Flue Kits & Pipes
in Cape Town.

The flue decides how well a fireplace draws, so match it to the appliance first. Use the diameter of the stove's outlet: in our installations, fireplaces up to 10 kW take a 130 mm flue, 11–15 kW a 150 mm flue and 16–18 kW a 180 mm flue. Never reduce the diameter below the outlet size.

Next, choose the route. A through-the-roof kit goes straight up through the ceiling and roof sheeting or tiles. A through-wall kit exits the back or top of the stove, passes through the external wall and rises up the outside of the house, with options to go around or through the roof overhang. Double-storey homes need extra lengths and supports.

SANS 10400 Part V requires the flue to finish at least 1 m above the highest point of the roof within 3 m, with proper clearance to timber and ceilings and a sealed, waterproof roof penetration. Use insulated or air-insulated sections where the flue passes through ceilings or close to combustibles.
