The Flue Stretcher raises flues to a whole new level! By increasing
the effective height of the flue, the Flue Stretcher solves two
problems: 1) Reduce negative house pressures. Negative house pressures
can pull the smoke from one flue down another flue right beside
it. Adding the Flue Stretcher to the upstairs flue distances its
smoke from the downward pull of the downstairs flue. 2) Increase
draft, By putting the flue opening above roofs and other nearby
structures you improve draft and reduce downdrafts. Flue Stretches
come in stainless steel, in 1' and 2' heights. Mesh is 3/4". The
Flue Stretcher easily tightens with screws to the flue tile on
all four sides of the base for extra security. Load tests simulating
side wind and updraft conditions have demonstrated the Flue Stretcher
mounting system holds tight under several hundred pounds of force.
