Chimney tee
The chimney tee allows for the safe and efficient exhaust of flue gases from the heating device to the chimney. It is used to connect flue pipes at different angles and directions.
Chimney tees can be made from various materials, come in different sizes—from Ф80 to Ф350—and different angles—135° and 90°. The most common materials are stainless steel and galvanized steel, which offer high corrosion resistance and long life.
The size of the tee should match the diameter of the flue pipes in your system. The choice of angle depends on the configuration of your chimney system.
Regular maintenance, cleaning, and professional inspection are key to the long life of the chimney tee.
The installation of chimney tees is straightforward, but keep in mind that improper installation can lead to backdraft, inefficient combustion, and potentially dangerous situations.
Signs of damage include:
-
visible corrosion;
-
cracks;
-
poor exhaust of flue gases.
