Default Any solid fuel installers out there?

I am in the process of designing the flue for the stove for the shed.
I already have the stove (a Stovax Stockton 4 Multifuel).

I want a rear outlet so that the whole top can be used as a hot plate.

One supplier is stating that a 90 degree (45-straight-45) bend is acceptable
in a run of pipe but not connected directly to the rear of the stove.

However Diagram 15 and Paragraph 1.48 seem to show that this is acceptable
and further the dimensions of the bends shown at
http://www.firesonline.co.uk/acatalo...Flue_Pipe.html
seem to tie in neatly with the requiremnt for "maximum 150mm horizontal
section from back outlet of the appliance".

The alternative is a 90 degree T with a plug - however this is difficult to
sweep without using the access at the bottom and the clearance between the
hearth and the bottom of the T is 320mm or just over 1'.

The 45-straight-45 bend is also smoother for gas flow although it will
require slightly more clearance behind the stove.

So is there anyone out there who is current and confirm which interpretation
is correct?

Cheers

Dave R
