Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

The chimney flue refers to the space in a chimney within which the movement of smoke, oxygen, and gas takes place. It is generally manufactured using metal and ceramic. It is an important component of a chimney because it is directly associated with the generation of correct draft. It should be resistant to dust and fire. Since a chimney flue is associated with movement of harmful gases, it should be constructed in accordance with standard building codes. The building codes for chimney flues differ from place to place. This article describes the U.S. standards for designing a chimney. You should remember that from a legal standpoint, you are liable for any damage that happens due to your chimney.

1. Installing liner in your chimney

In a chimney flue, the important component is the chimney liner. This part separates the heat on the inside from the outer parts of the chimney. Chimney building codes state that the chimney liner should be placed in the chimney flue and in the masonry of the chimney. Usually, chimney flues cause fires and research has shown that chimney flues without liners can contribute to the spread of fire to the surroundings in less than 3 hours.

The chimney flue should be lined starting from 8 inches above the bottom-most inlet. Medium refractory mortar should be used to make the lining. All sides of the chimney flue should be lined and then extra mortar should be expelled. The type of lining used should be on the basis of the device to be attached to the flue. When in doubt, you should look at the standard code of your region or you should take the advice of a professional. There are various standards of codes for various flue lines. On the basis of specific situations, you may be required to follow various standards.

2. Building Code for multiple flues

If you have many chimney flues, you should construct masonry wythes between the chimney flues. These should be around 4-inch thick and should be connected to the chimney.

3. Size of chimney flue

The mouth of the chimney flue should have a cross-sectional area around 1/10th of the mouth of the firebox. In order to get good draft and correct removal of exhaust gas and smoke, this standard should be maintained. The chimney flue should not have too small a height. It should be enough to accommodate draft of at least 20 Pascal.

4. Capacity of chimney flue

The material of the chimney flue should be such that it resists corrosion, cracking, and erosion. It should also be unreactive to corrosive substances. In addition, it should be able to tolerate extremely high temperatures to the tune of 1,800 degrees Celsius. Considering the above factors, the substance for the chimney flue should be chosen.
