PRODUCT INSPECTION

Chimney components are shipped on individually marked skids. Compare the labeled
skids to the packing list to ensure all components of the chimney system have been
shipped. For missing components contact Duravent's Customer Service department at
800-667-3387 (Canada) or 800-361-4909 (USA).

FREIGHT DAMAGE

Each component should be checked for freight damage when it is unloaded at the site.
For damaged components contact the shipping company as soon as possible to file a
claim.

PROPER STORAGE

All chimney components should be stored in a dry place until installed.
Sealant shall be stored in location where it will not freeze.

PRODUCT WEIGHTS

The average weight of the duct, per foot of length, can be estimated using the following
formula:
DCL:
0.40 x diameter in inches = lbs per foot
DAS1:
0.79 x diameter in inches = lbs per foot
DIS1:
0.93 x diameter in inches = lbs per foot
DIS2:
1.09 x diameter in inches = lbs per foot
DIS4:
1.44 x diameter in inches = lbs per foot
Chimney design should provide adequate support to ensure components are not
overloaded.

THERMAL EXPANSION CALCULATIONS

Thermal expansion under normal operating temperatures can fatigue welds and joints
causing leakage. To calculate the thermal expansion, use the following formula:
[Length (ft) / 100] x [Temperature Rise degrees F / 100]
Example: [50' / 100] x [75°F / 100] = 0.375" Expansion
If the computed expansions between the fixed points is greater than 0.375" Security
recommends an adjustable or bellow length be installed.
SUPPORT METHODS AND HEIGHT LIMITS
1. Several support and guiding methods are used to anchor a chimney against upward,
downward and angular displacement.
2. These supports and guides used with thermal expansion devices, prevent bending
stresses on the chimney elbows and joints.
3. Supports and guiding methods and installation are described in SECTION
E-SUPPORTS. Certain limitations apply for proper installation of supports and
guides. See Tables 3, 4, 5 and Figures 3 and 4.
4. It is recommended to apply an exterior grade high heat paint to any plate supports,
full/half angle rings, wall supports/guides, aluminized outer maximum corrosion
protection against the elements. (Ex: Rustoleum V200 series High Heat Industrial
Aerosol)
NOTE: All the weight of the section must be supported by the inner flue. Never
support any chimney pipe from the outer casing.
