- The ability to easily cut the pipe to your preferred length means you can customise your installation to match specific spatial requirements. Always remember to apply high-temperature paint to any exposed steel after cutting to prevent rust.

Versatility and Safety Standards:

Installation Guidelines

Preparation

Before beginning your installation, ensure you have all the necessary tools and safety equipment. Familiarise yourself with the stove pipe's specifications to plan your layout correctly. Check for any recommended optional accessories that might suit your specific installation needs, such as additional sealing compounds or maintenance access doors.

Fitting the Stove Pipe

1. Measure and Cut: Determine the required length of the stove pipe. Utilize a high-quality cutting tool to achieve a clean cut. Always smooth any rough edges and immediately apply high-temperature paint to exposed steel.
2. Join the Components: Align the friction-fit joints carefully. The design ensures a snug connection, reducing the need for extra compounds, although a jointing sealant can be applied for enhanced security.
3. Seal and Secure: While the friction-fit provides adequate sealing, verify that the pipe is securely fixed especially at any changes of direction. For added safety, consider applying a heat-resistant jointing compound.

Safety and Maintenance

- Installation Safety: Always wear appropriate PPE when handling and cutting steel. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to maintain clearances from combustible materials, ensuring a minimum 450mm distance where applicable.
- Routine Maintenance: For solid fuel setups, regular chimney cleaning is crucial. The option to add an access door means maintenance can be performed without dismantling larger parts of your installation, saving both time and resources.
