Support Components
ROOF SUPPORT
The roof support is supplied as a kit complete with two side
plates for fixing to the roof trusses, a band to give lateral
support to the chimney as it passes through the roof, and 3
self tapping screws, which are secured to the chimney through the band to
give a load bearing capacity. When the plates are installed above the
roof trusses as in Fig.1 the maximum number of pipes, which may be
suspended from the roof support is 6 x 1m pipes. When the plates
are attached below the trusses as in Fig.2 the maximum number of
pipes, which may be suspended is 4 x 1m pipes.
1. The band should be lowered down over the top of the ICS
pipe, and positioned so that the the side plates are resting on
top of the roof trusses as in Fig.1 or below the roof trusses in
the case of Fig. 2. The recommended position is always as
per Fig.1 where circumstances allow this solution.
2. The band should then be tightened using the nut and bolt provided.
3. Using the holes pre-drilled in the roof support band, drill 3mm holes
in the outer case of the chimney section (drill bit should be set for a
depth no greater than 10mm to avoid any damage to the liner of the
chimney)
4. Use the self tapping screws provided to secure the clamp band to the outer casing of the
chimney section.
Please note: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the truss to which the
roof support is being attached is load bearing and capable of withstanding the weight of the
system being installed.
CEILING HANGER
This accessory is designed to support ‘horizontal’ runs of the chimney
from the roof or ceiling. Please note that when used in combination
with a condensing appliance, this ‘horizontal’ section must have a fall of
minimum 3° on it to allow for condensate to drain back to a suitable
drain point and to avoid pooling of condensate, which would damage
the gaskets. Schiedel provides the split band and the installer will
provide the screwed rod and fittings.
1. Position the split band around the chimney section and fasten using the nuts and bolts
provided. The second bolt hole on the arms of the band is to allow for connection of the
screwed rod, which will be provided by the installer.
2. Maximum support spacing for the ceiling hanger is to be no more than 1.5 metres
between centres.
