Gas
Construction
Manufactured from 0.5mm 430 grade stainless steel in diameters from 100mm - 300mm as standard. Larger sizes are available. All pipe lengths are double-lockseamed on longitudinal seams to ensure a leak proof installation.
Typical Applications
Can be used on gas and oil fired space heaters and boilers, combustion air ducting, fan dilution systems, air conditioning and ventilating ducts, steam venting in laundries etc, and flue pipe connections for some domestic and commercial gas appliances. 430 grade stainless steel can also be used on many fume extract ducts but check suitability with us as another grade of stainless steel may have to be specified.
Installation
Sections can be joined together using self tap screws or pop rivets. Alternatively securing bands can be used. All male (crimped) ends should point downwards to eliminate leakage of condensate.
Roof Penetration
Change over sections are available which have both ends crimped to prevent rain entering joints above roof level. These sections are fitted where the flue run passes through the roof.
Flashing plates are available in lead, aluminium or stainless steel. The pitch of roof must be specified on lead flashings but standard adjustable flashings are suitable for roofs from 0-30 pitch. Storm collars or cravats should be fixed to fluepipe immediately above flashing plate and should be sealed to fluepipe with silicon or similar non setting sealant.
Terminals
Use standard cowls on oil-fired appliances and double-inverted cowls on induced draught systems to reduce back pressure in flue. Gas terminals should only be used on gas appliances. Universal Terminals are suitable for either Oil or Gas.
Other terminals can be manufactured where downdraught is present. |
