Installation, Assembly & Usage Instructions
For the installation of a chimney from the ATRITUBE CH HD CE, ATRITUBE CH LD CE, ATRITUBE EX CE series, only the appropriate certified accessories (supports, rain end pieces, condensate collectors, clamps etc) from the ACCESSORIES series must be used.
The installation of a chimney takes place as follows:
- At the bottom of the chimney the product AC-HWT-EX or AC-HWT-CH (triangular wall support for the corresponding chimney system) from the ACCESSORIES series is fixed onto the wall. The triangular wall support must be fixed firmly with metal wads M8x75mm, leveled and with no horizontal deviation and by using the appropriate load (in Nm) to tighten the bolts and secure a correct connection of the elements during installation.
- Over the triangular support are placed the linear chimney elements (chimney fittings), depending on the height of the installation.
- The chimney fittings are supported every 1,5m maximum with the products AC-HHW-SS (strengthened wall support) and 1m maximum with the products AC-HAW-SS (wall support) from the ACCESSORIES series, again with the use of the appropriate load.
- When a displacement of the chimney from its initial vertical axis is required, 45 and 90 degree elbows are used.
- All chimney elements are placed with their (inner) female edge (socket) FACING UPWARDS.
- All chimney elements come with a sealing silicone gasket inside the female edge. At stove/fireplace applications gaskets must be removed due to the high temperatures of exhaust fumes.
- The male edge of the elements locks into the female. The male edge must be placed all the way inside the socket.
- On top of the chimney is placed a rain end piece from the ACCESSORIES series (AC-CUF-XX, AC-CAF-XX, AC-VLC-XX, AC-STR-XX).
- A T-element with a condensate collector is placed under the triangular support.
- The T- element is connected to the heating appliance with a connecting flue pipe (chimney linear single or double wall) section.
- Around every connection are placed clamps (AC-COS-SS) from the ACCESSORIES series.
- When horizontal sections are necessary to be installed, they must have an upward direction. Long horizontal parts and the excessive use of elbows must be avoided to ensure the efficiency of the chimney.
- If the free standing height of the chimney has to be longer that 1,5m, it must be supported with an extra metal construction.
Use of elements from the ATRITUBE CH HD CE series together with non CE certified products from other series is PROHIBITED.
It is PROHIBITED to use of products from the ATRITUBE CH HD CE series in exhaust systems with a temperature of exhaust fumes over 200° C while using the sealing gaskets and a minimum distance of 40mm from combustible materials. Without the sealing gaskets and the distance to combustible materials at 100mm, the maximum temperature should be 600° C:
It is PROHIBITED to use products from the ATRITUBE CH LD CE series in exhaust systems with a temperature of exhaust fumes over 200° C while using the sealing gaskets and a minimum distance of 40mm from combustible materials. Without the sealing gaskets and the distance to combustible materials at 150mm, the maximum temperature should be 450° C:
It is PROHIBITED to use of products from the ATRITUBE EX CE series in exhaust systems with a temperature of exhaust fumes over 200° C while using the sealing gaskets and a minimum distance of 40mm from combustible materials. Without the sealing gaskets and the distance to combustible materials at 150mm, the maximum temperature should be 450° C:
When the exhaust fumes are a product of solid and liquid fuel burning with sulphur (S) concentration above 0.2% it is RECOMMENDED that the flue liner is produced using AISI 316L stainless steel.
Stainless steel chimneys should not be installed in areas with a high concentration of halogen gases and vapors (F, Cl, Br, I). Therefore, extra attention should be paid when installing chimneys near printing shops, industrial laundries/ dry cleaners, hairdressing salons and galvanizing factories. If so, the chimney’s warranty is void. Special measures should be taken to filter the air used for the combustion from the halogen gases.
