If installing the flue in a brick built chimney, is recommended to use metal tubing along its whole length
to avoid cracks, roughness, changes in section, and similar. An existing chimney must be thoroughly
cleaned before installation. The tube must exceed the height of the brick chimney and protrude a few
inches at the top. Seal plates and flashings must be fitted at the top of the chimney, as shown in Figure 8.
In some cases, the geometry of the existing brickwork chimney means a rigid pipe cannot be used, in
these exceptional cases, the regulations allow the use of flexible pipes. These must have smooth surfaces
to prevent friction pressure losses and must not change direction at an angle exceeding 45 °.
If working on a brick chimney that has been rendered with mortar on the inside or outside, at least 7 days
must elapse before the stove is used, so that the mortar is completely dry, otherwise cracks may appear.

The top of the chimney must extend at least one meter above the highest part (top) of the roof. This
requirement does not apply to sloping roofs with angles of 20 ° or more, if the termination of the
chimney is located at a horizontal distance to the roof of over 2.5 metres, as in Figure 10.
