How do I know what size I require?

 Some houses built in Ireland from the 1970's onwards have a round shaped flue. We sell the one size suitable for any round standard round shaped flue (7 to 9 Inch) Older houses are likely to have square or rectangular shaped flues. Use a torch to view up the inside of your chimney. Establish whether you require a square, rectangular or round shaped chimney balloon. If it is a square or rectangular chimney you will need to locate two straight or parallel walls to where the chimney balloon will rest once inflated. (See Diagrams) Measure this area front to back and left to right and compare measurements with the standard sizes available to establish which size you require.



Most chimney flues in any modern house are round shaped and between 7 to 9 Inches in diameter. We have the one size balloon to suit your requirements. (See Diagram)



How do I fit it?

  1. Open package and unroll your chimney balloon
  2. Remove small black rubber hose from chimney balloon handle and attach inflation tube in its place.
  3. Blow a little into balloon to so as to slightly inflate balloon.Place balloon in the location you require it to be when fully inflated.
  4. Blow into inflation tube until you start to feel resistance. Continue until the balloon is firm to touch.
  5. Close tap to ensure that the balloon is airtight.
  6. Check that balloon is firmly secure by gently pushing handle into balloon to ensure that it does not move.
  7. Remove inflation tube and store for future use or leave hanging down your chimney to remind you that the chimney balloon is installed.
  8. Alternatively place the red sign that comes in the pack near your fireplace to remind you the balloon has been installed.


Deflation Chimney Balloon

Simply open the tap on the chimney balloon handle to let the air out. Once it has deflated enough, remove carefully from chimney to avoid damage and store for future use.
