ROOF SUPPORT<\/strong><\/p>\nThe roof support is supplied as a kit complete with two side plates for fixing to the roof trusses, a band to give lateral support to the chimney as it passes through the roof, and 3 self tapping screws, which are secured to the chimney through the band to give a load bearing capacity. When the plates are installed above the roof trusses as in Fig.1 the maximum number of pipes, which may be suspended from the roof support is 6 x 1m pipes.When the plates are attached below the trusses as in Fig.2 the maximum number of pipes, which may be suspended is 4 x 1m pipes.<\/p>\n
1. The band should be lowered down over the top of the Eco ICID pipe, and positioned so that the the side plates are resting on top of the roof trusses as in Fig.1 or below the roof trusses in the case of Fig. 2 .The recommended position is always as per Fig.1 where circumstances allow this solution.<\/p>\n
2. The band should then be tightened using the nut and bolt provided.<\/p>\n
3. Using the holes pre-drilled in the roof support band, drill 3mm holes in the outer case of the chimney section (drill bit should be set for a depth no greater than 10mm to avoid any damage to the liner of the chimney)<\/p>\n
4. Use the self tapping screws provided to secure the clamp band to the outer casing of the chimney section.<\/p>\n
Please note: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the joist to which the roof support is being attached is load bearing and capable of withstanding the weight of the system being installed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][mk_padding_divider][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.schiedel.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/07\/icid_load_bearing_roof_support.jpg” image_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Masonry Wall Sleeves”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]MASONRY WALL SLEEVES: ECO ICID TWIN WALL INSULATED CHIMNEY SYSTEM INSTALLATION<\/strong><\/p>\nMasonry Wall Sleeves must be used to protect the building where the chimney passes through a masonry wall (see Fig. 2 & 3). The 90\u00b0 version is supplied as a straight length whereas the 135\u00b0 version is mitred at 45 degrees on one end. The sleeve should be cut down to the correct length on site to fit flush with the wall (see Fig. 1 & 2). The sleeve should be adequately weatherproofed, using a good quality building mastic and rope fibre.

With this new component available in either bright annealed steel finish or matt black to match the outer case of the chimney, the installer is able to install the chimney faster. The wall band can simply be lowered over the top of the pipe section, and fixed in place without having to remove the pipe section first.
