Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Single Flue Chimneys with Extended Flues
Chimneys are of primary importance in the process of heating, and thus it is very important to assure their proper quality, both during their manufacture and installation. You can choose between single flue chimneys and dual/multi flue chimneys.

Single flue chimneys are usually made of stainless steel and intended for industrial usage: for electric generators, boilers and furnaces. They run on heavy oil, gas, heating oil, coal, wood, biomass or biogas. If properly installed and maintained, single flue chimneys can remove any waste type, withstanding temperatures of 1200 degrees Celsius and even higher. Single flue chimneys can be free standing, tied, or guy wired. They are adaptable to any height or diameter, so you can use them for any stove/furnace requirements.

Reliability of Single Flue Chimneys
Single flue chimneys depend on material dependability of its flue for chimney security. This chimney type can be a reliable structure due to flue ventilation substances that can provoke quick detraction of the stainless steel from which the chimney is made. It is also important to mention that single flue chimneys are complex and in a way, delicate structures that differ from usual compositions because they are affected by the cyclic elements of daily situations, particularly winds-and if these elements collide with a single flue chimney's natural frequency, it can even cause disastrous consequences. To avoid this, it is very important that a single flue chimney is designed and installed by a professional. Only professionals will understand and apply the necessary quality materials that will assure the integrity of a chimney. This will ensure proper chimney balance and necessary dynamic qualities. Professionals will ensure that a single flue chimney has proper shell density and that this density can be maintained for a desirable period of time.

Today, single flue chimneys are covered with a corrosion resistant case that covers the flue-and this corrosion protection can provide a false picture of chimney condition and its shell.

A single flue chimney cap should protect the chimney from moisture. It would be ideal to avoid cap construction in the form of mortar wash, because mortar cracks easily; it is not capable of withholding cement, but only sand, and sand isn't durable enough. Instead, the flue cap should be made with stone, cast or precast concrete. In order to prevent water entering the chimney, the cap should have a slope that is directed way off the flue; it should extend beyond the chimney wall for minimum of 2 inches.

Common Building Requirements for Chimneys:
Some of the most common rules include:
  • The chimney has to be at least 3 feet higher than the highest point of the roof line.
  • A chimney flue has to have a consistent width and shape for at least six inches over (or below) the point where the chimney goes through the roof or a ceiling.
  • The chimney wall should be at least 4 inches for chimneys in homes.
  • Home chimneys should have a lining that is convenient for that chimney's purpose and fuel that will be used.
A square chimney flue is beneficial because it takes more time for the creosote to develop in the chimney-and this prolongs periods between sweeps.
