Sflue Black (2151805B) - Wall Support c/w Support Pipe - Ø 127

Introduction

When it comes to maintaining a safe and efficient heating environment, the structural integrity of your chimney is paramount. The Sflue Black Wall Support c/w Support Pipe (Ø 127) by National Flues is a meticulously engineered solution designed to manage the vertical load of your chimney system, thereby ensuring a reliable and secure installation. Whether you’re upgrading your old flue system or installing a new one, choosing the right wall support is essential for your home’s heating safety.

Why Quality Wall Support Matters

Your chimney is a vital component of your home’s heating system, especially when utilising solid fuel, oil, or gas appliances. A quality wall support not only stabilises the chimney but also safeguards your property against potential structural weaknesses. The Sflue Black system is constructed with materials that resist corrosion and wear over time, ensuring longevity. The use of 304-grade and 316-grade stainless steels enhances durability while the adjustable design accommodates various wall clearances, making installation both flexible and secure.

Superior Materials and Construction

The key to the longevity of any chimney support is the quality of its materials. With an inner skin of 316L stainless steel and an outer skin of 304 stainless steel, both with a thickness of 0.40mm, this product is built to withstand the harsh conditions that a chimney often encounters. The dual-layer construction not only maximises strength but also provides excellent resistance to heat, corrosion, and environmental stresses. This means that from the damp, unpredictable weather to seasonal temperature fluctuations, your installation remains robust and reliable.

Adjustable and Custom-Fit

One of the hallmark features of the Sflue Black Wall Support is its adjustable clearance range from 50mm to 150mm. This flexibility is critical when dealing with variances in wall construction and ensures that the support can be fine-tuned to your specific requirements. The ability to adjust the clearance perfectly aligns the chimney with the wall, thereby reassuring you that every installation is both bespoke and secure. Adjustability in design translates to improved safety and ensures optimal alignment and load distribution for your chimney system.

Installation and Safety Considerations

Proper installation is crucial, and the Sflue Black Wall Support simplifies this process with its user-friendly design. The support features an 8-barbed twist-lock mechanism along with a locking band, ensuring a tight joint. However, it is imperative to maintain at least a 50mm distance from combustibles to adhere to safety standards.

Step-by-Step Installation Overview

1. Preparation: Gather all necessary components including the support pipe and ensure that you have M10 wall fixings on hand. Verify that the mounting area has the required clearance and is free from any combustible obstructions.
2. Adjustment: Set the adjustable bracket to match your wall clearance needs—ranging from 50mm to 150mm—to ensure a perfect fit.
3. Securing the Support: Use the integrated twist-lock mechanism to firmly secure the support structure. The 8-barbed design not only simplifies the process but adds an extra level of stability.
4. Final Checks: Once installed, double-check that all components are immutably secured and that the defined 50mm clearance from combustible materials is maintained throughout the installation.

Employing a systematic approach during installation not only eases the process but also guarantees that all safety guidelines are rigorously followed.
