Wow.People are often astounded at flueless gas fires, especially with all the
hype surrounding carbon monoxide over the past few years, often with
unfounded fears...this particular model utilises a 'catalytic system', but
even without it, they are completely safe.

An interesting opinion, Phil.
Wasn't it you that told a poster that they had 30 psi gas pressure?

If you want to know what the Corgi bunch think of them, read this;

Edited highlights;
Slide; "The catalytic converters only last so long, and people are
unlikely to get them replaced when they are spent. This means they lose
the ability to convert CO into CO2, and start killing people."

ARGI via Letchworth; "The investigation of a considerable body of
evidence by members of ARGI has identified a number of serious 'safety'
concerns including the lack of a British Standard governing the
construction and installation of flueless gas fire appliances. It has
therefore been decided to advise ARGI members not to become involved in
the specifying, installation or repair/maintenance of these appliances
until these concerns have been resolved and an acceptable standard has
been written. For further information please contact ARGI through the
Secretary, details are listed below."


A Corgi registered fitter (although not registered for gas fires) was
recently convicted and imprisoned for manslaughter after incorrectly
fitting a new faulty flueless gas fire. The DIYers buying fires at the
sheds are playing with fire, so to speak.


They should be banned, on efficiency grounds as well as on safety
grounds.
