The kitchen exhaust pipe does not need to be insulated.
The temperature of the grease smoke discharged through the wind wheel is not very high, and the heat-resistant temperature of the PVC exhaust pipe is much higher than the temperature of the grease smoke and the oxidation-resistant ability is high.
Smoke will first go to the secondary flue, and then enter the main flue through the holes in the partition, which ensures that the smoke in each household is isolated. If the secondary flue is connected directly to the main flue, it will be too low pressure and lead to backed-up or cascading smoke.
