Fireplace flue gas
Avoid
contact
with
(example: wooden beams) and in any case provide
for their insulation with flame retardant material.
In case of pipe penetrations through roofs or
walls is recommended to use special kits crossing,
certificates, are available commercially. In the event
of a chimney fire, turn off the stove, disconnect
from the network and never open the door. Then
call the authorities.
The chimney cap
The chimney cap must respect the following
requirements:
• It must have the equivalent diameter and internal
form of the flue.
• It must have a useful outlet diameter of not less
than double that of the flue.
• The chimney cap on the roof or that remains in
contact with the outside (for example, in case
of open lofts or attics), must be covered with
elements in brick or tile and must, in any case, be
well insulated.
• It must be constructed to prevent rain, snow, and
extraneous bodies from entering the flue and so
that the discharge of the products of combustion
is not inhibited by wind from any quarter or
strength (wind-proof chimney cap).
• The chimney cap must be positioned in such a
way as to guarantee the adequate dispersion and
dilution of the products of combustion and in any
case, must be out of the reflux zone. This zone
has different dimensions and forms according
to the angle of inclination of the roof so it is
necessary to adopt minimum heights.
• The chimney cap must be a wind-proof type and
must be above the ridge.
• Eventual structures or other obstacles that are
higher than the chimney cap must not be too
close to the chimney cap itself.
• The device should not be installed in the flue
shared.
