Stove heating is considered quite popular in various private houses or summer cottages. It involves not only the installation of the furnace itself, but also the connection of the chimney to it, which is then removed to the street through the wall or roof of the structure. It can have different sizes and parameters, as well as its creation can be made from various materials. However, the most popular is the brick chimney that can be built on its own. But at the same time it is important to know what rules you need to follow during work in order to get a design that will be reliable and safe for use.
Brick chimney device
This design has its own specific structure, which every person who wants to build it on its own should know about. Many believe that the chimney is a regular masonry in the shape of a pipe, but in fact the device of the element is much more complicated. It consists of a large number of components of parts, each of which has its own purpose and importance.
Also, the main element for the formation of this system is a brick, so it is necessary to approach its choice responsibly. It should be high -quality and reliable, as well as resistant to temperature differences. Additionally, its thickness should be optimal for creating the required chimney in terms of parameters. Most often, for these purposes, red furnace brick is used, which is made of clay that has passed a specific firing procedure. During the structure of the design, it is important to use the same solution in which any combustible substances should be completely absent.
The chimney itself consists of the following elements:
A superstar pipe is connected to the furnace;
Next is a special flush;
After that there is a riser that is mounted in the attic and is a straight pipe rising to the roof or wall of the house;
The next part is called the otter, which is a pipe expanding in different directions, which does not allow the precipitation to the structure and structure;
The final element of the chimney is the head of the head, which is fixed at the very end of the pipe.
An sparking, cap or flour can be installed additionally.
Installation of a brick chimney
In accordance with the correct device of this design, the process of its creation begins. The following stages are implemented for this:
It is important to initially prepare a masonry solution, which will be intended for these works, and it should be clay and clean sand. The structure of this mixture should be uniform and suitable for masonry. The assembly process itself should be carried out from below, and each element should be checked for the correct installation, since any deviations or distortions are not allowed.
Work begins with the installation of a supership pipe, which should take into account all available brick bindings. She will join the upper part of the furnace equipment itself. If there is a gas boiler, then it is recommended to bring ventilation ducts for it for it.
Next begins the formation of the flush. To do this, expand the brick channel in the ceilings. To do this, not only brick can be used, but also concrete. The passage site is recommended to be isolated by suitable materials, which should be non -combustible, and their thickness should not be less than 10 cm.
Creating a riser. This element is organized in the attic building. It is important to remember that the chimney itself is removed from the structure through the roof, for which a hole of a suitable diameter is created in the rafter structure and roofing. The riser is laid out of brick quite easily, since there are no extensions or other specific work here. It must be brought to the very roof of the structure, after which a small part of it is removed to the roof.
The masonry is otter. The next stage of work is to create an extended pipe located on the roof. It is designed to protect the stove equipment and premises in the house from the effects of the atmosphere and precipitation. As a rule, the otter has a size equal to nine brick rows, and each subsequent row should be slightly wider than the previous one. Additionally, it is important to install special brick plates in the chimney channel. Also in the fourth row of otter it is necessary to make small ledges that are made for all subsequent rows.
Creation of neck and head. Next, a neck is formed, the dimensions of which are completely dependent on what height the chimney has. It is not recommended to make a very high pipe, since in this case you can get low traction in the chimney, and accordingly the efficiency of the entire furnace as a whole will be reduced. At the last stage, a head is created, on which the sparking or cap is dressed.
Thus, make a brick chimney for any furnace equipment, boiler or fireplace is quite simple. To do this, it is important to know what elements this design consists of, and how exactly each part of the equipment is created. In this case, you can get a chimney that will be durable, reliable and beautiful.
