The Exodraft Solution 1 Chimney Fan Package provides the essential components required to create a reliable mechanical chimney draught system for a single fireplace, stove or insert. Designed for installations using a brick or element chimney that terminates above the roof ridge, the package combines the proven Exodraft RS009 chimney fan with your choice of control system.
Installed at the top of the chimney, the RS009 chimney fan creates negative pressure within the flue, helping establish and maintain a consistent chimney draught. This can make lighting the fire easier, improve performance during normal operation and help reduce the risk of smoke escaping into the room when natural chimney draught is insufficient.
What Is This Package For?
This package is designed primarily for single solid-fuel fireplace and stove installations where additional assistance is required to create or stabilise chimney draught.
- Wood-burning stoves
- Fireplace inserts
- Open fireplaces
- Single fireplace installations
- Brick chimney systems
- Element chimney systems
- Chimneys terminating above the roof ridge
It can be particularly useful where chimney performance is affected by the height or design of the chimney, surrounding buildings, wind conditions or other factors that can contribute to weak or inconsistent natural draught.

Exodraft RS009 Chimney Fan
At the heart of each package is the Exodraft RS009 chimney fan. Designed for solid-fuel appliances including wood-burning stoves and fireplaces, the fan is installed at the chimney termination and creates negative pressure within the chimney and flue system.
The RS range uses a horizontal flue-gas discharge and is designed to provide a stable mechanical draught when natural chimney draught alone cannot provide consistent performance.
