What is a smoke tube?

Smoke pipe is a metal tube that is routed inside the masonry chimney or runs as a separate chimney leading from a furnace or heating stove. The smoke tube carries smoke and harmful vapors from the living space of the building and open the fumes into the atmosphere. In some cases, the smoke pipe can also be used to exhaust the evaporats from the cooking or grill from the structure and into the open air outside the building. Regular cleaning and maintenance must be completed to maintain a properly functioning smoke pipe.

In many old masonry chimneys with smoking tiles have cracked and broken over time. The effects of repeated heating and cooling cause the clay tiles to become fragile and fragile. Because cracks, heat and soot can fill cracks and create hot spots. Hot places can lead to dangerous chimney fires, which can cause total structure loss. Placing a metal smoke pipe in a broken chimney is often a cost -effective way to avoid these fires.

The smoke pipe sections are assembled and slid down into the chimney. This gives the chimney a way to exhaust the vapors and smoke without the heat ever to contact the damaged tiles masonry. The original chimney offers protection of weaker metal smoke pipes and the whole chimney system benefits from the installation. Although the metal smoke tube is still required regularly planned maintenance, it is much easier to clean thanks to a smooth interior and very tight joints between sections.

In the new construction, the metal smoke tube is often installed in the walls of the building and venting on the outside of the building with a roof or wall. While some smoke pipes are located inside the chimney facades, others are run directly from the roof, similar to the sewer pipe. Usually made of a multi -walled pipe, the flue duct remains cool on its exterior and does not support any hot spots or Jedleefers into the structure. Decorative caps and covers are often used to provide aesthetic view of the public.

Modern inYesce effective heating systems often require much smaller smoke designs than older models. Swimming plays an integral part of the power of the heating unit and is designed to venting a certain amount of vapors from the structure in a given period of time. By steering the amount of evaporation exhausted from the unit, the amount of ambient heat lost by smoke can be calculated and reduced.
