NOTE!
Read the installation manual carefully before starting chimney installation. During chimney installation pay special attention to the following:
 build chimney according to the technical documentation and design respecting all
requirements of the construction law referring to chimneys;
 connect certified heating unit in proper technical condition to the chimney;  install complete and original accessories of ICOPAL WULKAN chimney system;  comply with requirements included in the installation manual;
 get the chimney approved by a recognized chimney inspector;
 the distance between the external surface of the chimney block (outer element)
and flammable elements of the building construction should be minimum 50 mm;
 mineral wool ofminimum thickness equaling 30 mm should be applied in places
of chimney penetration through the floors;
 installation openings in floors and roof must be in perpendicular line;
 mortar of minimum strength totaling 2,5 MPa should be used for joining chimney
blocks (outer elements);
 acid resistant putty - Rudomal KV - should be used for joining internal chamotte
elements.
NOTE!
When storing chimney elements and later during construction work, the system elements should be protected against rain or snowfalls. Do not use damp or frozen elements.

1
On the foundation made according to the building project we apply waterproofing layer (FOUNDATION SPEED PROFILE SBS MEMBRANE).3
On the prepared base we place the element with condensation outlet KJ / KJZ, remembering that the outlet should facethe direction where the ventilating grid will be installed. Special attention should be paid to the correct perpendicular po-sition of the element as this is the initial element of the whole chimney chamotte flue.
2
On the mortar we apply the first chimney block (outer element) and fill it in with concrete, remembering that the level and perpendicular posi-tion should be carefully set. The base of the chimney can be made of other available materials on condition that its parameters are not worse than of the base made according to the method described above (blocks or con-crete screed).4
In the first chimney block (outer element) placed on the chimney basewe cut a central opening of 20 cm x 14 cm where the ventilating grid will be installed. The ventilating grid must allow a free flow of the air. We use a grinder for concrete to cut a chimney block which we mount on mortar.
5
We make an opening in the next chimney blocks in order to mount thecleaning door on the cleaning pipe tee (chimney pipe for attachment of cleaning door). The opening should be:
for ICOPAL WULKAN C / CI systems:
 Ø140mm, Ø200mm - 160mm x 290mm opening (width x height)  Ø250mm - 235mm x 310mm opening (width x height)
for ICOPAL WULKAN C-eko / CI-eko systems:
 Ø140mm, Ø200mm - 130mm x 270mm opening (width x height)
6
We prepare acid resistant putty to bond chamotte elements according to the manual attachedto the package.
We need approx. 0,4 l of water per 3 kg of dry putty. The amount of prepared putty should be adju-sted to the progress of chimney installation work (at temperature 20oC the putty will be usable for 90
min.). After thorough stirring of the amount of the putty that is needed, we wait 5 minutes and stir the content again to receive the uniform blend. Hardening time at temperature 20oC is 24 hours. The
temperature of application: from +5oC to +25oC.
7
We placed the first chimney block (outer element) with the opening forcleaning door on mortar. Next, on the prepared acid resistant putty we mount the cleaning pipe tee.
ATTENTION!
While joining chamotte elements with acid resistant putty, the surfaces which are to be adhered should be moistened.

8
We mount another chimney block (outer element) with an opening forthe door on mortar - the opening should be in downward direction. For ICOPAL WULKAN CI / CI-eko supports should be placed in the joint un-der the chimney insulation (4 flats or bars). For ICOPAL WULKAN C / C-eko the upper part of the pipe tee should be stabilized using a steel stabilizer.
9
For ICOPAL WULKAN CI / CI-eko system westabili-ze internal pipes with chimney insulation, mainta-ining the order of installation: into the chimney block we insert the chimney insulation and then an internal pipe. For ICOPAL WULKAN C / C-eko system the internal pipes shoul be stabilized with a steel stabilizing element.
10
We mount the next chimney blocks (outer elements) and internal chamotte pipes remembering that:Â while joining chamotte pipes, each time we smoothen the internal surface of the joint with a moist
sponge, removing the excess putty inside the pipeline;
 we cannot allow for the mortar to get in between the chamotte pipe and the chimney block (outer
ele-ment) - there must be no permanent fixing of the chimney block and the internal pipe.
11
After reaching the assumed height, we make an opening in chimney blocks (outer elements), inorder to mount a pipe tee for flue gas (chimney pipe for attachment of flue gas). The openings in the chimney blocks should be made in such a way that the diameter of the opening would be 7 cm bigger than the pipe tee diameter. Next we mount the pipe tee for flue gas.
12
We fill in the empty space between the chimney block (outer element) and a pipe tee for fluegas with mineral wool in order to provide an expansion joint.
14
In the part of the chimney above the roofwe recommend using the prefabricated elements imitating brick made of colour concre-te in brick colour. We join the elements using a thin-layer mortar for concrete elements (eg. frost resistant flexible glue).
13
Next we proceed as in point 9.IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L I N ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L I N ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L I N ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L I N ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A

After finishing chimney installation, the remains of the acid resistant putty should be removed from the bottom of theflue gas pipeline and to enable the outflow of the condensate. The chimney should be left to dry up completely and to achieve full durability of the mortar joints.
19
After chimney installation and finishing of the external surface, we leave the chimney for approx. 2 weeks to have fullycured mortar joints and all chimney elements totally dry. When firing up the boiler for the first time, make sure that the increase of temperature is even during longer time period and no sudden temperature changes occur. This will allow a slow process of initial chimney heating, which will have a positive impact on its later functioning.
Important notes concerning Ceramic Chimney Pipes (CCP)
1. Before mounting, check CCP carefully - do not use dama-ged CCPs.
2. To join CCP use only Rudomal KV.
3. Heat expansion of ceramic pipes should be taken into consi-deration (the higher the chimney and the higher the temper-ature of fumes, the larger expansion of the CCP). That is why proper expansion joints should be provided.
 in the space around attachment pipe tee for flue gas (KS pipe
tee - pipe tee to which a pipe from a boiler is attached) and chimney lining block (outer element), a mineral wool expan-sion joint should be used;
 in the place where the fumes conduit from the boiler is
atta-ched to KS pipe tee, a heat resistant ceramic cord should be ap-plied (the expansion joint should be approx. 5-10 mm);
 the attachment pipe should be mounted axially to the KS
pipe tee;
 the depth of the insertion of the attachment pipe from the
boiler to KS pipe tee should be max. 60 mm.
4. Direct exposure of CCP to flame (e.g. during provisional he-ating of the building site, when the boiler overheats or when it has faulty construction, or if the chimney pipeline is
inappro-priate) can lead to cracks for which the manufacturer does not take responsibility resulting from the guarantee.
The installation manual provided by the manufacturer and referring to the purchased chimney system is an insepara-ble element of the guarantee. The following recommenda-tions should be met:
 transport and storage as recommended by the manufacturer;  no defects of the chimney elements should be confirmed
when purchase takes place;
 build chimney according to the technical documentation and
design respecting all requirements of the construction law re-ferring to chimneys;
 connect certified heating unit in proper technical condition
to the chimney;
 install complete and original accessories of ICOPAL WULKAN
chimney systems;
 comply with requirements included in the installation manual;  attach a filled in identification plate to the chimney;
 get the chimney approved by a recognized chimney
inspec-tor.
15
If the outlet of fumes from the chimney is placed higher than 100 cm above the roof, thechim-ney should be reinforced by applying steel rods in proper openings of the chimchim-ney blocks. In order to do this, during the chimney installation the openings in chimney block corners should be fil-led in and plugged minimum 100 cm below the roof. The special openings where reinforcement ste-el rods are inserted should be filled in with thin cement mortar.
16
On the last chimney block we mount the concrete cap on mortar. The chamotte pipe shouldfreely go through the opening in the cap and protrude sufficently to mount a diffuser (chim-ney pot) on it. The installed diffuser should be approx. 1-2 cm above the concrete cap. If necessary we cut the pipe to adjust its length and mount the diffuser using high temperature silicone.
17
After finishing the external surfaces of the chimney (e.g. using plaster or board finishing) we mount the remaining steel elements of the chimney system.ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L I N ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L IN ST A LL AT IO N M A N U A L

Chimney height above the roof
(according to Polish construction law)
Chimney pipes must be let out above the roof to a height ensuring the correct chimney draught (stack effect). In order to achieve this effect, the following rules should be fulfilled:
 on flat roofs with sloping angle of not more than 12°,
inde-pendently of the construction of the roof and the roofing ma-terials used, the chimney outlets shoul be at least 60 cm abo-ve the leabo-vel of the roof ridge or the edges of buildings with sunken roofs.
 on pitched roofs where the angle of slope exceeds 12° and
roof covering is:
a) flammable - the outlets should be at least 60 cm above the
roofs ridge
b) non-flammable, burn-resistant - the outlets should be at
least 30 cm above the roof surface and the distance from the top of the chimney to the roof measured horizontally should be at least 100 cm.
 when the chimney is situated close to obstructing building
elements (e.g. a roof with a slope over 12° can be considered an obstruction) - for the proper work of the chimney, their outlets should be placed above the roof according to the fol-lowing rules:
a) above the plane drawn at an angle of 12° downwards from
the obstruction or roof ridge for chimneys situated at a distan-ce of 3 to 10 m from the obstruction (in pitched roofs);
b) at least at the level of upper edge of the obstruction (roof
rid-ge) for chimneys situated 1,5 to 3 m from the obstruction
c) at lest 30 cm higher than upper edge of the obstruction
(ro-of ridge) for ro(ro-ofs situated at a distance (ro-of up to 1,5 m from this obstruction. ICOPAL S.A. ul. Łaska 169/197 98-220 Zduńska Wola tel. +48 43 823 41 11 fax +48 43 823 40 25 www.icopal.pl Product Manager mob. +48 691 519 242 e-mail: plmwa@icopal.com www.icopal.pl
