Hello, I'm going to install a ventilation system in the house and they want to run the pipes down to the basement through the chimney. But as you can see in the pictures, the pipe that was attached to the oil boiler must go down. What is the easiest way to proceed?
Yes, but now my pipe is not exactly undersized, so it weighs a lot. I think I need to take it down and cut it into 1.5m lengths. Can't bring a crane here to lift the pipe out of the chimney.
You can take the pipe in any direction you want. The pipe in the picture has a 4mm wall thickness, I think. I can't recall there being any major problems getting it out upwards with two people. But that depends on how weak one is, of course.....
Great, thanks for the quick and good response. It is just over 6m so I'll have to take it down and cut it. Another question for those who have done the same thing, there's nothing to consider after removing the pipe, regarding the chimney, I'm thinking!
Okay. In my case, the entire conduit pipe rested on the ceiling panel, so the pipe lay loosely in the insulation. However, I believe the sheet metal was anchored up in the attic....
No, in my case, it's one whole construction, i.e., they are welded together, hence it's somewhat heavier than what it was when you did it! But when you took down your pipe, did you leave the insulation and outer plate remaining in the chimney?
