Modular chimneys are called pipes collected from individual parts – modules. Their distinctive feature is a light docking that allows you to create chimneys of any configuration, even the most difficult. The maximum height of such chimneys is 30 m.
The module constructively consists of 3 parts: pipe, casing, insulation. The pipe is made of stainless steel. Insulation allows the surface of the chimney not to overheat, and also reduces the formation of condensate in the pipe. The insulating material for the chimney is basalt wool that withstand temperatures up to 750 ° C.
Where the pipe passes through the roof and ceiling ceilings, it is necessary to place an additional insulating layer. The casing is usually made of stainless or galvanized steel. It is made to order from copper and brass, and at the request of the client is covered with a layer of plastic or heat -resistant paint of various colors.
Usually to reduce the surface of the surface of the main casing, an additional. Air circulation occurs between them. Consider this fact if you want to buy a chimney and install yourself.
It is also necessary to install a rubber seal, which is mounted in the place where the chimney passes through the roof. However, it is used only when the roof tilt is no more than 30o. The seal is used for steel, for roofs with a thick coating, as well as for a roof of tiles. It is attached with glue only when the pipe rises above the roof by at least 100 mm.
Installation is as follows. Put on the seal on the casing and move down to the roof, so that a ring of 50 mm high arises around the pipe. At this stage, it is necessary to check the condition of the seal. Its inner edge should not be damaged. Also remember that the seal is not worn over a special clamping ring.
After all these actions, the rubber should be tightly and tightly pressed to the roof and then glue. If the roof is made of toly, this is done in this way: put on the surface the place of fitness of the seal, after which the glue is applied with an uniform layer and the rubber is very tightly pressed. The same act when the roof of the house consists of steel tin. But at the same time, it is necessary to check well how the rubber adjoins well at the junction of the sheets.
