Compatible families
Every joint belongs together.
Straight sections, bends, tees, adaptors, supports and the terminal are selected from one connection system rather than mixed casually.
Matched chimney systems
The part you should never improvise.
KALM Flames specifies the fireplace and its complete flue route together—from the visible room connector to the protected passage and weatherproof roof terminal.

Complete component familySystem architecture
One compatible route, end to end.
The appliance connector, insulated chimney, supports, weathering and terminal are selected as one compatible system. Exact dimensions follow the fireplace instructions and the building assessment.
01Visible room connectorA single-wall connector is used only where the appliance and flue instructions permit it, with the specified clearance to combustible materials. It must not be used as an unprotected passage through walls, ceilings or roof spaces.
02Insulated chimneyTwin-wall sections carry the flue through protected ceiling, roof and external zones.
03Supports and weatheringCompatible supports, flashing and storm collar secure and weather the route.
04Roof terminalA terminal suited to the appliance and roof exposure completes the system.
Manufacturer-backed specification
Built as a system, not a collection of guesses.
These supplier catalogue photographs show the component families used for planning. Steel grade, thickness, insulation, diameter and connection method are confirmed against the final compatible system before quotation.

Diameter and route are project-specific.
Common circular fireplace sizes range from 100 to 250 mm. Built-in braais use a section matched to the gather and route. Neither is reduced without engineering confirmation.

$799Standard 4 m hardware kit from
Straight through the roof
A practical starting point for a standard single-storey home.
The planning kit combines visible connector pipe, the approved transition, insulated chimney, locking bands, ceiling finish, roof weathering and a compatible cowl.
Hardware only. Diameter, component count and flashing type depend on the chosen fireplace, ceiling height and roof construction. Installation, access equipment, offsets, adaptors and building work are assessed separately.

Each card uses a real supplier catalogue photograph. The exact diameter, finish and matching connection are confirmed in the project quotation.
Single-wall pipe
The visible connector between the fireplace and the insulated-system transition.
Insulated chimney
Insulated chimney sections still require their specified air gaps, supports and approved penetration components. Insulation does not permit contact with combustible construction.
System adaptor
A compatible transition joins the room connector to the insulated system.
Controlled bend
Creates a measured offset where the route cannot remain perfectly vertical.
90° bend
Used only where the selected system and installation design allow it.
T-piece and clean-out
Turns an external route upward and provides controlled access below the junction.
Locking band
Secures compatible sections at their designed connection.
Support bracket
Carries and aligns the chimney at the support points calculated for the route.
Wall bracket
Stabilises an external rise at the specified intervals.
Roof flashing
Selected for the roof material, pitch, temperature and chimney outside diameter.
Storm collar
Sits above the flashing to help shed water around the penetration.
Rain cap
A compatible terminal helps protect the open flue from direct rainfall and debris.
Alternative route
Through the wall, cleanly and proportionately.
Where a straight roof route is unsuitable, the system turns through the exterior wall, rises on a supported tee and terminates above the roofline.
Installed through-wall route01Matched wall-passage hardwareThe connector, transition and penetration components are selected as one compatible route.
02Exterior tee and clean-outThe junction turns the route upward and keeps service access beneath it.
03Supported external riseCalculated brackets keep the chimney stable and aligned above the roofline.
These images are reference examples, not approval of a particular installation. Final dimensions, clearances, supports and termination height follow the selected system instructions and site assessment.
Visible finishes
Choose the finish deliberately.
These are real photographed component families. Coating, steel grade and the finish available for the selected diameter are confirmed with the final system.
Visible connector
Matte black
A dark coated finish that visually continues the fireplace body.
Enquire about matte blackVisible connector
Stainless steel
A bright metallic finish for exposed chimney details and contemporary interiors.
Enquire about stainless steelRoof terminals
Choose a real cowl for the real requirement.
Rain protection, a compact conical terminal and wind-driven extraction are different products. KALM confirms compatibility, flue shape, roof exposure and maintenance requirements before supply.
Fixed rain cowl
A non-moving terminal where direct rain and debris protection are the main requirement.
Conical terminal
A compact fixed terminal selected only where its outlet design suits the appliance and route.
Wind-driven rotary cowl
Specify a rotary terminal only when its manufacturer confirms suitability for the fuel, flue-gas temperature and chimney system. A general roof-space ventilator is not a substitute.
Project enquiries
Specify the fireplace and flue together.
Share the chosen fireplace, room, ceiling, roof and preferred route. KALM will assess the project and prepare a coordinated installation quotation.
