2.5. ATTACHING MODULES TO EACH OTHER AND
TO FIREPLACES
At the lowest end of the insulated chimney comes a starting
element that is suited to the fireplace’s connection method.
Modules are connected to each other as follows:
A module’s internal pipe’s wider upper end (the female end)
points always upwards. The module above it is lowered onto
the lower one in a straight position while making sure that the
pipes and insulation settle tightly and straight against each
other.
Once the whole chimney has been assembled, the internal
pipe modules are tightened against each other by hitting
them lightly with a hammer of about 1.5 kg or equivalent on a
piece of plank laid across the top. Attention! This must be done
before the end cap is installed.
The external mantles must also settle straight and tightly into
place. They are connected to each other with tie rings.
There are grooves and raised parts on the tie rings that fit into
equivalent grooves and raised parts on the pipe mantles. The
tie rings are tightened using the screws supplied with them. Do
not tighten them too much! The locking part of the tie ring can
be turned towards the wall for a cleaner look.
If you need to detach the modules from each other, proceed
as follows:
Raise the mantle and insulation from the module by enough
to make the connection of the internal pipes visible. Then tap
at the internal pipe sideways with a bit of wood until the pipe
detaches. Be careful not to use excessive force.
When the fireplace is connected to the chimney using
a connection pipe and possibly an extension pipe:
Kastor manufactures connection pipes for its fireplaces that
fit these chimneys directly. There are adaptor parts for stone
ovens with top and back connections.
For the fireplaces of other manufacturers Kastor produces
adaptors to measure. In some cases the fireplaces come
equipped with body-fit sleeves for the chimney, for instance
tile and soapstone products and some oil and pellet burners.
Natural gas boilers require a condensation water removal seg-
ment, which is also part of our line.
2.6. SEALING THE ROOF AND ELEMENTS ABOVE THE ROOF
The piercing of the roof must be performed with care to prevent
leaks. The roof can be sealed using a rubber KC roof seal or a
flashing kit with storm collar, which are available for various
degrees of incline.
The cover sheeting beneath the roof must also be sealed. The
sheeting cannot be attached directly to the chimney mantle. It
is attached to a protective cylinder placed around the chimney
using, for instance, a urethane based sealing glue compound.
New wooden buildings always sag somewhat and this must
be accounted for in making the seals and in maintaining their
integrity.
See chapter 5.6 Safety distances and protective casing.
2.7. PIERCINGS OF WALLS AND STRUCTURES
A Kastor chimney can also be taken through walls and struc-
tures using the necessary modules and special parts. Before
the chimney’s final route is defined, it is particularly impor-
tant to examine the house’s structures and make sure that
the piercings are not complicated by structures and safety
distance requirements. The segment going through the wall
must not be subject to any stresses from the chimney or the
house’s other structures.
The chimney’s height and the number/lengths of modules
must be chosen and installed in such a way that no connection
between modules will fall within a ceiling or the upper edge of
the roof. This is particularly important when the rubber KC roof
seal is used. In the horizontal direction the length of a piercing
can be at most 1000 mm, and this is subject to the chimney’s
length and the draught conditions.
See chapter 5.6 Safety distances and protective casing.
