Introduction
The Precision Draught Regulator - Z 130 from National Flues is engineered to provide a reliable solution for mitigating the unpredictable nature of chimney draughts. Designed for a variety of heating appliances – including solid fuel, gas, and oil – this regulator is a critical piece for ensuring consistent combustion and protecting your investment from the detrimental effects of fluctuating chimney pressure.
Design and Construction
Premium Materials:
- Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, the Z 130 is built to withstand the rigours of everyday use while resisting the corrosive effects of flue gases.
- Brass setting weights add not only to the attractive finish but also reinforce the structural integrity of the product.
Innovative Features:
- The cushioned damper provides noiseless operation, ensuring a quieter, more comfortable home environment.
- With options for overpressure dampers and retrofitting a motor controller, you can customise the function according to specific ventilation needs.
Benefits and Performance
A stable combustion process is essential for efficiency and safety. The Z 130 Precision Draught Regulator directly addresses this by maintaining a consistent draught, which in turn:

It is recommended to consult with a professional installer if you are unsure about any aspect of the process, ensuring that all safety norms are strictly followed.
Optional Accessories and Upgrades
While the Z 130 Precision Draught Regulator is a powerful product on its own, you may also want to consider additional accessories to further enhance your system's performance. Optional upgrades include:
- A motor controller retrofit, which can automatically adjust ventilation during periods of downtime, adding an extra layer of control and efficiency.
