameters of
the flue charts (Figure 4.2) located on pages 11-15.
Note: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 11.8 m, Figure 4.2.

et the gas stove in its desired location. Drop a plumb
bob down from the ceiling to the position of the gas
stove flue exit, and mark the location where the flue will
penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next,
drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously
drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the flue will
penetrate the roof. Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters,
or other framing will obstruct the flueing system. You may
wish to relocate the gas stove, or to offset, as shown in
Figure 4.21 to avoid cutting load bearing members.
