HETAS Chimney Sweep Starter Kit - Basic
***£117.40 + VAT SAVING IF BOUGHT AS A KIT***
This kit has been primarily designed for those trainees carrying out the HETAS Chimney Sweep training course and require the minimum chimney sweep kit as specified by HETAS.
This kit is a mix of manual and rotary kit and can be used from smaller 4" flues up to large open chimney flues, using a combination of different rod sizes to sweep a flue of various widths and heights. For example in an open flue at 12 metres with an offset, use 1 x 3/4" & 12 x 7/8" Bailey rods and the a suitable sized Bulldog manual brush.
The kit comes with flexible liner rods in sizes 8mm, 10mm and 12mm SnapLok Solid Nylon Liner Rods and the rotary power head supplied is a 9"/230mm SnapLok Bullet for liners.
Accessories include high quality cordura hearth sheet and runner, plus sweep through sheets that also comes with a range of magnets to secure them onto stoves.
The SnapLok Double Button system is highly efficient and takes less than 30 seconds to connect all the double button lock rods together, plus having dual buttons there is no fear of rod disconnection in the flue as compared to single button systems! The rods are all completely corrosion resistant as the ferrules/fittings are all high grade steel, apart from the 12mm rods which are manufactured from stainless steel, this keeps the rods really light and therefore flow a lot smoother in a steel liner, with no ‘liner slap’ that occurs as with heavy brass fittings. All the rods are quadruple crimped on either side of the rod ferrule/fitting. There is also a sizeable tolerance so that when the rods are connected there is enough movement to prevent the soot from jamming the rods together and therefore aids in the disconnecting of the rods.
The SnapLok rotary rods are colour coded for easy recognition:
8mm Liner Rods - White
10mm Liner Rods - Red
12mm Liner Rods - White
12mm Liner Stiff Rods - Grey
15mm Rods - Red
We do not make a white lead rod, as we feel that this is a weakness in the kit. Using the same rod as a lead rod every time makes that one lead rod very weak after a period of time, and in our experience using other systems this can lead to a breakage of the lead rod, so rotating all the rods in the kit is the preferred method of power sweeping.
