Setting up a chimney in the bath with his hands

Conduct chimney installation in the bath with his hands not the easiest task, but it is doable.Every bath has a furnace, because of which it is warming up.

If electric stove, then put no need for a chimney.If the oven is heated with gas or solid fuel, the installation of the chimney to bring spent fuel is needed.

most common device of chimneys of brick and metal.

By way of installation designs are divided into internal (going indoors) and external (outside the bath and passing through the wall and ceiling).

Let's explore each option in more detail in order to understand which one is better.

Options chimneys

There are some of the most famous versions of chimneys:

1. Chimney made of bricks, most often choose for a bath, since such a construction is extremely strong and durable.In addition, the construction of the brick has a good thermal insulation and more protected from fire.Known disadvantages of brick chimney can include the presence of roughness on the inner surface of the pipes, which causes deposition of soot, smoke and slows access to the outdoors.In this regard, the design has to be cleaned constantly, which creates certain difficulties.A method of installing pipes made of bricks is not the easiest, and it is undesirable to carry out their own hands.It is better to employ a professional for this purpose, or alternatively the device to hold the metal of the chimney;
2. metal chimney installation (for example, a sandwich construction) carried much easier, and the material is thus much cheaper brick.The disadvantages of such a sandwich construction of the pipes can be attributed condensate formed on the inner surface of the pipe, as well as the need for good thermal insulation (if you do the installation correctly, condensate will not be a significant problem);
3. chimney performance of ceramic bath set inside and outside.Ceramic chimney is a structure built out of parts of different sizes, the creation of which calcined clay is used.This makes it possible not only to make the surface smooth tubes (through which the well passes soot and smoke), but also to maintain their low thermal conductivity.But to set the correct ceramic chimney is difficult, the work requires a certain skills, so beginners to conduct a similar installation with their own hands is not recommended.

Each design is individually defined under the bath, depending on its location.

If you need a budget option, it is better to make the design of the metal, but if you are not constrained in the media, it is better to build a chimney made of bricks or ceramics.

Location chimneys

If we talk about the location of pipes, it is most often the interior chimneys are used in Russia.

With the creation of additional heating steam can reduce spending on fuel as well as reduce the time period of warming the room.

Installation of flue gas at the same time is quite complex and is time-consuming work that can create difficulty installing pipes with your hands (you want to break through the ceiling and roof, also need high-quality sealing of pipes).

addition, internal chimneys have one major drawback - if the pipe or a crack appears more serious damage, it may be smoke baths, and even appears a fire hazard.

External chimneys were first installed in the United States, and later the idea was widely used.

chimney device while connected to one side of the furnace, and the other side is output through the outer side wall.Location

design on the exterior of a building reduces the risk of damage to the pipes and eliminates the possibility of a fire associated with this.

Conduct care such a design is also much easier.

The disadvantages with this include the need for high-quality thermal insulation of the structure.

This is to ensure that the particles of the exhaust gas does not cool down too soon, and not settled on the inside of the pipe structure, which may require frequent cleaning them in the future.

It also negatively affects the heating of the room, which is extremely undesirable.

forms chimneys

If you plan to hold the device with your hands design, you need to think about how to form and calculate the necessary size correctly.

The choice of pipe diameter with the first power of bath furnace is affected.

Do not forget also about the possible difficulties that may face the smoke at the outlet of the furnace, so the design scheme should be worked out as it should.

Let's examine this possible shapes and sizes of chimneys:

• device completely flat and straight chimney is considered not very profitable and efficient due to the high heat emission, which further causes explicit overrun spent fuel for heating steam;
• There chimneys with bends and pipes, not exceeding 1 m in length.Installation of these chimneys is difficult to perform with his own hands, but they have high productivity.Chimney in this case should have a cylindrical shape.Mounting in this case must be based not only on building regulations for installation, but also on the characteristics such as the size of the roof and surrounding buildings;
• If the roof is flat, the minimum chimney height should be 1 meter, if room has a sloping roof, the height should exceed the roof pipe skate a minimum of 1.5 m The length of the pipe to the ridge in this case must be a little more than a meter.;
• horizontal distance intervals when it should not exceed 1m.This is understandable in that the hot air, as is known, rises to the top, and if he will not be able to do it in a certain segment of the path, it will cause poor traction and a large amount of soot on the walls of the pipes.

Remember that if the structure is strongly curved and if there are many irregularities, the carbon black and soot will accumulate it in large quantities.

Because simple design is much more convenient, not only in the installation scheme, but also in terms of work efficiency.

Let's try to implement the installation of the chimney sandwich (structure consisting of metal inner and outer pipes laid between the insulation layer).

Preparations

Before spending a sandwich construction unit, should conduct training pipes, reducers, elbows, etc.

This removed all protective film removed all pasted labels and badges, patches are wiped with a cloth from oil and grease.

determined and marked up the bulk of the flue pipe from the furnace to pass through the ceiling (roof) baths.

The ceilings and the roof are cut openings for the unimpeded passage of the pipe (size is calculated with thermal insulation).

The video below shows this process.

Wooden joists and rafters must not be at the same time break the plane of cutting.This point

usually considers bath construction diagram already during its design (the watch location on the furnace and the material from which the ceiling is made).

Assembling the chimney

assembly begins with the bell furnace and rises to the ceiling using the method "of condensate."Access to docking sites thus remains open.

achieve full docking is possible, using a wooden mallet and gently tapping it on the material.
In this case, the possible need complete sealing gaps.

You will need sealant, can withstand about 1000 degrees Celsius.

mount docking pipe joints sandwich while performed by crimping collars (elements fasteners that connect the parts together and provide joint tightness).

And now let's examine how to carry out the installation diagram of the structure:

• Spending fixing pipes together using clamps;
• On structure elements set brackets for fastening pipes (by 1.5 m).At the same time, make sure that the distance to the existing communications was not less than 1 m;
• installation of the chimney sandwich working channels along the walls of the bath hold.Tee thus attach the mounting bracket;
• If the wall near which passes the chimney, made of wood, the design must be wrapped with non-combustible material, such as asbestos.If the wall was made of brick, use the special apron;
• Output Horizontal pipes and wires assembly tee and brackets required for mounting the vertical pipe;
• vertical tube, usually it is going on the ground, and then assembled is inserted into the knee (to facilitate the process used by the hinges, made of iron sheets for welding or cutting the pins);
• vertical pipe placed in a tee and fasten with pipe clips.Installation of joint with the knee performed well.In the place of the sandwich pipe chimney connection, you must add the bolts (where feasible);
• After conducting stretch the remaining brackets (first adjustable tension with his hands, and after fixing the cable, carry out adjustment by screws).

Finish the installation by checking the furnace flue draft in the bath.

ignite a piece of paper and a tray to an opening in the furnace.If the flame is deflected to the chimney, then thrust there through the pipe can pass smoke.

Now you know how to properly hold the sandwich chimney device in the bath.To do the job correctly and as quickly as possible, we recommend you to see our video.
