The installation must comply with local council regulations. We recommend installation by trained NZHHA
qualified installers, who work in accordance with good trade practice.
The appliance should be installed in such a manner that parts are accessible for inspection & maintenance.
A clearance of at least 1 meter must be between the front of the unit and any building structure or substantial
immovable structure.
For Low base (standard), heat sensitive floors must be protected with an approved 46mm Insulated hearth.
The appliance must be seismically restrained (including the hearth), 8mm Masonry anchors are recommended
for concrete floors or 14g High Tensile Wood Techs of appropriate length for wooden floors.
Any appliance shall not be connected to a flue common with an open fireplace.
Duo must be fitted with the following Wet or Dry Damper control advice label as appropriate for model.

INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
600mm above roof ridge
Position the hearth & appliance on the floor. Drop a plumb-line from the ceiling to the center of the
Duo's flue spigot to mark the position where the flue will pass through ceiling.
Cut a 250mm x 250mm Square hole in the ceiling & roof above, & frame timber around 250mm ceiling
hole to support heat shield liners. Frame roof penetration if/as required. 40x40mm metal angles can be
used to support liners at purlin/roofline level (check manufacturers flue install instructions).
All flue joins are sealed at the time of installation using flue cement or a suitable exhaust cement and
fasten together with stainless steel pop-rivets or self-tapping screws (swagged end of the flue at
bottom). Secure the flue to the fire, drill through flue spigot on fire and secure with 2 to 3 s/s screws or
rivets. At this stage the ceiling plate should be fitted over flue & can be lifted up & screwed on.
500mm x 500mm x 15mm ceiling plate must be used.
A 900mm long double skinned shield must be fitted and can be fitted at his point.
Flash the roof to galvanised liner with an appropriate flashing method accepted by local council.
Where the chimney extends more than 1.3m (as per NZBC) above roof penetration, it will require
restraining stays. We recommend 16mm aluminium tubing for stays.
After installation of flue, ensure the unit is level & fixed through the hearth to the floor using seismic
restraints. Use 8mm masonry anchors or high tensile 14-gauge timber techs dependent on floor.

CORNER ORIENTATION
clearances in mm to combustibles
STANDARD ORIENTATION
Standard model requires a
46mm thick insulting hearth
Tropicair advises that hearth
and clearance to combustibles
are absolute minimums.
Where practical these should
be exceeded
Side clearance is measured
from the cook top plate edge
Rear clearance is measured
from the rear of the heat
shielded casing
Corner clearance is measured
from rear corners of the heat
shielded casing
When offsetting backward
towards wall or corner, the
ceiling plate must be increased
by the same amount
(eg: Offsetting 100mm to the
rear. Standard ceiling plate of
500 x 500 x 15mm must now be
increased by 100mm at the
front. 350mm from centre to
the front edge of ceiling plate)

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
WHAT WOOD TO USE
we recommend pine (soft wood)
- not only sustainable in NZ but one of the cheapest!
POWER OUT
not only does your Duo not need electricity to heat
your home - you can cook on the top too
ensure you use the right equipment to avoid damage
GREAT COMPANY
the atmosphere a fire puts out is both warm and cosy,
even romantic
