5. Flue & chimney requirements cont...
Ceiling penetration
clearances
Existing chimneys should be inspected and cleaned by a qualied
professional prior to installation. The chimney must not have cracks,
loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Jetmaster
recommends a certied professional or a technician, under the
direction of a certied professional.
Single skin ue (stainless steel) must be completely enclosed with
single skin brickwork, concrete, or autoclaved aerated concrete
block. A chimney plate will be used to weather seal the chimney.
Twin skin ues (stainless steel inner, and galvanised outer) can
either be left exposed or enclosed with stud walls and sheet plaster
or timber. A minimum of 50mm clearance must be maintained
between the outer ue and any combustibles within the chase or
ceiling cavity. (Fig 5.1)
Position an active starter ue with two female ends to gather to
allow second length to have crimp facing down. (Fig 5.2)
Glass tape may be required to ensure a snug t.
The outer ue is then installed outside active ue with crimp facing
up to ensure water penetration on ue above roof runs out.
Rivet active ues together at crimped joins.
Fix outer non-active ues to active inner ues use 3 x 25mm self-
tapping screws through outer ue at bottom at each join and on top
at each join. As an alternative, rivet 4 x 25mm conduit saddles at
each join top and bottom.
Cowl
For solid fuel applications only
, a rotating bird cowl will assist in
preventing the eects of downdraft as it turns with the direction
of wind. (Fig 5.3)
Other solid fuel cowls may be desired to achieve a visual design
and such cowls can be used but must not restrict airow from
the ue pipe casings.
For gas applications
an AGA approved cowl must be used.
