I chose the most inconvenient chimney installation option. How did we do it together, with my wife? I am giving the details (many photos).
I love to create difficulties for myself out of the blue. Where many do not bother at all, I want to do everything, albeit more difficult, but right (as I think). What is the result, see for yourself ...
Friends, I am glad to welcome you to my channel. The story with stove heating in my house continues. After choosing and purchasing a stove with a chimney, it was time to put all this in its place in my house under construction.
See the background on my channel ...
Where to put the stove, where to bring the chimney?
I chose the location of the stove based on several criteria.
- Ease of use (do not drag firewood through the whole house).
- Heating efficiency (so that heat gets into all corners faster).
- Aesthetics (should not get in the way, and look good on site).
But another very important point is the possibility of removing the chimney. And here there are already some nuances.
- Operational safety. And here is the option of passing through the ceiling, and I removed the roof. We will go through the wall.
- Possibility to save money, but keep the required characteristics (chimney length at least 5 meters, for normal draft).
- Do-it-yourself installation.
As a result, having correlated all the pros and cons, the choice was made. Although you can't call it perfect either.
I put the stove at the intersection of the kitchen with the living room, against the outer wall. There she does not get in the way, and looks good.
The chimney goes right into the wall. But you will have to make a horizontal section (this is a minus). And the exit is just on the pitched part of the roof, so there will be difficulties in fixing the chimney.
But the main thing is that everything is solvable and done by hand. Wife to help me 💪 ...
✔ First, a hole was drilled in the wall.
He did this by drilling and chiselling with a perforator. Aerated concrete is not a combustible material, so I did not use any pass-through elements, and I put the chimney element right in the resulting hole.
✔ Support console. Made everything from the remains of iron.
Metal is never superfluous, and my scrap heap came in handy again. From the remains of the 40x40 corner, a support was welded on which the chimney will stand.
There were doubts about fixing this structure to the aerated concrete wall. But powerful dowels for aerated concrete and screws 10 mm thick coped with a bang. Well, most importantly, aerated concrete with a density of D400 copes. They stand me calmly.
✔ Chimney assembly. We put the entire column as a whole.
Piece by piece it was unrealistic to put everything in place. There is simply nothing to hold on to. Therefore, we assembled the entire column from the outside of the house at once, on the ground.
The structure is not light, but somehow my wife and I lifted everything and put it in place. But the most important thing remains - it is to fix the structure.
My wife keeps everything, I run around 👌 ...
This is exactly how it was. While my beloved was sitting on the stairs hugging a pipe, I urgently measured the length, and did hard stretching.
The 32nd steel pipe (remained with me from attempts at hydrodrilling and water extraction at the site). Measured, cleaned, flattened the ends, and made holes in them for fastening.
✔ It remains to install all this ...
- I attached stretch marks to the roof through ordinary galvanized corners (I fixed them through metal tiles, into the crate, with roofing screws).
- And to be sure of the tightness, he missed everything with roofing sealant, and stuck on bitumen, roofing, repair tape.
- Well, the extensions were attached to the pipe by special "ears" on a clamp. All through the bolts.
Everything turned out more than reliably.
It only remained to finish the finishing touches in the form of painting the metal (well, on the ground, it was impossible to paint, as I said: I love difficulties 😎).
The work is done, it remains to check all this in the case ...
