If you decide to install in your home fireplace, the chimney pipe is required for its operation. In our time prefer to pipes made of stainless steel. Installing a stainless steel chimney will take much less time, than to lay a brick construction.
The owner of the house - a skilful master, having a set of stainless steel, it will bring together in a single structure in the shortest possible time.

What are the elements of the chimney is made of stainless steel fireplace?
Enterprises are made from a stainless steel component parts, which are mounted in a single device of any length.
This material is resistant to aggressive chemical compounds, which are obtained after combustion of gas, coal, fuel oil, and wood, so they are often used for the chimney.
What is a modular design?
The modular design - are one or two-circuit pipe provided with a heat insulating layer, and connected to each other in the channel. They are mounted vertically and horizontally on the inner and outer surfaces (the front and the roof).
Double-circuit ( "sandwich") have a heat insulating layer composed of mineral wool. It lowers the temperature in the external circuit.

chimney elements and its installation
The main part of the structure is a circular pipe of stainless steel. Its length is 50 and 100 centimeters, can easily be connected socket. These parts are the main segments and are going straight sections.
- To round the pipe architectural structure should be used or retraction knee its turning angle of 45 degrees.
- Less commonly used cool tap, its angle is 90 degrees. Such a pipe is used when connected to the fireplace.
- Straight and oblique bends having an angle of 90 and 45 degrees, the branches connect different pipes.
- Revision - This element is the same as the tee, but it has a plug - set for cleaning.
- Such elements as fungus deflector vane is withdrawn precipitation and protect them from penetrating into the inner cavity. Mounted on top of the structure.
- To the surface of the walls is fastened a special device - brackets. Applying them, you will greatly increase the speed of installation.
If you choose to output the chimney, it must be remembered that he had to cross the wall surface at an angle of 30 degrees, but not less. For these turns above the taps used.
In the horizontal position of the element is allowed to erect no more than 1 meter, or worsen traction.
To pass a special element is required through the surface of the wall or ceiling. In order to properly mount the pass element you will need to purchase mats made of basalt fiber, which are inserted into the inner part of the pipe.
- Next proceed to the assembly, it is mounted so as to avoid the connection of joints in the transition pipe.
- After removing design outside special mounting brackets are used to installed every 2 meters, such a compound will strengthen the structure and keep it in strong wind gusts.
There should be at the bottom of the chimney removable element - "audit" or door, through which cleaning is carried out, and removed the accumulated condensate or water ingress after rain.
Remember! Fume collection pipe needs to be cleaned twice during the heating season.
The advantages of stainless steel construction
The advantages are the following indicators:
- Modular chimney Steel has a light weight and which is fixed to the wall.
- Installation is made using taps. With these elements it easily goes around the architectural structure. tube axis is shifted in the right direction. In this case, the location of the fire remains stationary.
- A good indication is that the inside walls of the circular surface of the combustion products - soot and soot deposited in small quantities. Rarely need cleaning.
- It warms up significantly faster than a similar device, which contributes to easy starting of the fireplace.
- This device looks much more attractive than the other models.
What is the oval stainless steel chimneys and where are they used?
The oval-shaped tube and its fasteners are made of heat-resistant and acid-resistant metal. product term can be up to 45 years.
Due to the oval cross section and stable traction improves its smooth inner surface, and soot on the walls of almost delayed. In connection with the above data, the device is a low-maintenance, its cleaning is required less often.
Indoor oval tube is installed without thermal insulation and thermal insulation coating is required on the street, which helps to reduce the formation of condensation inside.
Oval section stainless steel is used more for its establishment in the interior of the chimney of the brick. This is the best embodiment of the smoke output of the fireplace and on its smaller walls delayed soot from combustion products.
- For bending, there are also special oval tees - bends having a rotation angle of 45 and 90 degrees.
Setting a chimney device made of stainless steel, you will ensure the safe and efficient operation of the fireplace.
Assemble the tube (stainless steel) you will be able, as this work requires no special skills, and under it is not required to fill in a powerful foundation.
