Introduction

When it comes to ensuring the safe and efficient operation of your chimney system, every component matters. The Sflue (2143005) Slip Section Adjustable Pipe, with a 127mm diameter, is a carefully engineered solution designed to cater to non-standard chimney dimensions. This guide will help you understand why this product is an excellent choice for your heating systems, addressing common concerns and detailing its many benefits.

Key Features and Benefits

The Sflue Adjustable Pipe stands out because of its robust construction and innovative design. Here are some key features:

- Adjustable Design: The 127mm diameter ensures compatibility with a wide range of chimney systems, even when standard dimensions don’t suffice.

- Superior Insulation: Embedded within the pipe is high-density compressed rockwool (230kg/m3), which provides excellent thermal insulation. This not only optimises heat retention but also enhances overall safety by protecting against excessive heat loss.
- Safety Certifications: The product is HETAS approved and CE marked, meeting the stringent standards of EN1856-1 T450 N1 D V2 L50040 G50. This ensures that your installation complies with necessary safety regulations.
- Easy Installation: Featuring an 8-barbed twist lock mechanism combined with a locking band, this product guarantees straightforward installation without compromising on security.

Installation Guidance

Installing a chimney system component can seem daunting, but the Sflue Adjustable Pipe is designed with simplicity in mind. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth installation process:

Pre-Installation Check

Before beginning the installation, it is important to review the installation manual thoroughly. Ensure you have all supplementary support components as the pipe must be used in combination with them for vertical applications. Verify that the installation area maintains a minimum 50mm distance from any combustible materials, ensuring safety.

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Preparation: Clean the chimney system area and measure to confirm that the pipe will fit securely into place. Always wear appropriate protective gear during installation.
2. Fitting the Pipe: Align the slip section with your chimney system. Use the 8-barbed twist lock system to securely join the sections. Make sure the twist lock mechanism is fully engaged.
3. Securing the Sections: Once in place, use the provided locking band to further secure the connection. This additional step is vital, especially in vertical installations, to prevent any accidental disconnections.
4. Insulation Check: Confirm that all insulation segments, made of high-density compressed rockwool, are properly aligned. This is crucial for maximising thermal efficiency and providing a safe operating environment.
5. Final Inspection: Finally, conduct an overall inspection of the installation to ensure that every component is correctly connected and that the mandatory 50mm clearance from combustible materials is maintained.
