A Kastor Chimney consists of separate elements that can be
connected together. It can be installed in a finished or semi-
finished building. The roof piercing is best done in a finished
roof to ensure that the piercing is in the right spot.
Kastor Chimneys are delivered in parts. Push them inside each
other and fix them with a tie ring. The tie ring’s and chimney
mantle’s grooves must be aligned before tightening.
The CE mark decal is attached close to the lower part of the
chimney or an easily visible part of it. The installer fills in the
installation date and his/her signature. The other decal is
appended to the house’s documents and filled with the same
information.
Before you start the installation, read chapter 5: Important
factors, rules and regulations.
2.1. FOUNDATION
The foundation must be immovable, horizontal and sufficiently
stable. They must also withstand the weight of the Kastor
Chimney and stresses caused by other factors. The chimney
may also be based on the fireplace, if it has been designed to
bear a chimney’s weight and the chimney can be sufficiently
stable on it. The chimney must always be vertically installed.
Possible installation configurations:
Behind the fireplace, from the floor with support parts •
From the top of the fireplace with support parts •
On the building’s outside wall with supports to the wall •
On the building’s outside wall on a cast concrete or other •
stable base.
In evaluating the foundation’s support needs, the chimney’s
total weight according to the table below, when installing on
top of the fireplace its weight and the total single point load on
the floor. You will need to find out from the fireplace’s manufac-
turer how much load the fireplace can bear.
The weights of the chimneys:
KC-100 about 10 kg/m
KC-130 about 11 kg/m
KC-150 about 13 kg/m
KC-180 about 14 kg/m
KC-225 about 17 kg/m
On attaching the triangular wall support KC-01 to the wall,
you need to make sure the wall can bear the stress (ask its
structural engineer) and that the KC-01 is sufficiently sturdily
attached to bear the load.
The wall piercing segment or the horizontal connection pipe
of the fireplace must not be installed in such a way that the
chimney exerts any forces on them. They are not supporting
structures.
The triangular wall support can be mounted with its sharp
end pointing upwards or downwards. The chimney’s weight
must not rest on a pipe bend element. It must be supported in
another manner.
2.2. SUPPORTS AND SNOW INSULATION
FOR THE KASTOR CHIMNEY
The Kastor Chimney is supported as follows while adhering to
safety distances:
Indoor installation: The chimney rests on the fireplace or on
the floor. If the room is of average height (less than 4 metres),
the ceiling and roof piercings with their accessories (note
safety regulations) will provide sufficient lateral support. If the
unsupported height exceeds 4 metres, the chimney must be
supported with braces or the wall supports KC-386 or KC-389.
If the non-insulated connection pipe is extended with a non-
insulated extension pipe, the unsupported free height must
not exceed two metres.
Above the roof: The chimney must be supported with braces or
a support beam, if its free-standing height exceeds 3 metres.
Exterior installation: The chimney rests either on the triangu-
lar wall support KC-01 or a sturdy cast concrete foundation or
similar. The chimney is braced to the wall with wall supports
KC-386 or KC-389, which are installed in at least every other
chimney element. The section jutting above the roof is braced
as described above. The wall supports are fixed to the wall in
such a way that both the wall structure and the attachment
can withstand the stresses caused by the chimney (check
with the building’s structural engineer).
If there is a risk of snow and ice accumulating on the roof and
stressing the chimney and any installed rubber roof seal or
flashing kit, it must be protected with a snow barrier.
See installation examples in chapter 2.10.
