How It Works

The IL Wall Band is designed to integrate effortlessly into your existing chimney flue system. Once installed, it acts as a stabilising element that reinforces the flue’s structural integrity along its height. The push fit and twist lock design enables a secure, hassle-free installation while ensuring that the wall band remains firmly in place, even under the rigours of daily operation. Its ability to reliably support the flue system means that it can be used with a variety of naturally aspirated gas-fired appliances, particularly those equipped with a draught hood or diverter.

Installation and Safety

When installing this product, it is crucial to adhere to the recommended guidelines: install the wall band at intervals not exceeding 3 metres and maintain a minimum clearance of 50mm from any combustible materials. This clearance is vital in preventing any heat transfer that could potentially lead to combustible hazards. Additionally, if you are planning an external installation, appropriate weather protection must be applied to preserve the integrity of the galvanised components. The IL Wall Band is not recommended for use in condensing or positive pressure applications, so ensure that your system meets the specified requirements before installation.

Addressing Common Concerns

Many customers initially question whether the IL Wall Band is suited to external applications. The answer is affirmative, provided that suitable weather protection measures are employed to counteract the natural exposure to the elements. Concerns regarding installation complexity are also common; however, with the easy push fit and twist lock mechanism, even less experienced installers will find that the process is straightforward and efficient. Moreover, the emphasis on compliance with established standards such as CE and BS EN ensures that the product not only adheres to quality benchmarks but also integrates seamlessly with a wide array of domestic gas vent systems.
