Crickey it gets better flue liner

[housewinnie]

Whilst the scaffolding was up the chief thought it would be a good idea to get a liner put down the flue for a stove, I said it's never that simple. Well they turned up and I was right absolutely no way is a stove going in the lounge with that 60s stone fire surround as there isnt enough room anyway you try to get the flue angle joint in, fair enough so what I was trying to avoid will happen one day, smashing the front room to pieces. Anyway I said just stick the liner down whilst your here, they did and left me instructions but am sort of glad I am going to do it myself as they were not going to use a top clamp on the top plate to hold the flue..

Can anyone confirm if what I plan is right please. Top plate on followed by top clamp and protection sleeve trim the liner above the clamp flanch at a slight inward angle and then add chimney pot fhanch and finally add cowel to top of pot.

Cheers all

Worth a Google for stovefitters manual. My system is different - the liner is hung from the chimney cowl.

The stove installer will normally want to be able to lift the liner from the chimney for clearance to install the stove pipe.

Cheers Malcolm I think they have left enough at the bottom to cut and connect to stove, but were happy for me to do the chimney work as they said it was quite straight forward..

It sounds right. How tall is the pot? Tall ones like 3ft benefit from having 1/4 built into the stack. You often see them falling over when only held in by the flaunching.

The pot is only a small one so my plan is to secure the flue with top plate and clamp and leave enough flue poking out, which is a 5 inch flue put pot over and add the supplied cowel which happens to be 6 inch and slip that over the protruding flue. then flaunch it all in.
