Anchor plate with side condensate drain

Every twin-wall stainless steel chimney needs a solid base on which it can be safely built. An anchor plate is usually used as the lowest "foundation component". It can be fitted or screwed to a suitable surface –  ideally a solid, professionally constructed foundation. 

Wall mounting is another popular option. In this case, the anchor or base plate of the stainless steel chimney is secured using a wall bracket.

Please note that screws, nuts and washers are not included. "We strongly recommend that you do not compromise on the fixings either. Specifically, to prevent small rust spots from forming and potentially damaging stainless steel sheets, do not use low-quality screws. For example, use only stainless steel screws to fit wall brackets," advises Thomas Freitag from the OSKAR stainless steel chimney systems team.
