Introduction
The EuroSW1 Damper Unit is an essential component for anyone seeking a reliable and efficient connecting flue system. Manufactured by National Flues, this damper unit is specifically designed to connect your appliance seamlessly with flue liners, chimney stacks, or twin-wall flue systems. In addition, its integrated damper arm and blade not only regulate the flow of flue gases but also help maintain an optimal flue draft, enhancing the overall performance of your heating appliance.
Performance and Durability
One of the standout features of the EuroSW1 Damper Unit is its construction from superior 316 grade stainless steel. This high-quality material ensures that the unit is robust and durable enough to withstand extreme temperatures—up to 600°C. The use of a continuous weld seam guarantees that the installation remains leak-free, thus minimising potential hazards and ensuring that your flue system operates safely and efficiently. Whether you are running a gas, oil, or solid fuel appliance, rest assured that your damper unit is built to endure.
- Durability: The choice of 316 grade stainless steel means your unit is resistant to corrosion and harsh weather conditions.
- Efficiency: With a continuous weld design, the EuroSW1 promises a secure connection between your appliance and the flue, aiding in optimal gas flow and reducing energy wastage.
Installation Guidelines
Proper installation is key to maximising the effectiveness and safety of the EuroSW1 Damper Unit. The installation process is straightforward, yet certain precautions must be observed to ensure success:
Key Installation Steps
1. Orientation: Always position the unit so that the smaller diameter end is facing downward, which helps in containing any condensates.
2. Clearances: Maintain a clearance of at least 540mm from any combustible material, such as wood or plasterboard, to comply with safety standards.
3. Jointing: While the unit features a friction-fit design that typically does not require sealing, you may apply a high-temperature silicone or fire cement sealant at the appliance connection if additional security is desired.
4. Painting Cut Sections: If the damper unit is cut to size, ensure that all exposed surfaces are coated with high-temperature paint to prevent corrosion.
Warnings
- Do not attempt to install the unit through ceilings or combustible walls; use the correct flue sections designed for such installations.
- Regular maintenance, including annual chimney sweeping, is recommended to prevent the build-up of soot and residue, especially in solid fuel installations.
