With the OekoTube-Masonry, it is now possible to install the separator in the masonry chimney indoors.
In July, the OekoTube-Masonry received DIBt approval (Z-7.4-3451) and is approved for up to 100 kW and for multiple use. This enables the simultaneous operation of several fireplaces on one chimney. This means, for example, that existing tiled stoves and fireplace inserts that cannot be replaced can be retrofitted with the OekoTube-Masonry and continue to be operated in compliance with the law. Of course, automatic fireplaces such as pellet, wood chip or lump wood boilers can also be equipped with the OekoTube-Masonry in order to meet the requirements of the 1st BImSchV.
Due to the preferred installation in the attic, the particle separator is easily accessible for installation and cleaning by the chimney sweep. The chimney is opened at one point and an installation frame is walled in. The separator can then be easily attached to this installation frame. For cleaning, the chimney sweep can simply remove the particle separator from the chimney and carry out the cleaning as usual.
