The Exodraft Solution 5 Chimney Fan Package provides a complete mechanical chimney draught solution for an open fireplace or two stoves connected to a brick or element chimney terminating above the roof ridge line.
At the heart of the package is the larger Exodraft RS012 chimney fan. Installed at the top of the chimney, the fan creates negative pressure within the chimney and flue system to help establish and maintain reliable draught. This makes Solution 5 suitable for more demanding installations where greater chimney fan capacity is required.
What Is Solution 5 For?
Solution 5 is designed specifically for installations with an open fireplace or two stoves connected to a brick or element chimney terminating above the roof ridge.
- Open fireplaces
- Two stove installations
- Wood-burning appliances
- Brick chimney systems
- Element chimney systems
- Above-ridge chimney terminations
It is particularly useful where additional mechanical draught assistance is required because of the fireplace opening, multiple connected appliances, chimney dimensions, wind conditions or other factors affecting natural chimney draught.
Complete Chimney Draught Package
Rather than selecting the chimney fan, controller and installation accessories individually, Exodraft Solution 5 combines the main components required for the specified installation into one convenient package.
Three control options are available: EFC16, EFC18V2 and Xzense, allowing you to choose the level of control and automation that best suits the installation.

Exodraft RS012 Chimney Fan
The Exodraft RS012 is a horizontal-discharge chimney fan designed for solid-fuel installations. Positioned at the chimney termination, it creates negative pressure within the flue and chimney to provide a more controlled and dependable draught.
The RS012 provides greater capacity than the RS009 used within Solutions 1 and 3, making Solution 5 suitable for the specified application of an open fireplace or two stoves.
Benefits of an Exodraft Chimney Fan
- Creates reliable chimney draught
- Helps improve fire lighting
- Helps minimise smoke spillage
- Supports consistent operation
- Assists during refuelling
- Reduces draught fluctuations
- Provides controllable performance
Open Fireplace Chimney Draught
Open fireplaces can require considerably more chimney draught than a closed stove because of the larger fireplace opening and greater volume of air entering the chimney.
Solution 5 combines the RS012 chimney fan with the appropriate control and installation components to provide mechanical assistance where natural draught alone may not be sufficient.
Two Stove Installations
Solution 5 can also be used for the specified Exodraft arrangement involving two stoves. The larger RS012 chimney fan provides the additional capacity required for this type of installation when compared with the smaller single-appliance packages.
The suitability and configuration of any multiple-appliance chimney system should always be assessed for the individual installation.
Which Exodraft Solution Do I Need?
The correct package depends on the appliance arrangement, chimney construction and position of the chimney termination.
Solution 1: Single stove or insert, brick/element chimney, terminating above the roof ridge – RS009.
Solution 2: Single stove or insert, brick/element chimney, terminating below the roof ridge – RSV009.
Solution 3: Single stove or insert, steel chimney, terminating above the roof ridge – RS009.
Solution 4: Single stove or insert, steel chimney, terminating below the roof ridge – RSV009.
Solution 5: Open fireplace or two stoves, brick/element chimney, terminating above the roof ridge – RS012.
