The importance of stainless steel flue pipes for chimneys: safety and durability for your installations 

The smoke evacuation system is an essential component in the installation of chimneys and stoves, ensuring safe, efficient, and long-lasting operation. Among the available options, stainless steel pipes stand out as one of the most reliable and versatile solutions. In this article, we will explore why stainless steel flue pipes are the ideal choice for any installation, highlighting their main benefits and the added value offered by the V2 certification. 

Advantages of stainless steel flue pipes for chimneys 

Resistance to high temperatures: 

Stainless steel pipes are capable of withstanding the high temperatures generated during combustion in furnaces, solid fuel stoves, steam boilers, hot air generators, gas or oil boilers, as well as commercial, industrial, and sports installations. 

Exceptional durability: 

Thanks to its composition, stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, even in humid environments or with frequent condensation. It is scratch-resistant, recyclable, and possesses high hardness, making it highly resistant to impact. This makes it a long-term investment, reducing the need for maintenance or replacement and extending the lifespan of all products made from this material. 

Versatility in applications: 

These pipes are ideal for both interior and exterior heating systems, as they can withstand adverse weather conditions, including rain and extreme temperature changes. 

Modern aesthetics: 

In addition to their functionality, the smooth and shiny finish of stainless steel adds a touch of modernity and elegance to any installation, making them perfect for both residential and commercial projects. 

V2 certification: quality and safety assurance 

At Exojo, all our stainless steel pipes are V2 certified, ensuring maximum resistance to corrosion caused by exposure to combustion gases, high temperatures, and humidity. This certification is granted after rigorous testing that evaluates the material’s performance under extreme conditions. These tests are conducted in accordance with Annex A.2 of the harmonised standard EN 1856-1:2009, guaranteeing: 

  • Extended lifespan of the evacuation system. 
  • High-quality production. 
  • Compliance with the most demanding market standards. 

The V2 certification is an added value that positions our products as a market reference, ideal for those seeking quality and reliability. With our products certified under the EN 1856-1 standard (for double-wall products), the EN 1856-2 standard (for single-wall products), and the V2 certification guaranteeing corrosion resistance even under extreme conditions, we ensure the longevity and high quality of our solutions. Whether for home heating systems or industrial installations, our stainless steel flue pipes are the perfect choice for those looking for long-term quality, safety, and efficiency.
