Deflector Ricom DN80 stainless steel | TERM08I

Stainless steel chimney deflector Ricom DN80 (model TERM08I) is designed for 80 mm flue outlets to improve draft and direct exhaust gases away from the chimney opening. Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this deflector reduces backflow and helps stabilize combustion in chimney and ventilation systems. It is compatible with metal and ceramic chimneys and can be used with gas, oil and solid fuel appliances. The compact DN80 size fits directly onto 80 mm pipes for straightforward installation and contributes to lower soot buildup and more consistent exhaust flow.

Advantages

The Ricom TERM08I deflector provides enhanced draft control and reduces the risk of downdraughts without requiring modifications to existing flue pipes. Its stainless steel construction offers durability and resistance to corrosive flue gases, while the simple DN80 fitment ensures quick mounting on standard 80 mm outlets. By directing exhaust flow and minimizing turbulence at the chimney top, the device helps maintain steady combustion and can contribute to reduced soot accumulation in the flue.

Suitable for

• Improving draft on metal and ceramic chimneys with 80 mm outlets
• Gas-fired boilers, water heaters and stoves with DN80 flue connections
• Oil and solid fuel appliances that require stabilization of exhaust flow
• Ventilation systems where backflow reduction and soot control are needed

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Designed flue diameter: 80 mm (DN80)
• Function: draft improvement, exhaust direction and backflow reduction
• Compatible chimney types: metal and ceramic
• Application: gas, oil and solid fuel appliances, ventilation outlets

How to use

Mount the Ricom DN80 deflector directly onto the 80 mm flue outlet, ensuring a secure fit and proper alignment with the chimney axis. No special tools or alterations to the flue pipe are typically required; tighten any clamps or fixings according to the installation situation to prevent movement. After installation, check the exhaust flow during appliance operation to confirm improved draft and correct positioning. Periodically inspect the deflector for soot accumulation and external damage as part of routine chimney maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use the deflector only on flues with a matching 80 mm diameter and follow appliance manufacturer guidelines for chimney clearances and maintenance intervals. Regular inspection and cleaning of the chimney and deflector will support stable combustion and prolong service life.
