Steel Chimney
Pipes The purpose of a chimney pipe
is to take the combustion products,
i.e, smoke and gases from the
appliance to the atmosphere outside
the home, and at the same time, to
draw air for combustion into the
appliance. Steel chimney pipes have
become a popular, low-cost
alternative to conventional brick
chimney. Steel chimney pipes are
made by different manufacturers, but
all meet the same basic design
standards. They begin with two steel
cylinders, one inside the other.
Then they pack the gap with
insulation. In almost every case,
the insulation is made of ground-up
fiberglass plus silica. |

Rigid or flexible, steel
chimney pipe always come in some type of
insulation around it. The steel provides a
continuous, even lining, and the insulation
forms an additional layer of protection.
Steel is preferred over other material
because of its acid and heat resistant
qualities. Steel also has uniform material
strength throughout the entire structure
providing more consistent and predictable
results than wood. Steel chimney pipes are
constructed properly, structurally sound and
can be properly installed.
