Stainless steel - the best choice for chimneys

Chimneys stainless steel - Stainless steel advantages

sufficiently resistant to the ravages of the condensate, so it is the most suitable material for the chimney.Stainless be is of several types, suitable and not suitable for our purposes.

1. steel AISI 430;410;409 is not resistant to condensate, is suitable only for making dishes, since chromium in its composition to 11%.
2. steel AISI 304;321 contains 17% chromium and 8% nickel.Therefore, this brand of plastic and resistant to condensation of combustion products.This option is acceptable for chimneys, although there are limitations, namely the temperature of the combustion products is not more than 450o.This feature depends on the design of the boiler and the fuel.
3. Heat resisting steel AISI 309, 316 is composed of chromium and nickel, respectively 25 and 20%.This is exactly what we need for a chimney.

Generally, selecting material for the chimney, it is necessary to look at the acid resistance and heat resistance of the material.These figures should be high.

tubes for solid fuel boilers and furnaces, constructed of stainless steel has its own distinctive characteristics from other metals:

1. Stainless pipe is lightweight, so one man cope with the installation.The installation is quite simple, because the socket chimney design and the large number of components.
2. These chimneys may be applicable for all furnaces and boilers
3. material is resistant to corrosion and corrosive environments.
4. can be installed on existing fume collection channels.
5. aesthetics.

Component parts for installation of stainless steel tube for solid fuel boilers

Manufacturers are doing their best to pipe can be installed as easy as possible.For this purpose it is available all kinds of components and connectors.

main thing - it's an ordinary stainless pipe.Its length can be 33, 50 or 100 cm. The tubes are connected together by the socket, does not require additional parts to seal the joint.

next element - knee or removal under 45 °, which is necessary to change the angle.And the knee 90 degrees, consisting of turning segments in a quantity of four pieces that can make the required angle.

further required spit tees and straight lines (45 and 90 degrees), with a tee cap to use it to carry out the chimney cleaning.So are the little things like a fungus-vent debris from entering from the outside and the wind vane, and the gate to regulate traction.

Where stainless steel tubes used

pipes for discharging smoke are planning another heating system design stage.Appointment of a tube of stainless steel depends on the steel grade and its design features.These pipes can be installed on:

• solid fuel boilers - fireplaces.oven, barbecue;
• liquid-fuel stove - boilers, oil-fired;
• boilers fueled by gas.

Stainless pipe - it is safe and effective boiler operation.They are durable and ensure a complete absence of combustion products in the room.
