Heavy Duty Roof Support - Ø 200 (15-200-167)

Introducing the Heavy Duty Roof Support Ø 200

When it comes to ensuring that your chimney flue is safely and effectively installed, the foundation starts at the top. National Flues presents the Heavy Duty Roof Support Ø 200, a product designed with both performance and durability in mind. This guide explains the key features, benefits, and considerations to help you make an informed decision.

Product Overview

The Heavy Duty Roof Support Ø 200 is specifically engineered to secure the flue as it passes through your roof. Made from premium-grade stainless steel – with a robust outer layer of 304 and an inner layer of 316 – this support guarantees exceptional resistance to heat and corrosion. It is ideal for a range of household appliances, including woodstoves, gas coal effect fires, boilers, and other solid fuel, gas, and oil systems. Its design includes a rotating mechanism for fine vertical alignment, ensuring that the installation is both safe and optimally functional.

Durable Materials and Construction

One of the standout features of the Heavy Duty Roof Support is its construction. Manufactured with 304-grade stainless steel on the outside and 316-grade stainless steel on the inside, both at 0.4mm thickness, the support is built to withstand the typical challenges of high-heat environments and the wear and tear of regular use. The use of high-density compressed rockwool for insulation (200kg/m3 for TWPro and 128kg/m3 for other variants) not only contributes to excellent thermal efficiency but also provides superior safety measures. With HETAS approval and CE marking, you have the reassurance of compliance with stringent industry standards.

Precision Engineering for Safety

Safety is paramount in any chimney installation, and the Heavy Duty Roof Support addresses this by incorporating a rotating feature that allows the support to be perfectly aligned with the flue. This is achieved through two dedicated adjustment screws which enable precise vertical configuration. This level of precision ensures that there are no misalignments that could compromise the performance of your heating system or endanger your home. With a safe distance of 50mm from combustibles for TWPro systems and 60mm for KC systems, it meets and exceeds safety regulations, making it a reliable choice for your installation.

Step-by-Step Installation Process

Installation is critical, and the process has been designed to be straightforward. First, the roof support is fixed securely to the roof rafters. Its design features larger support plates compared to standard models, adding an extra layer of stability. The support rotates on two screws, which you can adjust to ensure that your flue is perfectly vertical before it exits the structure. After alignment, the Locking Band is applied to firmly secure the two parts of the Twin Wall Insulated Chimney system together.

Key Installation Tips:

- Always verify that the support is fully secured before the flue is further directed through the roof structure.
- Adhere strictly to the recommended distances from combustibles to prevent any overheating risks.
- Consult the manufacturer’s installation guide and loading data for any specific instructions or additional safety measures.
- Consider checking out additional accessories that might further enhance the installation process and overall performance.

Accessory Options to Enhance Your Installation

While the Heavy Duty Roof Support Ø 200 is an excellent standalone solution, exploring compatible accessories can provide further benefits. National Flues offers a range of complementary products designed to ensure a seamless and secure chimney installation. These include additional locking bands, supplemental insulation components, and professional-grade installation tools. By integrating these accessories into your setup, you can bolster the overall stability of your flue installation, ensuring a safer and more efficient operation.
