Passing element for metal tiles

When a fireplace or stove is to be installed in a residential building, first of all, you should think about creating a chimney. The arrangement of the passage of the pipe through the metal roof has its own nuances.

Conclusion of the furnace pipe through the metal tile

The output of the pipe through the metal tile (see photo) provides for the solution of two issues. The first one concerns the organization of the fireproof and the coating on it. To solve it, it will be necessary to isolate the materials prone to ignition and thereby prevent their contact with the surface of the pipe. The second problem is related to ensuring the tightness of the exit point of the chimney to the outside, to the roof. It can be solved by carrying out a number of activities during the execution of roofing work.

Everyone understands that the place of a through passage on the roof requires special attention from the owner of the property and a violation of the technology during the arrangement of the outlet can lead to water leakage during the first, even a little rain. , providing an abutment to the pipe, is best done where the roof ridge is located, since snow pockets do not appear in this place, and accordingly the likelihood that a place will appear here from where moisture will penetrate into the attic space decreases.

Although this option for arranging the passage of a pipe through the roof has its drawbacks. The main one is that the truss system will have to be performed either without a ridge beam at all, or to make this element with a gap. To implement such a design, you need to install additional supports for the rafters, but when they plan to use the attic space, they become an obstacle.

What experts do not recommend doing is to build a chimney through a metal tile where the slopes intersect in the vicinity of the valleys, since it is very difficult to make a high-quality abutment in this place and this place is already too vulnerable.

Brick pipe outlet protection

After the pipe has already been brought to the roof of the metal tile, it is necessary to ensure a tight fit of the roofing around. For such purposes, they use a roofing structure, which is called an internal apron, and for its installation, metal corners will be required that act as adjoining strips. They are purchased simultaneously with the purchase of components for the roof and they have the same color as the roofing material.

To make an inner apron, you will need tools:

• marker;
• a hammer;
• pliers;
• metal long ruler;
• grinder with a 2 mm disc.

Measures aimed at solving the problem of how to bypass the pipe with metal tiles and work to ensure a reliable connection of the roofing material to the pipe are carried out in stages:

• an abutment bar is applied to the surface of the chimney and a line is marked on the brick where this happens (similarly to this method, perform);
• using a metal ruler, the label is transferred to other sides of the chimney;
• using a grinder, a groove 2 mm wide is made along the marked line. A strobe is laid not at the place of the brickwork seam, but along its surface;
• work areas are cleaned of dust formed on them - it is best to rinse them with water and let them dry;
• the groove is filled with silicone sealant, preferably colorless, and an edge is inserted into it, fixing it with self-tapping screws. At the same time, installation work begins with a wall turned to the roof eaves, and not to the ridge. The remaining parts of the apron are fixed on the other sides of the pipe in the same way. If it is not possible to dock the planks, then in this case an overlap of 15 centimeters wide is performed;
• then a sheet of metal is placed under the lower edge of the apron - it is commonly called a tie, this element is necessary to divert precipitation in the direction of the drain or to the valley. Small bumpers are made along the edges of the tie with a hammer and pliers;
• after that, a metal tile is laid around the pipe on top of the apron and tie and proceed to install the outer apron.

When carrying out work, in order not to damage the roofing, it is necessary to observe safety measures: the builder must wear an assembly belt with a safety halyard, shoes with soft soles. You need to move along the crate, step into the deflection of the wave.

When the installation of the coating near the pipe is completed, an external apron is installed, which performs a more decorative function than a protective one. The arrangement of the outer apron is carried out in the same way as the inner one, only the abutment strips are attached to the pipe without chasing the walls.

The passage of metal tiles with an iron chimney

They sell a finished product in the distribution network - a passage through a metal tile roof for a chimney. It is a base made from a flat sheet of steel and
