316 grade Stainless Steel flue pipe is available in 5" - 10" diameters as standard but is also available in larger sizes as 'Special' items.

The longitudinal seam on all components is fully welded to minimise any chance of leakage and to ensure a uniform high quality of manufacture throughout.

316 grade Stainless Steel is extremely resistant to corrosion and can be used on Gas, Oil, Solid Fuel, Wood and Peat.

Provision must be made for adequate inspection and sweeping of chimney. If access cannot be gained through appliance then the system must have cleaning doors through which access can be gained.

Always follow the appliance manufacturer’s advice on the correct diameter of flue to use, but never use smaller than the appliance outlet diameter.

The flue pipe must be kept a minimum of three times the diameter away from combustible materials.

Keep the flue as straight as possible by using the minimum number of bends and where possible, use 30 deg. elbows to make an offset instead of 45 deg.

90 deg. bends can only be used at the bottom of the stack as an alternative to a condensation Tee.

It is extremely important to the operation of the flue that any horizontal flue used to connect the appliance is kept to an absolute minimum.

Ensure that the flue is assembled with the crimp pointing downwards to ensure that any condensation is kept within the flue way.

Joint Clips should be used at each joint and fire cement may also be used to ensure an airtight seal.

The flue should be adequately supported so that any movement during sweeping is kept to a minimum.

Clamp plates are available to help locate and support liner at the top of chimney as are Register Plates for the lower end if required.

Chemical cleaners should not be used.

In the event of a chimney fire professional advice should be obtained before the flue is used again.

Prolonged periods of idling should be avoided where possible as it can promote excessive condensation.
