Heating furnace systems need regular care. One of the obligatory procedures is the periodic cleaning of the chimney, which over time is clogged, ingible soot.

For this task, a special rash can be used, with which the inner walls of the chimney can be cleaned.

What is a gross for cleaning, what does it look and what is it?

onestructively ERS consists of such parts:

1. Brush. ABOUT bottom elementalmost always has a round shape thatchoose from the inner walls of flue pipes.Can be performed from metal, plastic or nylon.
2. Sinker. Used only if the brush is attached to the cable. If it is fixed to the telescopic six, then the ship is not needed.Approximate weight weights - 2-3 kg.Purpose - Weigh a lightweight brush. Without additional cargo, the Yers on the cable simply will not normally consider even a light layer of plaque.
3. T. ros or pen. The brush is fastened to this element, and it is lowered into the chimney.

Of the main qualitative characteristics, you can allocate:

1. D. lina cable (handles).Cables are usually used for 10-15 meters, handles - 1-1.5 meters.
2. The diameter of the brush (rectangular products are found, but less often than round).May be from 20 to 250 mm.The most common range is 150-200.

Types I. hell by material and by type of construction

ABOUT distraned differences between all products are held in 2 nuances:

1. The material from which the brush is made.
2. The method to which the brush will fall into the chimney.

By material - Now options are used:

1. Metal. Such enshits serve longer, more durable and reliable. Of the minuses, it is possible to highlight less convenient use: if the metal bristle is closed for something - it will be more difficult to "release". In addition, the metal products are more expensive than plastic (but since the value of any rams rarely exceeds 2000 rubles - this is not critical).
2. Plastic. Such products are easier to make independently - it is done quickly and easily (as exactly as described below). Plastic brushes are easily and quickly wear out and break. In addition, they are much worse coped with complex and solar clouds.
3. Nylon. A relatively new option, in fact, an intermediate solution between plastic and metal.

In the waywhich brush falls intochimney:

1. On the cable / rope. It can only be used from above - the ERS is lowered into the pipe under the weight of sore. Option is relatively simple butbadly Suitable for cleaning horizontal sections.The cable can be metallic, nylon or rope.
2. On a flexible cable (as well as cleaning sewer pipes). Of the advantages: you can use both on top and below, and on horizontal sites.
3. On a rigid handle (rod).Universal and more Efficient option - allows you to quickly clean the accumulated soot, can be used both on vertical and horizontal sites.The length of the handle is usually adjustable - for this they are made by telescopic, and if necessaryfold or lay out.

How to choose the right ers for chimney?

Summarize the basic rules of choice:

1. Hard pen or cable? Ideally - have both options in the farm: they are inexpensive, and it will work much more convenient.If you need to choose something one, and there are no hatches in the chimney - it is better to take a cable. If there are hatches in the chimney, and it is low - it is more convenient to use a rigid handle.
2. What is the brush material to choose? For stainless chimneys, you need to choose only plastic - it does not scratch the stainless steel. For brick and asbestos chimneys - it is better to take a metal or nylon brush.
3. Which diameter of the brush should befor round chimney? Selected under the diameter of the pipe.
4. What diameter of the brush should be for a square / rectangular chimney? To choose the right choice, you need to measure the length and width of the chimney, and select a brush with a diameter equal to the larger side.
5. What should be the length of the cable / handle? Selectsunder the length (height) of the chimney. It is not necessary to take the cable / handle to the full height: cleaning is carried out not only on top or bottom (from the fireplace or furnace), but also through the hatches that are located on different parts of the chimney.

Where is it for sale and how much does it cost?

E. rshiki of various types and sizes are sold in stores that trade equipment for fireplaces, furnaces, baths.

Such a tool is relatively cheap:

• polypropylene ERS, diameter 100-120-200 mm: cost - about 700-1000 rubles;
• plastic ERS, with a diameter of 200-250 mm: cost - about 1700-2000 rubles;
• metal ERS, with a diameter of 150-200 mm: Cost - about 1500-1800 rubles;
• metal ERS, with a diameter of 250 mm: cost - about 2200-2500 rubles.

Please note: the amounts provided only for the Yers and the goods itself. The cable or telescopic extension is usually sold separately. The approximate value of the extension cord for 1-1.5 meters is about 400-600 rubles, cable (for 10-15 meters) - up to 100-200 rubles.

The finished set (brush itself, cable or extension cord and weight) - will cost 1500-2500 rubles in the area.

From the manufacturers in the CIS market, you can meet:

How to make homemade ersh?

To clean the pipe stove, not necessarily go to the nearest store. Homemade rash is done quite simple and quickly. True, the effectiveness of such a product is likely to be lower than special purchased. Therefore, it is suitable for cleaning not very dirty chimney.

There are quite a few ways to create an ears with their own hands. Below we give 5 step-by-step instructions:

1. From a plastic bottle for a round chimney.
2. From plastic bottle and plywood / boards for rectangular / square chimney.
3. From the broom.
4. From the metal brush from the Bulgarian.
5. Metal cable.

In all cases we will need:

1. Metal cable (about 2-3 mm thick, length - more or at least as much as height in chimney)with carbine.
2. Georgic weighing about 3 kg - this size so that it easily passed into the chimney. For example, it can be a small metal rectangle, or an old pancake from dumbbells, or a plastic sand bottle.
3. Motor wires, a diameter of about 2-4 mm, or a metal stud (length of about 10-12 cm, a diameter of about 5 mm), with unscrewed eyelets from two sides.
4. The product from which we will make a brush with your own hands.

Problem point: There is a bottle and wire in the farm, and something for cargo, and the cable can be purchased in the nearest store, if there are no houses. But the suitable stud finding it will be more difficult. Therefore, instead it is easier to take a wire. It will need to be twisted several times to get a 5-7 mm thick and 10-12 cm long (that is, use instead of a stud).

From plastic bottle for round chimney

In this case, we will make a brush from an empty plastic bottle, a volume of 1.5-2 liters (suitable for cleaning the chimney with a diameter of up to 200 mm).

Step-by-step instruction:

1. In the lid and at the bottom of both bottles burn out, the hole is drilled or made through the hole. Its diameter should be equal to the diameter of the hairpin.
2. Boca of both bottles cut through. It is necessary to make slots without reaching the neck and to the bottom literally 1-2 cm. Between each slot, make a distance of about 1.5-2 cm.
3. The heel is inserted into the holes, "tightening" on itself 2 parts of the bottle. The cut-off sides are bended, forming a circle of bent ribbons. It is their edges that will be considered soot from the walls.
4. On both sides of the hairpins are winding eyes. On the upper eye - the cable is attached. On the bottom - the cargo.

From plastic bottle for round chimney (video)

From plastic bottle for rectangular / square chimney

The instruction will suit those who have a square or rectangular chimney.

To create a brush for such a hesh, we will need:

1. Plywood leaf. Plywood is not very thick, there will be a small sheet with a thickness of 6-12 mm.
2. Plastic bottle, volume of 5 liters.
3. Screws (such to be able to make both pieces of plywood each other) - 5-10 pieces.

The cut plastic performs between plywood sheets, the photo is not very good it can be seen.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. From plywood you need to cut 2 identical sheets, in size for 1-2 cm less than the size of the chimney. Example: a rectangular hole, with a size of 260x130 mm - weep 2 pieces of plywood with a size of 240x120 mm.
2. Sorry and bottom of the bottle are cut off, after which the cut is made on the side.
3. Plastic is inflicted (rectangular sheet is obtained).
4. From the disinued plastic sheet, a piece is cut, a size of 3-6 mm is greater than the chimney hole. Example: The chimney hole has a size of 260x130 mm, from plastic, we cut the sheet 265x135 mm.
5. On the perimeter of the plastic sheet with scissors (or knife) with a distance of 1-1.5 cm are madecuts, 5-10 mm long. It is these narrow parts that will count the walls from the walls.
6. P eraser leaf is placed between 2 cut slices of plywood - so that the "bristle" stick out to the outsideat the same distance on each side.
7. Slices of plywood and plastic sheet between them - bolted bolted.
8. The center is drilled in the center, which inserts the hairpin or serner wire inserted(or love anya other detail on which the cable can be fastened and the cargo - with plywood it is easier).

This option can be improved. To do this, cut no 2 piece of plywood, and 3, and 2 sheets of plastic with fine cuts. In this case, we will have 2 layers of "bristles" (and 3 layers of plywood).

From broom

FROM you can make an earsk from the old broom. An important nuance: we will fit the round broom with synthetic (polypropylene) dense navy.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. The tip of the broom is removed (or cut).
2. The bristle is painted in such a way that all the vile sticks out in different directions (like a toilet enshik).
3. In the part on which the bristle is assembled - the hole with a diameter of about 5-7 mm (under the heel or wire) is propagated or drilled.
4. The hole is inserted with a stiletto with unscrewed eyeles (or twisted wire).
5. On the eyes (or for a wire) was attached on one side the cable, on the other - the Georgian.

Metal Brush For Bulgarian

IN ariant is suitable if you have a disk brush for the grinder, and it is suitable for a chimney in diameter.

In this case, the cargo is mounted for one axis, to another - cable.

Metal cable (complex version)

The instruction is suitable for those who have a welding machine. By such a scheme, you can make a fairly effective rash, which will not give up

To create a brush, you will need:

1. Metal cable, with a diameter of about 10-15 mm.
2. Welding machine.
3. Saw on metal.
4. Pliers.
5. Lamps for wire (not necessarily).
6. Threaded heap, about 8-12 cm long (and better - bolt with full thread, 8-12 cm long).
7. Nuts on the heel (or bolt), 5-7 pieces or more (depending on how tight bristle should be obtained).

Step-by-step instruction:

1. 2-5 pieces are cut from the metal cable. The length of each piece is approximately 5-10 mm more than the chimney diameter. You can also take and more, and then, if necessary, cut off extensive impositions.
2. Trimming broken pliers.
3. On one end, the hairpins screws the nut (so that the thread is slightly coming out of it). It will be the lower "support" for the first row of bristles. If you use a bolt - you do not need to wind the nut: the role of "support" will play the head.
4. On top of the nut, a piece of wire is laid (from the planned cable), and the cross will be twisted (so that she wrapped the hairpin). Slices of wire at the same time
5. There are still pieces of wire, and wind up the same way that the result is a round layer of bristles. An important nuance: the bristles should strike evenly, forming a smooth circle.
6. The nut is screwed on top, and tightly presses the wedged wire (bristle of the herochik) to the first nut (or the bolt head).
7. In the same way, several strata layers are made. Each subsequent layer is fixed with the nut. It will be enough to do 3-4 rows.
8. From the bottom and on top of the eye are welded - for fastening the cargo and the cable, for which the enshik will fall into the pipe. As an option - they can be attached to the thread.

What you need to know and do before cleaning: fundamental rules

Before proceeding to work - you need to know (and follow) The basic rules:

1. Cleaning is carried out before the heating season (ideally - before each, at least with the aim of prevention). So you can prepare the pipe stove to efficiently work, and you will be sure that it will not be blocks, leaves, garbage, soot or bird nests.
2. It is best to carry out work in the windless and dry (and ideally - also a warm) day. Therefore, at the beginning of autumn, it is already worth paying attention to the forecast, choosing a suitable date for cleaning.
3. The work on the roof must be carried out with insurance (safety belt), in a convenient non-slip shoe.
4. Prepare a flashlight more powerful - with it, you can see the state of the chimney and the results of your work.
5. To work it is better to change clothes into closed clothes, which will not be sorry to be stained. Even with the most neat cleaning of the soot, everything will go somewhere.
6. Use the protection tools for the eyes and respiratory organs: Purpose glasses and respirator. Naturally, there will be no big harm from the soot, but sneeze or wash his eyes from her - not very nice.
7. Since all the garbage and soot will fly down - all holes on the chimney (hatches), as well as the furnace - should be closed. If the fireplace is cleaning with an open furnace, it should be tightened with a polyethylene film.
8. The cleaning process is done from top to bottom. If you first clean the bottom of the chimney (through the furnace) - then when cleaning the upper part, the falling debris can again pollute the clean bottom.

How to clean the chimney of the Yershik: Step by step instructions

The chimney cleaning by the Yersh is as follows:

1. Overalls, work shoes, gloves, glasses, respirator.
2. Before starting work, you can look into the chimney, highlighting it with a flashlight. So you can appreciate its condition in advance and see where it is badly polluted.
3. All chimney and firing hatches are closed, except for a hole through which cleaning will be made.
4. Deflector (or sparking) is dismantled if there is.
5. The brush (no matter, on the cable or on the handle) is lowered from above, through the chimney outlet. Cleaning is done up-down movements. If there are blockages in the process - it is better to use a loader on the cable (without a brush).
6. Periodically evaluate the result of the work, peering into the pipe.
7. When the upper part of the pipe is clean - go below, to the hatch, and work through it.
8. Upon completion of cleaning, the furnace opens, and the garbage referred to it is removed.

Ideally, it is worth combining two methods of cleaning: mechanical and chemical. First, clean the smokyk chimney, and then use any of the means that is set in the firebox.

Cleaning process (video)

Advantages and disadvantages of application compared to other cleaning methods

If we consider existing methods of cleaning the chimney and compare them using the ears, then this option has a number of disadvantages:

• the brush has to work independently, while chemical cleaners - you only need to set fire to the furnace;
• even as attentive work does not guarantee that it will be possible to remove all sediments;
• work occupies a lot of time, even if the smoke pipe is direct and low;
• the work is inconvenient, unpleasant, physically complicated, and if it is necessary to work on the roof - also dangerous;
• cleaning is safe to spend only in dry (and ideally - weakly and warm) weather to reduce the risk of falling from the roof.

ERS for chimney cleaning is the main tool of chimney "hygiene". Its design is similar to the brush to clean the bottles - between two twisted thick wires, which form a central rod, perpendicular to the rod are bristles made of thin wire. The bristles create a few round layers (2-3). The length of the bristles determines the diameter of the pipe that this tool is effectively clears. The central rod from one end has an eye, and from the other - thread. UCHO and thread allow you to attach extension cords that allow you to draw this tool inside the pipe to cherish the soot from the walls.

Ersh of plastic

Some suggest the manufacture of rams with their own hands. from plastic bottles. Unfortunately, such a device with a plastic content in most cases will be ineffective, since the sediments of soot on the chimney walls can be the hardest tool from the plastic. Especially durable soot deposition after repeated firebox woods of pine and other coniferous breeds.

Not only the hardness of the cleansing element of the roe, but also the strength of the attachment of this element. Significant efforts arising from the flirting of the heroes inside the chimney will quickly destroy the plastic elements of its design.

The same applies to the instruments with plastic bristles. Such rashes are cheaper than fully metallic, but in terms of cleaning quality and the service life is noticeably inferior to all-metal. The rams with plastic bristles are only suitable for cleaning chimneys after applying chemical cleaning tools. Since under the influence of such products, soot becomes fragile and is much easier to remove from the walls, it can be quite enough with a rash with plastic bristles.

If the chemical agents have repeatedly used, and there is confidence that the strength of the sediments of the soot is small, you can make the earsik with your own hands and clean the chimney.

Manufacture of plastic

For the manufacture of Yers, it will be necessary:

• thin steel cable, longer than chimney, 2-3 mm thick;
• two plastic bottles of 1-2 l depending on how the diameter chimpets must be cleared;
• wire with a diameter of 1-2 mm;
• used or spoiled welding electrode with a diameter of 3-5 mm or a piece of straightened wire of the same diameter and length;
• two covers from plastic bottle;
• weight weighing 2-5 kg, such that easily passed into the pipe that must be cleared;
• cut the wall of each bottle from the bottom to the neck with a step of 1.5-2 cm like the Chinese lantern;
• in each lid for the bottle in the center, make a hole so that it would be possible to insert the electrode or the same piece of wire;
• screw tightly covers on the bottle;
• insert one bottle into another lid on one side;
• attach the electrode or a piece of wire with one end to the goods so that, holding the electrode, it was possible to raise the cargo;
• make in the center of the bottoms of both bottles a hole of a piece of wire or heated electrode;
• reliable electrode attached to the load or a similar piece of wire through holes in the bottoms and caps of bottles;
• maximize the caps and sniffs of bottles and fix their position, bent into the ring free end of a piece of wire or electrode;
• cut the sliced \u200b\u200bwalls of the bottles, pulling them out;
• attach the cable to the ring on the electrode or the same piece of wire using the clamp;
• to the free end of the cable, they strongly with any handle for which it is convenient to hold the cable.

It can be said that the flush to clean the chimney is the main tool that is used for the hygiene of this design. Something like an adaptation looks like a toothbrush for cleansing bottles, the principle and in general the species is very similar, naturally only the dimensions are much more. The ERS consists of the main spire (he is central perpendicular), on which several circles of large "bristles" are made. Often use thin steel wire, in some cases it is allowed only to use soft wire types.

How to choose the right ers for chimney?

Despite the overall overall understanding of the cleaning procedure and the representation of the entire device, many do not recognize the significant factors when buying finished products. It is necessary to take into account the fact that the tool is not suitable for each type of channel. For example, for brick structures, it will be suitable with a rigid "bristle", where the "drunk" soot is quite tightly "sat down" on the walls. If you buy for a steel pipe, take up soft tools, with soft wire or plastic, nylon. Otherwise, the rigid wire is the likelihood of damage to the structure. As you can see the nuances of choosing the toddler enough and it is important to pay attention to them.

Brick chimney

Where is it for sale and how much does it cost?

You can buy such an adaptation in any economic store. Behind the lack, you can buy the ERS for your chimney on the Internet, as a rule, the cost is not seriously different. The average price is within 2,000 rubles.

How to make homemade ersh?

If the price seemed to you too overestimated, you can make such products personally. The main thing is to determine which form you need and for which pipe. Three main types of brushes distinguish:

• ERS is a classic metal brush, in the form of a cylinder. Additional devices running in the kit may be like a simple long rope, as a rule, 5 meters, or the weight of the weight of up to 2 kg. with extension.
• An ordinary brush equipped with steel or nylon "bristles". It has a special handle.
• Scraper. It saves when there are spots of soot on the channels, with which two previous options do not cope. May be any suitable form.

From plastic bottle

Homemade ERS for can be made from a conventional water bottle. Production Stages:

• In the center of the bottom, we put a small hole.
• The same diameter is done by a hole in the lid.
• Next, cut the bottle into small tapes, and fix the stud with the hook on one side.
• On the other hand, the hairpin is also inserted, which together are connected.
• With the help of nuts to squeeze the bottle and attach to the weight of the girc.

The process of manufacturing plastic rod

This design is suitable for cleaning metal, ceramic channels.

From broom

The chimney to clean the chimney can be made from the usual plastic broom, which is now the network is almost in every farm. Stage of manufacture:

• Cut the cuttings.
• We straighten the "bristle", you can use a hairdryer. After the dishonsers, clamp the hairpin with the washer.
• From the side of the cutter, screw the hairpin with a crochet.
• The design is delayed on both sides, after the cable with the ship is mounted.

Excellent are suitable for cleaning wide channels.

Metal Brush For Bulgarian

Metal ERS or brush can be made even from such a device. At the moment, the price is not so big, so we recommend buying a finished product. If you decide to make a hero to clean the chimney with your own hands, remember that you need two sheets, a hairpin with carvings and nuts. Also, do not forget as "bristles" to use hard wire or in some cases nylon.

Metal cable complex option

For cleaning chimneys, you can use the cable. The manufacturing process is much more complicated and requires certain efforts and skills. You need a cable, a diameter is better from 1 cm. The edge is about 10 cm. Flashes on separate fibers. They are elected in different directions, and so that the form keeps for cleansing the pipe, two plates are taken and compressed. It is necessary to attach counterweight to the lower edge to break lumps and sputum growths.

Cleaning chimney

The regular cleaning of the chimney is needed even for expensive and modern modules. Sozha has a property to accumulate, this is happening even with the best firewood. The combustion products are so small that they can be collected even on the perfectly smooth surface.
The chimney calmly cleales with their own brushes. To clean the chimney, it is not necessary to have a special education or possess outstanding knowledge in this area. The only one for what to work is to work - this is the process of creating a brush for cleaning.

It is known that without understanding the reasons for the problem is quite difficult to solve. So, in the process of burning firewood, two types of waste are distinguished: gas and smoke. Smoke is two types: white and black. White smoke is formed from water vapors located in wood, and black from coal, soot and creosote. Black smoke leads to the formation of soot inside the chimney. Practice has shown that chimneys built with their own hands better accumulate soot than those built by professionals.

What will happen if you refuse to clean the chimney? First, the soot will begin to accumulate. The accumulation process will be passed until the smoke (gaseous substance) does not become difficult to squeeze through the pipe into the atmosphere. In such a state, the thrust in the chimney and, accordingly, the quality of the heating of the house is disturbed. With a strong clogging of the pipe there are two types of event development - the metal pipe will deteriorate (at best) or the remains of soot will light down (at worst).

Pollution of chimney

For a long service life of fireplaces and stoves, humanity has accumulated enough experience to combat soot in the pipes. Most devices are not distinguished by complex design and it can be made with their own hands.

• The brush is the most proven, and, oddly enough, one of the most effective ways to clean the pipe.
• Potato peel cleaning (Dedovsky method). This method is quite simple: in the chimney it is necessary to fall asleep by half the pea peel and turn on the heating device. When heated, the potatoes will begin to highlight starch, which decomposes soot.
• Aspen firewood is a simple and dangerous method. To purify the metal pipe you will need aspen lanes. Put them in the stove and footage of the lamps. After some time, you will hear a strange hum, it means that soot in the chimney caught fire and after a while the metal pipe will independently clean. When using such a cleaning method, you are dangerous roof and neighboring buildings - hot particles may accidentally fly to the heat insulating layer and lead to ignition.
• Aluminum banks. Just flatten aluminum banks during the furnace furnace. Aluminum particles have the same charge as the soot. As a result, black smoke will not settle on a protected metal pipe.
• Chemical cleaning is the most unpopular and unpleasant process. After chemical cleaning, the soot is detached partially. This process is accompanied by an unpleasant odor and the formation of the soot, which settles on the interior items.

Production of brushes for chimney personally

The budget chimney cleaning brush is easily made with their own hands. For its manufacture, follow the instructions below:

• Go to the market and buy a synthetic round broom there, the metallic cable is the same length as the chimney, two clamps, stud (8 mm thread) and several piles.
• Washes of villi on a synthetic round broom so that they resemble a bouquet. Keep in mind - Vilki can not immediately succumb to your efforts. To soften the villi, they can be placed in boiling water for several minutes.
• A dismissed brush is deposited to the side. We take your ear and screw the hairpin on it at both ends. Further you need the ERR to clean the chimney and the washer, which is attached from the bottom of the ram.
• If the heroes diameter does not suit you, you can twist the washer more. The more it is spinning, the stronger the veins are straightened to the sides. As soon as you decide that the brush has the desired diameter - proceed to the next stage.
• Press on the base from above and slowly screw the second mount.
• Ershik turns over. Below you will see your ear fasteners. It needs to be pulled smoothly as much as you want to increase or decrease the diameter of the hero.
• Look for a bracket or make it with your own hands from steel wire. It is necessary to secure the cable on the rash. Before mounting the cable, you need to measure the length of the chimney. After that, a part of the required length is cut off from the metal cable and is attached to the workpiece. Remember that the brush also has its length, so do not forget to take into account this factor in the manufacture of rams with your own hands.
• It remains only to attach the metal cargo to the device (2 kg will be enough).

ERS for cleaning chimneys

The rules for cleaning the chimney

It's time to experience the device made with your own hands. Before cleaning the chimney from the stove, remove the remains of firewood and other combustible materials. We climb on the roof and remove the damper with the chimney, tightly holding a homemade device in hand.

Slowly lower the brush into the chimney. As soon as you feel that Yershik completely sank to the lowest bottom - the like him as high as much as possible. Moves down and up must repeat a few minutes.

After cleaning the metal pipe, from the fireplace you need to remove the fallen soot. This is done by the usual belt. The brush is washed with warm water and put to dry. After cleaning procedures, the stove must be carried out within a few hours. Do not worry because of the impaired traction, it must stabilize in a few minutes of the heating device.

Video: How to clean the chimney? The most effective way

The furnace heating not only does not pass position, but also worries his second birth. For this reason, the issues of proper operation and maintenance of solid fuel units are not less acute than a few centuries ago. With how to drown the oven, and what are the best use of firewood, the owners of private households do not have difficulty. Problems begin when the thrust disappears and smoke begins to go inside the room. And all the reason is the chimney cracked soot and soak. The pipeline today is found problematic, so the maintenance of the chimney will have to spend independently. Everything that will need this is a chimney cleaning, which can be done with your own hands.

What caused clogging of chimneys

Such advantages of furnace heating, as economy, autonomy and the ability to create a special, homely atmosphere, can not exceed a single modern heating device. Thanks to this, furnaces and fireplaces are still widely used both in rural areas and in cities. At the same time, the use of solid fuel has a lot of flaws, one of which is the need to regularly purify the flue channels. But the frequency of their service can be significantly reduced, if you know where so much soot and soot come from.

Seaming in a chimney can completely overlap the channel to exit smoke

So, the main factors that contribute to the clogging of chimneys are:

• burning garbage, which consists of high carbon materials (all types of plastic, polyethylene, foam, cardboard, etc.);
• the use of wet firewood;
• violation of the mode of operation of the heating device;
• firework firing, which contain a large number of resins (pine, spruce, fir, etc.);
• rarely removed ash from oven working chambers;
• violation of the fuel supply mode;
• hiding side garbage.

In addition, the rapid pollution of the chimney can provoke an increased roughness of the walls of the gas ducts and their incorrect configuration. For this reason, the construction of the furnace is better to entrust the experienced master.

Dangers that make sauhing accumulations

I cannot notice problems with chimney. Most often they will indicate the following signs:

• reduced traction;
• firewood lightly light up during the cross;
• inside the room goes smoke;
• reducing the thermal efficiency of the furnace.

All these factors speak of such a strong blocking of the gas plant that only a narrow hole remains for the release of combustion products. The use of the heating device in such conditions is prohibited, since it often leads to tragic consequences:

Chimney cleaning devices

Remove sediments from a chimney can be chemical and mechanically. The first implies burning in the furnaces of substances, the combustion products of which soften the soot of layers and contribute to their combustion and removal natural through. The second is to remove soot from the chimney walls by various scrapers, brushes, etc.

Chemicals for cleaning the chimney make it possible to do without mechanical devices, but have a sufficiently high cost

Practice shows that the cleaning of the mechanical way is best to carry out with a hard hero, like that is used for washing the dishes with a narrow neck. For the manufacture of such a tool, a wide variety of materials are suitable:

• steel rope;
• plastic bottles;
• segments of steel wire;
• thick bulk or plastic rods;
• springs;
• thick tires;
• metal chain or solid rope;
• a variety of weights and sore.

The selection of this or that material for the manufacture of the hero to clean the chimneys depends on how much the stuffing soot will have to be deleted. For regularly serviced chimneys from steel or asbestos-cement pipes, a tool with soft bristles will suit, while brick gas ducts with perennial layers of soot can be cleaned only with a metal wire with a metal wire. It is best to have in its arsenal several fixtures of varying degrees of rigidity or make one combined tool.

How to make a cooking tool

Before making the manufacture of fixtures to remove seasal sediments, it is necessary to think through its design and dimensions. It must be considered:

• the length of the chimney;
• diameter of the gas plant;
• number and resistance of deposits.

Based on the introductory data, conclusions are drawn on the length of the cable, weight of the cargo, the sizes of the rod and its rigidity.

The length of the rope or cable used to hold the brush is taken with a margin of 2-2.5 meters. This will allow a stronger to hold the fixture in the hands, and if necessary, make a loop around the chimney, so as not to drop the tool into the chimney. As a weight, any cargo can be used - from specially cast lead blanks to some heavy nut or annexious car part.

Production of plastic Yersh

The budget brush to remove soot from the chimney can be easily made from the girlfriend. For the manufacture of plastic Yers, you will need:

• broom of polypropylene rods;
• plumbing cable of the right length;
• metal stud with a diameter of 8 mm with an eye;
• nut with a diameter of 8 mm with an eye;
• washer with a diameter of at least 50 mm with a hole of 8 mm;
• 2 carbine;
• cargo by 0.5-2 kg.

If you could not find a hairpin and a nut with the eyeles, do not despair - the usual bolt is suitable. The loop for fastening the cable and cargo can be made of steel wire.

Materials that will be needed for the manufacture of plastic jersh for chimneys

The diameter of the rod from plastic elements should be slightly more sections of the smoke channel. This will provide an enlarged pressure of individual spots on the chimney walls and increase the cleaning speed.

The work is performed in the following order:

1. From the synthetic brooms cut off or unscrew the cuttings - in the future it will not need. To make it easier to work, the remaining part is clamped in vice.
2. The bristle round broom is elevated to the sides. To make the material more supplied, the brush is lowered in boiling water or heated with a construction hairdryer.

   
   Plastic broom rods need to straighten

3. If there is no hole inside the holder, then you should make a drilling with a diameter of 8 mm.
4. On the other side where the stalk is mounted, the steel heel with an eye is inserted into the hole.

   
   The stud allows you to fix the bristle in the desired position

5. From the side of the rods on the heel, the washer is installed and pressed the nut with the peas.

   
   Nut with an eye allows not only to fix the rods of the Yersh, but also to attach the load and the cable to it

6. The rods are cut, focusing on the diameter of the chimney.

   
   Needless long bars should be trimmed

7. On the one hand, the cable make a loop, fixing the metal edge knitted wire.
8. With the help of Carabins, a cable is fixed to one eye, and to the other - the cargo.

   
   Ring for chimney can be made with their own hands

In addition to the synthetic broom, a good material for the manufacture of soft rods are plastic containers from under carbonated water. To make a "lush" brush, you will need 5-6 such vessels and a sharp knife. It is necessary to cut off the bottom of the bottom, and the walls are dissolved on the strips with a width of 3 to 10 mm. After that, all tanks, except one, cut the neck, getting a hole slightly larger than the diameter of the neck. The assembly into a single design is performed by planting parts for the remaining threaded part and fixing them with the help of the lid. After that, they make drilling under the heel and fasten the rosch to the cable and the weight described above.

To make bristles from a plastic bottle more hard, they are heated by a burner or a construction hairdryer. The same method can be used in order to give a brush the desired form.

How to make a metal brush

For the manufacture of a cleaning tool from a metal, you can use the segments of steel wire (cable) or to put a wire brutal brush into the case. In the latter case, the device for the ESM is simply satisfied with the car with a cargo and is attached with wire. If the use of a working tool is not intended for you is unacceptable, then you can make a metal rod with your own hands. To do this, you will need:

Metal rod manufacturing technology does not differ in difficulty:

Simplicity of this method makes it extremely popular among home masters. At the same time, there is another very interesting tool that combines simultaneously brush to remove soot and cargo. In addition to the tools and materials described above, it will take:

• steel pipe with a diameter of more than 50 mm;
• electric drill;
• high carbon steel core;
• metal drill, the diameter of which corresponds to the cross section of the wire or cable;
• sand-cement mortar.

To make a brush, just as in the previous case, prepare the required amount of flexible elements. Next act like this:

1. Through the walls of the steel pipe make through holes. The accuracy of this work and the step between drills depends depends on the thickness and uniformity of the bristles, so this stage should be taken as responsibly as possible.
2. Wire elements are fought in the holes, having their edges symmetrically with respect to the pipe.
3. A steel bar is installed in the center to which the holding cable will be attached.
4. The inner surface of the pipe is filled with a mortar, which will ensure fixation of flexible elements and will make the device quite severe.

The tool can be used only after the cement-sand mixture will grab and acquire the necessary strength.

What you need to know before omitting the tool in the chimney

The chimney should be cleaned not at the end of the heating season, but at its beginning. This will make it possible to have complete confidence that there are no bird nests in the chimney, corks from the web and leaves or other garbage. It is best for this one of the warm and windless days at the beginning of autumn.

When cleaning the chimney, take care of the appropriate equipment and insurance

Before changing into a pipeline costume and proceed to the technical maintenance of the chimney, it is necessary to close all the flaps and doors of the furnace. Saya is the smallest particles capable of leaking into any gaps and pollute the premises and items that are located in it. If it is necessary to maintain a fireplace pipe with an open furnace, it is sealed with a polyethylene film and a tape.

The process of cleaning the chimney does not differ in difficulty. The RUSS is repeatedly lowered into the smoke canal, knocking down deposits from the walls. To enhance the effect, it should alternate reciprocating movements with a cable twisting in different directions. Sozhane refers to down. It is possible to remove it through the revision hatch, using the Sovkom, Kocherga and Meetelka.

There are situations where the device in the middle of the way rises to an irresistible obstacle. It can be any volumetric subject - some rag, a bird's nest or a piece of bricks from the masonry. In this case, the ESRS is removed and the resulting jam is knocked out alone Gary, in the calculation that the plug will fall into the stove. After that, the brush is returned to the place and the sewage activities renew.

Regular disposal of soot will be needed even where the newest, high-tech solid fuel equipment is used. Yersh, which can be done with their own hands, will cope with the most persistent sediments. It is only important not to postpone the work on cleaning the chimney into a long box - not only the thermal efficiency and the economy of the furnace depends on this, but also the safety of your family.
