Structural Supports and Guides
Several supporting and guiding methods can be used to anchor a chimney for horizontal, vertical and offset displacement. These supports and
guides used with thermal expansion devices prevent bending stresses on the chimney elbows and joints. (see
Thermal Expansion
Section
for
details) Supports and guiding methods are described in this Section.
Base Support
The Base Support is the most common
support. It can be used on any floor level
as a Vertical or Horizontal support. When
used to support the chimney in vertical
runs, it is attached to the floor by means
of anchors (by others, Ø 5/16” anchors or
bolts min. size). It can also be used to
support a horizontal run anchored
through wall or resting on a non-
combustible rigid structural brace (by
others, see
Rigid Structural Braces
Specifications
for details).
The Base Support assembly consists of a
9" chimney interior section (7" effective
length) that is welded to a steel plate.
The chimney section has female and
male ends forming just like any standard
length. It can be connected to any other
piece of piping with proper locking bands
and sealant.
(see
Chimney Joint
Connection
Section
for
specific
instructions)
It is supplied with both an Interior Locking
Band a special External Finishing Band
(top female side) and an Insulation Strip.
(if applicable)
Installation :
1. Plate is secured to floor, wall or
structure with proper anchors. (See
Table 6
for Maximum Supported
Chimney Height (MCH) per support and
Table 7
for Maximum Horizontal Spacing
between Supports (MHS)).
2. Pipe sections are then attached to the
Base Support Interior Section in the
same manner as described in
Chimney
Joint Connection
Section
depending on
the venting application.
3. Install insulation strips (when required)
and External Finishing Bands.
The Base Support is intended only for
attachment to NON COMBUSTIBLE
materials such as steel structure,
concrete or other types of masonry.
The Base Support is not suitable for
attachment to wood or combustible
structures.
