Fireplace flue gas
Avoid contact with combustible materials (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 (Fig. 2).
• 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.
