Metal pipes smoke : an alternative to ceramics

advantages of metal chimneys

Compact stainless steel chimneys successfully pushed the market this specific equipment construction brick and ceramic pipes.Historically, the scope of the metal pipelines and gas dymootvedeniya was in industrial construction, but a number of successful engineering projects contributed to the introduction of steel shunt systems in low-rise residential projects.

1. The share material.The relatively low figure compared to masonry or ceramic.In simple heating projects with a heat source (furnace, boiler, water heater, etc.), Even when the internal wiring is very rarely it requires a separate foundation under the pipe system.
2. Corrosion resistance .Alloy steel is inert to most corrosive chemicals, so these metal chimney are virtually unlimited service life.
3. aerodynamic properties .Polished inner surface of the chimney does not hinder the free movement of volatile combustion products (if there is no dead space, and all the structural elements are designed and assembled correctly).
4. Easy to install smokestack .Installation of metal chimney, even with their own hands can be performed, but only after carefully reading the manufacturer's instructions.
5. relatively low price .For comparison three typical variants of steel pipe for the chimney (diameter of said outer):

tube type	Diameter mm	Thickness	Price per running meter
Stainless withoutinsulation	100	0,5	500
galvanized casing	200	0,5	1080
housing stainless	200	0,5	1600

metal chimney:

equipment As a rule, every self-respecting manufacturer of heating equipment not only in the passport indicates the installation characteristics chimney structures, but also supplies the kit required for installation of metal chimneys connecting elements.The list may include:

• bends 45 and 90 degrees, making rational breeding lines within the premises;
• tees 45 and 90 at the outputs of several devices or devices for deadlock: end cap, sumps or auditing hatch in many cases, is mandatory structural component;
• condensate, silencers are installed at the beginning of the scheme;
• umbrella outlet deflector (pressure equalizer), penetration of the roof components - this is the finishing device for mounting stainless steel dymovodov;

As you can see, the developers have provided all the details of your future chimney, we can only thoroughly approach to his design, calculate scheme and make the right choice of accessories.

Installation of metal chimneys

Phased installation of the chimney of the metal pipes can be seen in a video statement, but even without it, a man with his head and his hands able to properly assemble this construction, without violating the integrity of the floors and the roof.

Here are some simple guidelines for assembly fume collection channel in a residential home.

• dance should be from the "stove", iestart assembly of the whole circuit from the heating unit, which generates smoke, and finish the installation of the chimney on the roof.
• Connecting components metal parts of chimneys before planting is best treated with a special heat-resistant sealant.
• pipework inside the house to carry out efficiently on the surface of the load-bearing structures (on special brackets in increments of no more than 1.5 m with mandatory thermal insulation of walls).Quality mounting of chimneys not only provides the durability of the heating system, and your personal safety.
• Passages floors equipped with special inserts, access to the roof - assembly waterproofing and thermal protection.
• Fixing chimneys segments should only be performed by regular collars, usually comes bundled products (at least - offered by the manufacturer separately).

If you have not decided on their own to install a metal chimney at his country house, but now, at least, be able to monitor the work of professionals.
