Furnace pipes and its components: product characteristics
Chimneys are divided according to the principle of their design into:
- Hidden, that is, those that are installed in the ventilation of the walls of the house.
- Nasadnye, that is, those that are attached to the outlet duct of the furnace and other.
- External, that is, those that are installed, of course, outside the house.
- Native, that is, those that have their own foundation and are located along the houses, like a vertical riser.
The withdrawal of the chimney through the wall in this scheme is implied when external and hidden chimneys are created, since all the others( shell and root) are usually placed through the attic and the roof of the house.
Important! The first stage of construction is the determination of the type of construction and the "exit" of the chimney. And after that you can start choosing the material.
Material components of pipes
The process of creating a pipe for a fireplace is diverse and interesting. Most often, metal, asbestos-cement and ceramics are used for manufacturing. And what is interesting to call an ideal material for it is extremely difficult, because each of them has both disadvantages and advantages.
Important! When choosing the material, consider how it will be combined with the system design of the house system.
For example, it is more natural for a chimney to look like a metal pipe, because the chimney quickly rusts from the side of the street, and the output from solid metal is not widely available.
Based on this, ceramic materials, bricks and blocks are most often considered as the best material for hidden and indigenous chimney systems. Their installation will give the best result, as the material does not undergo combustion, which means that a more stable outlet for smoke is provided.
Important! Think about the asbestos cement option. It is an ideal option for a street chimney, as only it will be bound by the effects of precipitation and temperature, but this time will remain unscathed.
Furnace pipes: installation features
The construction technique for chimneys is extremely specific for the reason that the operation of the pipes will be in non-standard conditions. Their preparation refers more to the binding of pipe communications to the chimney itself and the solution of such a problem as the removal of the chimney through the wall. It is worth telling about the most popular.
How are they installed?
Hidden chimneys
Install the masonry, then the chimney channel is mounted in one of the ventilation holes. Excellent exit for those who do not have the opportunity to build and violate the integrity of the building. But this method is not quite safe, on the contrary, with such chimneys, the rush of fires and accidents increases. It is impossible to install the chimney independently and its thermal deformations carry a great danger. Plus: you do not need to insulate the pipe on the roof and the smoke channel is much higher than the roof.
Padded chimneys
They are installed in steel. Budget and easy way, which can be implemented independently.
Basic nuances:
- Due to the fact that it is metal, it will be necessary to assemble it in disassembled form and use a welding machine. And the knee of the pipe can not withstand the hearth furnace.
- Insulation is necessary at the place of roof overlap and passage into the wall. Otherwise, the entire building can catch fire.
- The body of the pipe in a room that is not heated should be insulated from the cold temperature. Otherwise, the sweat may cause rust.
- Waterproofing pipes made of metal must consist of their fireproof materials. For example, it can asbestos, because it fixes the steel and ceramic casing at the junction.
Good luck to you! And recreate in the house a true cosiness at the expense of a fireplace or a stove, and the chimney should be installed only in accordance with fire safety!
